I just started using Bokun. Tried many other services before and since I have "outside the box needs" none of them could solve my problems. Bokun takes time to set up and optimize, but that's the thin... See more

Business exposure

The way they give us a landing from our side as small tour operators. They are somehow affordable and giving the required exposure of our business.

Bad experience

I used Bokun to manage my bookings, but I encountered serious issues, especially with OTA platform synchronization. The biggest problem was with Viator – time slots appeared as unavailable when they were actually free, leading to lost potential bookings.

When I tried to resolve the issue with customer support, I faced an extremely slow and ineffective team. Responses took a long time, and the solutions provided were generic and unhelpful. For software that charges a monthly fee plus a percentage per booking, I expected much better service and a more reliable system.

If reliable synchronization with OTA platforms is crucial for your business, I recommend considering other alternatives.

Hi Željko, Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience with connecting your products. While we can see that you have already secured bookings through OTAs, we understand the frustration regarding some products’ availability on Viator not being as smooth as expected.

Our team has been in ongoing communication with you, requesting essential details to identify the root cause of the issue. We have also offered a meeting to expedite the resolution and ensure that availability discrepancies are fully addressed. Please rest assured that there is no connectivity issue we cannot resolve, and we appreciate your collaboration as we work together with our advanced support team to find a solution.

Bókun is a sector-leading platform known for its stability and extremely low API error rates. While occasional errors may occur, we continuously work to resolve them by identifying their root causes, which is essential for long-term improvements.

Our experience with the firm was quite…

Our experience with the firm was quite difficult. Wrong information and lack of help. Long chat came to nothing. A lot of time wasted. Terrible experience.

In reply to Fabio: The experience happened last night with your agent Ashpak. In the end, I asked to have a complaint filed and he simply terminated the chat. So it was not very nice. He later emailed at 22:42 last night. There is a chat transcript. Perhaps you can start from that that. I have just managed to remedy the problem by myself today. I appreciate your quick response and offer to help and so change my rating for this.

Update: My online chat is blocked by their agents in India where Bokun online chat support is based I suppose. I have been waiting for over an hour this afternoon, 9 Feb and also emailed their support. I am wondering whether it is to do with this review. This is very disappointing considering Bokun is essentially a service company.

Amazing chat agent

The agent at Bokun was amazing on the chat system. Her used everyday words and when I didn't know how to do something, he suggested another way which I was familiar with.

I felt relaxed and confident by the end off the chat and able to rectify the mistakes that I had made.

I felt valued, not stupid!
