Hoteliers say

Hoteliers like Apaleo for its open API, which offers unmatched flexibility in building custom tech stacks, leading to improved efficiency and customer experience. It's ideal for hotels aiming to streamline processes, enhance guest interactions, and reduce operational costs. However, the need for third-party integrations for some functionalities, such as advanced reporting and CRM features, is noted as a drawback. The platform's frequent updates and community engagement are appreciated.
