### 5/5 — Beautiful app

*2024-11-14, version 4.1.0*

This is a huge improvement on the old SLH app.   Can log into my SLH Club account and see my past and future stays.  Spoilt for choice for my next trip 🙂

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2022-04-28, version 3.9.3*

Would be a great app if you could log in, see your bookings etc.

### 2/5 — Login?

*2019-07-20, version 3.9.3*

No way to log in once app is downloaded. Hmmm....

### 2/5 — Need to be able to simply log in with your loyalty number

*2019-06-02*

Doh!

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2018-12-16, version 3.9.3*

Utterly pointless

### 1/5 — Still no members login

*2018-11-16, version 3.9.2*

As has been said before, members cannot log in from here

### 1/5 — Ongoing issue!

*2018-11-14, version 3.9.2*

Same as other reviewers. If your already a member you can’t log in. Makes the whole thing pretty pointless!

### 1/5 — need update

*2018-07-17, version 3.9.2*

please update！
its user unfriendly

### 1/5 — Hello, is this thing on?

*2018-07-04, version 3.9.2*

The app needs a lot of work, and a quick flick through the version history shows you how much (or little) love the developers give it, with sporadic updates often years apart. 

I can search for and book a room, and I can sign up to their membership, but I can’t log into my account. SLH don’t offer membership cards, but you are expected to remember some long, random number. It seems like it’d be pretty easy to offer a digital membership card that could be added to Apple Wallet with all the pertinent details. 

The layout and design of the app needs a lot of work. It’s sluggish and overcrowded in places.

### 1/5 — No Slh Invited ‘login’??? Poor functionality

*2018-06-04, version 3.9.2*

As a member of Invited already - surely you should be able to log into your account via the App -but no, only gives you option to ‘join’ - then tells you that you are a member and points you back to main Slh website!!!!!
Basic functionality missing - sad as have stayed at many (many) Slh places around the world and they are being seriously let down by this App. A quick fix would vastly improve experience.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-12-31*

Kept getting kicked off when making reservations

### 1/5 — Not So Luxury ?

*2024-03-23, version 3.9.3*

Why won’t anyone put money to revamp and maintain the digital side of this brand ? So left behind.

### 1/5 — No longer working?

*2024-02-13*

Haven’t been able to open it for weeks. “Service is temporarily unavailable…”

### 1/5 — More bugs than their beds

*2024-01-20, version 3.9.3*

App is down for days. 
Even when it’s working it’s poor functionality and complexity - just marketing and offers.

### 1/5 — A waste

*2023-10-20*

No option to log in or retrieve a booking

### 1/5 — Rubbish apps

*2022-09-13, version 3.9.3*

Does not allow you to login. Very difficult to book rooms on the apps.
A real let down for the hotels.
As previous reviewer said fix your app and make it user friendly.

### 1/5 — Cannot open App.

*2020-08-17, version 3.9.3*

Cannot open App.

### 1/5 — Very poor

*2020-04-01, version 3.9.3*

What a terrible user experience and design. Almost an example of a company needing an app and just creating the bare minimum to tick the box. 
I am an invited member but just use the website was the app designed by a 5 year old ?

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-09-11, version 3.9.3*

Can’t log in. Looks a good site but useless if you can’t log in to it and see your bookings etc?

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2019-05-26, version 3.9.3*

Ridiculous app that doesn’t allow you to login as an ‘invited’ member.... so who is this aimed at then? Waste of time.
