SoftwareWorld Editorial Review
Why SoftwareWorld Chooses Xola
"Tour operators and experience-based businesses often find Xola useful for handling bookings, payments, and scheduling in one place. It works well for activity companies that deal with group reservations and need a clear way to manage availability. Staff can track bookings without much back-and-forth, which saves time during busy periods. That said, businesses outside the tours and activities space may find the platform too focused on that niche to suit their broader needs."

Highly Customizable Booking System with Responsive Support and Some Workflow Gaps
Overall, I’m very happy with Xola. The platform is highly customizable, easy to use, and the customer support team consistently responds quickly. Having worked with other booking systems like OPERA and Mindbody Online, this one stands out as my preferred choice. I especially appreciate how simple it is to customize listings and define specific details, which makes the system suitable for a wide range of business types. There are a few areas that could be improved, such as editing bookings that use split payments, which currently requires canceling and rebooking. Manually entering the number of guests would also save time compared to adjusting each guest individually. Additionally, better organization and filtering in the purchases tab would improve usability. I’ve also noticed an occasional data display glitch with duplicate email fields in bookings.

A Game-Changing Booking System That Simplified Our Entire Operation
There are so many positives to mention, but moving our old system to XOLA truly stands out. After years of discussion, making the switch was absolutely worth it and even helped me impress my boss. Integrating bookings through our WordPress site has made our busiest season far more manageable and significantly reduced day-to-day stress for the team. The 24/7 support is outstanding—knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly helpful, even when jumping into the platform without reviewing documentation. The software is very intuitive, allowing issues to be resolved quickly with minimal disruption.
