Will the UK Booking.com / Airbnb listings stay live?

Yes. Your OTA listings live on the OTAs, not on eviivo. Channel-manager APIs let either PMS push availability and rates. Migration re-authorises each OTA in Aura — listings remain searchable, existing bookings flow in.

Does Aura handle UK VAT correctly?

Yes. Aura's tax stacking handles VAT, service charge, tourist taxes, and city taxes as separate, configurable line items, displayed individually on guest receipts and remittance reports. UK 20% VAT, reduced-rate accommodation VAT, and zero-rated bookings can all coexist on the same property.

What about my guest history and reviews?

Past guest profiles, stay history, and contact details import via CSV from eviivo's standard export. Reviews are held by the OTAs (Booking.com, Airbnb) and stay with your OTA listings, not the PMS.

Aura vs eviivo

Looking for an eviivo alternative?

Aura is the flat-fee PMS for any property type running on eviivo — B&Bs, guesthouses, boutique hotels, condo-hotels, multi-property groups. Modern UI, transparent pricing, no extra channel-manager bill.

From a single UK B&B to a 5-property group: if eviivo's pricing, support, or UI has worn thin, Aura covers your core operations at a published flat rate and scales with you.

Balanced view

What eviivo does well — and where Aura wins

eviivo is genuinely good at

Long-standing UK / Ireland presence

eviivo has been the default PMS for British B&Bs for years. Most directories, local listing sites, and trade-press articles know the product.

Comprehensive feature coverage

Channel management, booking engine, payments, guest messaging — eviivo's feature surface is broad and mature.

Where Aura is materially better

One flat fee covers everything

$12/property + $3/room/mo includes the channel manager, booking engine, payments, digital check-in, upsells, owner reporting. No separate channel-manager bill, no payment-processing surcharge.

Built for every property reality

Aura's design centre is independents — B&Bs, villas, boutique hotels, condo-hotels, multi-property groups, large independents. Same feature set for a single-room B&B as for a 200-room hotel; no plan tiers, no strip-down for solo operators, no enterprise gating.

Same OTA reach, modern infrastructure

Distribution to Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, Agoda + 280 more via the same channel-manager APIs eviivo uses. Sub-second page loads, mobile-responsive throughout.

Owner workflow built in

If you ever manage on behalf of owners or expand into a multi-property group, the per-unit attribution and owner-statement engine is already there.

Where eviivo commonly frustrates operators

Pricing complexity + add-on fees

Operators report that the headline price isn't what they pay; channel-manager subscription, payment-processing fees, and module add-ons stack. Total monthly cost commonly runs 40–80% above the advertised plan.

Support inconsistency

Recent reviews on G2, Capterra, and UK B&B forums cite slow response times and unresolved tickets more than older reviews — a frequent point of frustration.

Interface is dated

The dashboard predates the modern web stack. Operators describe lots of nested screens and slower-than-expected interactions.

No per-unit owner statements

If you manage rooms on behalf of separate owners (cottage clusters, serviced apartments with multiple proprietors), eviivo can't natively split revenue and produce per-owner statements.

Built into every Aura plan

Owner statements, automated.

Per-unit revenue attribution. Monthly statement generation. OTA commission deducted automatically, management fee applied, PDF + CSV per owner — emailed in one click.

The most-asked-for capability eviivo doesn't have, and the reason multi-property operators switch fastest.
