1. 5/5Texaska Pool and Pavilion

   From the moment we decided to give Swimply a try, our experience has been nothing short of fantastic. The setup process was straightforward and user-friendly, allowing us to dive right into what Swimply offers without any hassle. Navigating through the app was an absolute breeze. The interface is intuitive, making it easy for us to find exactly what we were looking for. Whether it was exploring available pools in our area or understanding the booking process, everything was laid out clearly and was just a few taps away. What stood out to us was not just the ease of use but also the quality of options available. We had access to a variety of pools, each with detailed descriptions and photos that accurately represented what we could expect. This transparency and accuracy in listings contributed significantly to our confidence in using the app. Booking a pool was as simple as selecting our preferred option, choosing a time, and confirming our reservation. The payment process was secure and seamless, adding to the overall stress-free experience. The hosts we interacted with were welcoming and provided clear instructions, making our pool time enjoyable and relaxing. In conclusion, Swimply has exceeded our expectations in every aspect. Its user-friendly design, combined with a smooth setup and booking process, has provided us with great value and a delightful experience. We highly recommend Swimply to anyone looking to enjoy some leisure time by the pool without the commitment of owning one. It's a fantastic service that has brought us joy and relaxation, and we look forward to using it again in the future.

2. 4/5Great idea—missing important information

   I have yet to book but I think this is a brilliant idea. However, I have a couple of reservations (no pun intended 🙃) 1. I don’t see a way or a process for connecting with the owner prior to paying. How do I know what to do? Do we just show up? Do I go to the front door or is there a side/back gate or entrance? What are the rules? Can we bring snacks? So on and so forth. It seems awkward to just show up at someone’s house and haven’t spoken with them or at least emailed with them about expectations and general info. I think there should be a tutorial or steps listed for how this all works and what to expect. Perhaps all of this comes after booking but I’m very hesitant to put in my payment information without knowing fully what to expect and to what I’m committing. Quite honestly, I was ready to book today but when the payment screen came up so fast (no information about arriving, the pool itself, communication with the homeowner, etc.), I was turned off and decided not to book. I just need more information before paying. 2. It would be extremely helpful to have details of each pool listed. How deep is it? Is the depth gradual or is it-let’s say-5ft all the way around? I’d think this type of information would be tremendously helpful to families in making decisions about which pools fit their needs.

3. 1/5Swimply

   I’m blown away how fast money is taken off your debit card and as soon as it did all the things besides the pool that were shown in the picture started to cost me more!! some per hour like to use the chairs it’s $25 more an hour. Or the grill is $50 more an hour or whatever and even to watch the TV they have set out there by the pool. It’s $100 if I got to pay $25 an hour to sit somewhere in somebody’s chair you’re ridiculous! And the second worst part is as soon as I paid my money (it went through quick on my card.) That’s the only thing that went through quick. The guy who was hosting the pool tripled the rate right after I paid for it! No, he won’t return my message and he asked for me to get back with him ASAP for what so we won’t answer me?! This is ridiculous. This could’ve been a good thing, but it’s not. I reserved this pole for my grandkids to have a before school bash. End of summer thing but now it’s ruined their upset I’m upset! Bad business procedures now I just need to get my money back so I can figure out what else I can do with them at last minute! Enough through it all I have to fight to get my money back that took off my card really quick before I was even given a reservation number or anything!!! And my reservation is still pending. This is a mess which I don’t need right now. I gave you one star which I feel like isn’t even deserving. All I wanted to do was have fun with my grandkids before they had to go back to school. Now it’s all Ruined!

4. 1/5Think twice about booking with Swimply

   I decided to try the app just to book a swimming pool in my area. After booking, and within minutes I realized I made a mistake since the fee was so high to book a pool for 2 hours. I cancelled right away and asked customer service if I could get reimbursed before they drafted the money. They told me the money had been drafted already. The app clearly stated that the money would not be taken out until the host would accept the booking and I would receive an email of acceptance from them. I had not received an email from the host therefore they LIED!! Spoke to customer service again and asked them how long before I would get my full reimbursement. They said 3-7 days. It took 4 days before I saw my money in the account minus a $36 service fee. A hidden fee that was not stated when I initially cancelled. If you decide to use Swimply to rent a pool do not back out. They do not reimburse your entire charge, especially if like myself you were not planning on using the app again and the $36 credit will only line their bottom line. Although this is a nice service for folks that may want access to a nice pool, it is completely UNETHICAL for a company to say they are providing a full refund and they do not mention anything about keeping a $36 processing fee as credit for the person that booked. BTW the company through customer service is very slow to respond but very quick to take your money!! Don’t fall to their trap!!

5. 1/5Bad experience with company

   I was trying to book my daughter’s 16 birthday party. First I booked a pool and it was never confirmed by the gentleman. I was waiting and waiting so that I could get the invitations out. I finally went ahead and canceled it because I never heard from him. It showed the pool was available and he had another booking that morning so I knew he was going to be home. Then I booked another pool at a different location and that was accepted and I paid for the pool. I sent out the invitations and with an hours got a message saying that the pool owner was having to cancel because she couldn’t get the top off her pool and asked me if I wanted a credit towards my next reservation and I said yes. It sent me a link directly to book my third attempt at a pool. I booked the pool and we ended up having a great time. It worked out. It was very stressful though. Next thing I knew they charged my card again. They didn’t use my credit. I asked for a refund. They told me it was too late. They said it was my fault for not using the credit. I feel like it should be automatically applied. It was very confusing and the fact that I’m requesting it back and they won’t give it to me as bad business. Especially with all the trouble I’ve been through. Now I’ve literally spent well over $600 for a two hour birthday party. Granted I have a $300 credit still but I don’t know when and if I’ll ever need that again and I really could use that money back in my account now. I’m very disappointed they wouldn’t work with me on this. Bad customer service.
