Thank you Denzil for your kind words on our platform and customer support. Regarding your website, we are and have been happy to assist but there are certain services we cannot provide for free. Regarding Booking.com, the cc feature is part of their API whereas for other OTAs it is not, so unfortunately that is out of our control. And Google Analytics for your website is certainly possible. Please contact us on [email protected] so we can arrange this for you.
No Tripadvisor Connectivity

STAAH- A prodigy in Hospitality.
Comments:
It has been nothing less than brilliant to work with STAAH.
The software has been user friendly and logic driven from training to our daily use at present. In comparison to similar software in Australasia, STAAH the software and its team is punching above its weight. It is blatantly obvious to one that they are one of a kind.
The service has never fallen short,the team is as responsive as a chord and dependable as the sunrise.
What's better is they don't charge the sun & the moon for this amazing service.

Thank you Parul for your review and kind words. We are aware of the voucher discrepancy, which relates to one OTA, but as the modification happens on that OTA after and separately from the inventory update in STAAH it is unfortunately beyond our control. Thank you also for your OTA suggestions. We consider all integration requests as part of our ongoing expansion program and will keep you informed as new OTAs come online.
Great Tool for Channel Management
Comments: Having worked with couple of other channel managers we switched to Staah for the ease of use and actual performance of the software. Basically all functionalities actually work and the customer support team is very fast and friendly to all our needs.

HOTEL IRIS REVIEW
Comments:
A channel manager automates the entire process and keeps your property in sync. It keeps your property's rates and availability up-to-date across all your online marketing channels. This includes all your selected OTAs, booking engines, and your property management system.
A channel manager allows you to manage your bookings with ease. Change your rates and inventory, and update everything from a single place. It decreases the risk of over-bookings and other costly mistakes.

Staah Channel Manager
Comments:
When starting out with Staah, we had a problem with the connection between Staah and Callista.
Both blaming each other. Staah was the one that came forward and helped put things right, even though it wasn't there fault. Admired them for that and have had no problem since.
Ever since then Cheyenne has been most in a helpful, patient manner.

Simple and Effective
Comments: As professional Motel managers we have investigated and compared many channel management systems to introduce to new properties, in our opinion this wins hands downs. The main reason is simplicity of use.

Review From Park Plaza Faridabad
Comments: Staah is a good product which can be used by Front Office & Revenue Management professionals alike. Experience with the product has been great. However, they should work on devising methods to generate reports directly.
