I work at a building that is home to several small/start-up companies who alternately need our shared conference spaces. YAROOMS has been a great solution for our building. People at varying levels of computer savvy-ness have been able to use this with no problems - the calendars are very straightforward. On occasion, people will have issues booking new meetings on our door iPads which run the tablet app, but this may be more of a tablet & user issue. (Some examples from our version of the app: you just type over the generic title "Meeting" to re-name; adjusting the start & end times on new bookings is hard for those who cannot see small numbers.) Overall these issues are very minor, and immediately fixable. We like YAROOMS.
Pros
YAROOMS is pretty easy and intuitive to use for people at all "tech levels"! (This goes for both the website and the tablet app.)
Cons
On the iPad "YAROOMS Door" app, sometimes people at my building have difficulty changing the time when booking new meetings.

Pros
I love the ease of use and the fact that the ergonomy of the product made it so easy to drive adoption in the organization. We are not a big company but any kind of new software that needs to be implemented and adopted came with its own hurdles. With YArooms it just went great.
Cons
There is no monthly plan, only yearly ones. It is true that there is also a solution to pay only by the amount of usage, but having a lot of meetings makes it inefficient economically.

Hi Emil,
Thank you for your review.
The great advantage of the annually prepaid subscriptions, is that they can be close at any time the customer needs, and a refund will be issued for the remaining balance.

Good tool, needs some fine-tuning
Reviewed on 2024-06-06
Pros
Relativiely easy to use once you understand that you need to plan in calendar before booking your desk. Application in Teams is very practical.
Cons
Desk options (screen size for example) would be more practical if it was visible with a symbol on the desk rather that when hovering over desk with the mouse. The independant application on iphone is not very functional.

It works like it’s described. It’s dependable. It should continue to be updated to stay current, but its overall a decent experience
Pros
I like how easy it is to use. It works like it should, and it’s user friendly.
Cons
It just feels like a software program that has not been refined. It feels like it’s in beta testing. I think there needs to be constant feedback and implementation of feedback. However, I don’t know enough about this process, and it might be a very challenging process.

Takes the guess work out of booking rooms
Reviewed on 2020-04-14
Pros
I love that it is easy to book a room, know what is available and how long you can stay! It also takes away the awkward conversation of kicking someone out of a room. You check in and when you do the person currently in the room knows to leave. OR! Even better, if there is no one after you, you can extend your time! I love how easy and intuitive it is! It doesn't allow people to take up a room for an entire day and allows you to always get the time you need.
Cons
I think the online booking platform could be improved. It is a lot of scrolling and click to find the rooms and times that you need. Just making it that much easier to use and see what is available.
Response from YAROOMS
Thank you for the review, Amber. We are happy you are enjoying YAROOMS. To have a broader oversight of meetings and rooms, you can switch from daily to weekly or monthly views.

I was skeptical when our organization introduced this tool, but essentially it just made our office life easier!
Pros
Amazing tool - helps to plan your office days, very user friendly, not overly complicated, I think it is fantastic tool to use in todays corporate landscape.
Cons
I wish the tool would allow to book a desk for more than 30 days.
Response from YAROOMS
We appreciate your feedback and are glad you enjoy using Yarooms! The ability to book a desk for more than 30 days might be restricted by your company's internal policy. Please contact your organization's administrator for more information.

I like the experience with being able to book a different room, or the opportunity to book the same room. I also like booking a meeting space to meet with my team. I also like seeing on the screen where members of my team are, or other coworkers.
Pros
I like that I can move around to different desks, and seating positions whenever they are available.
Cons
The least thing I like about YAROOMS, is nothing.

Great product
Reviewed on 2024-05-17
Pros
It's really easy to use, allows the whole company to book desks and meeting rooms in advance, and for us to see how much space there is in the office on any given day. I also like that it helps us calculate the carbon emissions used travelling to and from the office.
Cons
The reoccurring booking feature isn't the most straightforward to use, me and other colleagues have accidentally booked the whole week, instead of booking the same day, two weeks in a row.

Necessary for remote workers' planning
Reviewed on 2024-05-09
Pros
I like it because it helps me organize and decide better when to go to the office, considering the general assistance thanks to seeing who has booked a desk. Same for choosing the right spot to sit depending on my objective that day.
Cons
The Map view can be enhanced by adapting it to full view when first logged in. From full screen and then zooming in, or maybe allowing the preference to see the area where I usually reserve my desk.

Any new features in Yarooms will be most welcome.
Pros
1. Easy to use.
2. Updates promptly.
3. Photos can be uploaded.
Cons
1. Expensive annual subscription
2. Need to set different levels of user access eg. certain facilities can be booked by key personnel only. Classroom booking for teachers only. Studio booking by receptionists only.
3. Give administrator the rights to block certain user group/person for a period of time. Eg. User forgets to release booking. Administrator will impose a penalty to user for 1 month period. After that period, user may be re-instated to continue use of Yaroom.

Hi Susanna,
Thank you for your review.
For the 1st point, please note that if you break down the cost to a monthly calculation, the annual plans get cheaper than the PAYG plan, the costs are fixed, and you can cancel at any time. We noted the other points, and we ensure you that your feedback is taken in consideration for out future improvement works.

The product usage is great. And after we were allowed to remain on the older platform, service was good. Didn't like the pressure at first.
Pros
It's easy to onboard people. The system is very easy to navigate.
Cons
The sales staff were trying to move us to the latest version - with some pressure. The new platform did not have drag and drop functionality (at the time) and could not migrate existing meetings. Lack of migration (even for a fee) was an enormous issue.

The notification settings. Sometimes they revert back to "factory settings" without notice.

Thank you for your input. As far as the notifications are concerned, these are affected by account admins which can set them on/off for all the users from the Global settings menu. To over-ride their selection you can choose to set them as an individual user from the My Account > Notifications tab.

It is easy to use and quite helpful, especially if you are in coworking space or sharing an office like ourselves.
Pros
We are one of three orgs sharing the same space and are often losing track who is using which rooms. YArooms will help you schedule your meetings and book the rooms seamlessly. Also, the mobile app is great and makes scheduling super easy.
Cons
We are still on a free trial but will consider if we will go with Starter and Office plan. The difference is price-wise huge -- we are more than 10, but def. much less than 100. There should be an option in between.

Excellent Office Map and Desk Space Reservation Tool
Reviewed on 2024-06-21
Pros
YAROOMS is user friendly and intuitive - no training was necessary before I was able to reserve my 'hotelling' desk spaces, and the office maps are supremely helpful, especially when trying to navigate an office floor and find a new-reserved desk space you have not used before.
Cons
I would love to be able to change the orientation of/rotate the office floor map in addition to zooming in and out.

Pros
I reserve rooms for events that I am hosting for student groups. YArooms allows me to see what rooms are available real time, even in the middle of the night or the weekend when my college students are wanting to plan events.
Cons
When you are planning a repeating event and there is a conflict on one date and it only overlaps 15 minutes and is okay with the other party. You then have to enter a separate event for that time.
