## Reviews

### "Wouldnt hesitate to recommend the Hostology platform" — 5.0/5

> **Jayne** | *October 17, 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: A really good system for venues / couples and their guests. Easy to use and good customer service as we move from moving from spread sheet to on line system. The customer service has been great and really responsive to suggestions / changes to make this even more user friendly.
> 
> **Cons**: Cost to guests for payments eg: accommodation BUT they have now enabled us to charge this direct to the couple vs the invitee. And also increased the ways to pay eg: BACS but high costs on these transactions.
> 
> Very good.. Good team and easy to access support currently eg: \[sensitive content hidden\]. Keen to continue to take feedback adn develop solutions.

### "Think twice as a guest" — 2.0/5

> **Clare** | *October 9, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Difficult site to navigate, not suitable for multiple generations, lumpy and unclear , no easy contact available
> 
> **Cons**: No refund policy or ease of contact if guest circumstances change due to illness. Again no easy contact information messages left and emails go unanswered
> 
> Poor - advice don’t pay for rooms and accommodation until 72 hours before the event when you know you can attend as otherwise your money will be lost

> 
> **Pros**: Hostology has made our event organisation more streamlined and cost efficient.  It is easy to use and great value.  The customer support is also exceptional.
