FAQs About Booking Engines
Accommodations that don’t offer a website booking tool miss out on revenue. These days, guests want to book online instantly. A site without a booking option is like a restaurant with a menu but no tables to sit at. Plus, attracting new guests is expensive, so it’s smart to use every sales channel available, including your own website. An internet booking engine keeps you from losing these guests to other platforms like OTAs (Online Travel Agencies).
With an online reservation system or reservation engine, a guest can:
- Select their dates and room type.
- View current prices and availability.
- Add extras or upgrades if desired.
- Pay securely online.
- Receive an automatic confirmation by email.
This system is connected to your Property Management System (PMS) or reservation software, so availability is always up-to-date, and double bookings are avoided.
- User-friendly interface: A clear, step-by-step process for quick and easy booking.
- Mobile responsive: Works seamlessly on smartphones and tablets.
- Online payments: Secure checkout with various payment options.

Benefits include:
- Less chance of errors and double bookings because all systems communicate with each other.

- Time savings and clarity: No more switching between multiple separate programs.
