I'm generally happy. I was assisted with my site and setting it up. I have been able to reach out to other resellers and operators in the marketplace and have working contracts with them. Everything has been easy for the most part. The only time I had an issue was when I would make a change that would affect the other OTA's and throw it out of synchronization, but Bokun was always quick to help me.

Pros

I am a sole proprietor operating food tour experiences. When I purchased Bokun they assigned a person to help me set up my site. That person would check back with me and any questions I had I would reach out to them. This allowed me to get up and going super quickly.

Cons

I still needed some help in getting it all set up so it's still a little bit more difficult than it should be. The only problems I had were when I would make changes that would throw the synchronization between the different OTA's out of whack and it wasn't immediately evident what it was that I did at the time. However, those are operator errors (my errors). Each time it happened, Bokun would help me out by letting me know exactly where those errors were made.

We really dislike BOKUN because it is for small private experience, but if it is large company the services qre very bad, TRhis software is made only for viator or maybe otyher OTAs but not for daily uses,

Pros

The product list widget, that i can't someone and they can use all the products,

Cons

The CUSTOMER Services, everytime you write them: They say:"WE HAVE IMPLIMENTED YOUR FETURE REQUEST AND SOON WE WILL GIVE YOU ANSWER" After 6 months no answer.

Response from Bókun, A TripAdvisor Company

Hi Neeraj, thank you for taking the time to write a review about our company. We're sorry to hear that you're not happy with the platform and experience. While we want to hear all about the improvements that you're missing from our platform, we can't promise that these will be implemented or that they will be implemented swiftly, since any request need to go through validation by our product team and an assessment by IT first. We understand that your raised feedback is a feature that you need, and your feature has been submitted to the relevant department for evaluation.

We're sorry to hear that you feel this platform can't be used for daily use. Currently, our platform may be part of Tripadvisor but is its own subdivision and operating independently. You can connect to OTAs, your own system and partners using the marketplace and our use is meant for daily operations getting your bookings together in one place.
Many thanks - Valerie Bókun support team

My experience with Bókun has been very positive overall. The support I received made a significant difference in my ability to use the platform effectively, and I appreciate their dedication to customer satisfaction. I look forward to continuing to work with them!

Pros

What I liked most about Bókun was their stellar customer service. The team was responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping me navigate their platform. Every interaction felt personalized, making me feel valued as a customer.

Cons

One area for improvement would be the user interface; it could be more intuitive, especially for new users.
