> **Alexander** | *6 September 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Es ist einfach Genial \!\!\! Das Geld was für Strom und Wasser zuviel abgezogen wurd, kommt sofort bzw. erscheint 2 Tage später wieder auf dem Konto.
> 
> **Cons**: Alles war zur vollsten Zufriedenheit. Einchecken vom Handy aus im Stau. Angefahren. Easy
> 
> Einfach, und es funktioniert\! Wie oben schon geschrieben,  dem ist nichts mehr hinzuzufügen.

### "Wohnmobilhafen Elbepark Bunthaus" — 4.0/5

> **Angela** | *30 November 2022* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Die individuelle Anpassung an unseren work flow und die persönliche Beratung mit work shop.
> 
> **Cons**: Alles digital- ich hoffe die Flexibilität und das spontane Agieren zu Gunsten des Kundenservices bleibt.
> 
> All in Lösung für Buchungen.

### "Eine Software, die einfach funktioniert." — 5.0/5

> **Marc** | *24 November 2022* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10

> **Pros**: Unkompliziertheit, Kunden orientiert, Einfache Anwendung

### "Erfahrungen vom HaffCamp Boiensdorfer Werder mit Dierst" — 5.0/5

> **Laura** | *10 June 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Das der ganze Buchungsprozess vom Gast gemacht werden kann ohne Probleme. Die Abbrechnung erfolgt vollständig automatisch. Wenn es Probleme gibt hat man immer einen Ansprechpartner und kein Callcenter.
> 
> **Cons**: Das sind Kleinigkeiten und auch unsere Betriebsbedingten Befindlichkeiten. Aber auch für die ist Direst bereit Lösungen zu finden.Sodass es für uns keinen nennenswerten Nachteil gibt.
> 
> Es ist sehr nahe an der Zeit. Es ist auf Digitalisierung ausgelegt und das man weniger Personal benötigt. Was gerade in unserem ländlichen Raum nicht immer einfach zu bekommen ist. Es ist transparent und jeder kann schnell mit dem System Arbeiten, da vielen Dinge selbsterklärend sind. Auch wenn mal etwas hakt ist der Support immer erreichbar und auch bemüht schnell Abhilfe zu finden.
Long Story short\! 
Es spart Zeit und damit Geld und der Gast hat einen hohen Komfort, weil Wartezeiten und Anmeldung vor Ort nicht notwendig sind und er hat die Kontrolle über seine Buchung zu jeder Zeit.

### "Ein komfortables Buchungssystem für Wohnmobilstellplätze und Campingplätze" — 5.0/5

> **Ulrich** | *12 June 2026* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Am besten ist die flexibilität und die autarkie des Systems. Durch die Vorbuchungsmöglichkeit über unsere Webseite sind unsere Übernachtungszahlen um bis zu 40% gestiegen.
> 
> **Cons**: Nach über einem Jahr Betrieb mit dem System sind keine Nachteile aufgefallen.
Das System überzeugt da der Kunde von allen Geräten auf die Buchungsapp zugreifen kann.
> 
> Ein super menschlicher Kontakt mit Herrn Wolf spricht auch für das bedienerfreundliche und kundenfreundliche System. Fehler werden schnellstens behoben. Lobenswert ist die einfache Einstellung von Sperrzeiten, gerade beim uns im Hochwasserbereich.
