What our clients say about us
We think we're pretty great. But don't take our word for it. Here's what our clients have to say...
"We registered with Let In Edinburgh at the beginning of March 2010, and with the assistance from their team had our four listings live on site within a week. Following going live in a space of just seven more days we were able to confirm 10 bookings for our apartments. Many thanks to the Rental Reserve team."
James Stevenson
Owner of Peploe, Cadell, Fergusson and Hunter Apartments
"We wanted to thank you for your great service. The assistance we had to set our page up was great with quick responses to our questions and help when our computer was not working.
The time spent on the phone to go through the tour of how to get started was great and very helpful to speak to a person and not just work form emails.
We went live Saturday lunch time and had our first booking on Saturday night! I think that says it all.
Thank you to all the team and especially Craig for helping us get sorted on a bank holiday Saturday. Looking forward to working in partnership with you as more bookings come in."
Kirsty Purcell
Owner of City Flat
"Following a slow start for my holiday letting apartment the Let in Edinburgh team rapidly embarked on a review of my listing. They identified a number of factors that should be addressed to improve my bookings. Factors such as:
- Descriptive text for my apartment - they re-wrote the copy in a much more customer focused manner
- Style and quality of photography
- Facilities offered - a seemingly trivial item such as supply of hairdryer can influence a potential customer
- Discount offers and competitive pricing structure - they coached me in how to dynamically set up my own pricing structure and discount offers to help maximise my occupancy.
The review process was rapidly and efficiently executed by the team. I emphasis the word TEAM. Each member of the team brought their own expertise and experience to the table and were all clearly focused on the objective.
I'm pleased to say my bookings are now at a healthy level and look promising for the future. A very worthwhile review."
Lex McColll
Owner of A West End Garden Apartment
"I received a brief training session recently on how to maximise the use of discounting features and flexible pricing which has led to a huge increase (about 300%) in the number of bookings we have through the site. I spend 5 minutes a week updating our availability and pricing and then watch the bookings roll in!"
Neil McInnes
Owner of Edinburgh Castle Hideaway
"Following one of Let in Edinburgh's Property Manager Events, Craig suggested a meeting to discuss my 3 properties in Edinburgh in order for me to fully understand the current market conditions and how to use their comprehensive software to maximise the occupancy rates and increase my revenues.
I now actively manage my vacant periods using a series of promotional pricing tools that the software allows you to adjust your pricing directly to fill a vacancy. There has subsequently been an immediate increase in reservations that I believe I would not have received otherwise by using this technique. It takes approx. 45 minutes a week for me to manage my 3 properties.
I firmly believe that it is better to have a guest using the facility at a reduced last minute rate than the property being empty, along with my reservations obtained at my full rates, combine to allow me to manage and maximise my own profitability."
Mike Gibbons
Owner of Broughton Court Apartments
"Just a quick note to thank you, somewhat belatedly, for your help both last week and on previous occasions explaining the Rental Reserve software and guiding me through the many options available to me to assist in increasing my bookings.
Although I haven't set it in motion 'in real time', I have been experimenting and am amazed at the scope/flexibility available to me to be more proactive in chasing those 'sometime' elusive bookings.
I really appreciate the time and effort that both you and the rest of the team put in to help me (and presumably everyone else) to increase their occupancy levels.
Here's hoping I'll be working in 'real time' soon and I'm sure that I will see a marked improvement in bookings just through the flexibility of the system which allows me to monitor and change my pricing/discounting to increase the probability of getting more bookings."
Lynn Murray
Owner of Earl Grey Court Apartment
"We find the booking software provided by Rental Reserve very easy to use both front and back office. Our apartments are presented well and together with the online booking, we are very pleased with how it works on our site.
Online booking is a must now and we trialled other systems before before deciding that the product Rental Reserve offered was the one for us. The software is simple and flexible to use yet with the sophistication a good booking system requires.
Working with Let in Edinburgh has been hugely beneficial to our business, we currently get around 30% of our bookings through them which is a big proportion from just one site!
Being able to quickly adjust pricing and availability through Let in Edinburgh means that potential customers can see current status of our apartments in real time 24/7 anywhere in the world.
This means that enquirers don't have to wait for a response to an availability enquiry and can book their holiday in their own time. This is great for all involved! Even with those customers who prefer to talk to a person before they book, allowing them to confirm their booking online once speaking to them, means that all their booking details are stored securely in our booking console and we can refer to it at any point.
As a company Rental Reserve are delightful to deal with. Queries are answered promptly and efficiently and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!"
Anna Morris
Manager of 9 Properties
"Let in Edinburgh have been great at helping us set up the pricing system to reflect our best prices and discounts. Always very helpful. Thank you."
Frederika de Courcey Wheeler
Manager, James Square Apartments
"We have only recently begun to actively use the "discounts" tab on the booking software and we have benefited with instant results.
We were provided with good advice and support from Let in Edinburgh staff to set it up and then on how to make fine adjustments so as to maximise this discount facility.
We have found it especially useful to fill last minute gaps in our bookings and give guests excellent value for money for late bookings."
Jill Livingston
Owner, The Capital Apartments
"Following a review of my properties on Let In Edinburgh I have seen a significant increase in the number of bookings received. Within a couple of days of this review I received 3 bookings in the space of an hour while I was having my Sunday lunch!!"
Gordon Forrest
Owner/Manager of 15 properties
"Let in Edinburgh has dramatically improved my occupancy rate, this balanced with helpful staff and a great website leaves me extremely satisfied!"
Richard Shell
Owner/Manager, The Marchmont Apartment
