Adding a new property or updating an existing property is simple: just login as an owner, and see all your properties and bookings all in one place. Take advantage of our “Top Deals and Specials”; add a google map to your listing; you can even run your own website (or plug the booking engine into your existing website if you prefer - at no extra cost - it’s easy ). You maintain complete control – block certain dates if you need to, change rates according to peak seasons and premium events and see it live, immediately, on your property page. This is an amazing, industrial-strength product – you will simply be amazed at the flexibility it offers. You can even up-sell by offering packages and optional extras, such as VIP welcome packs, optional car hire, and tours. Ask us how – it really is easy!
Instant Confirmation Bookings
More and more, guests want to look, book, and pay online, all in one easy secure transaction. With our instant confirmation bookings, your guests will love the ease with which they can check availability, pricing and book instantly online. Instant confirmation saves them sending off countless emails and having to wait for owners to get back to them – so they certainly won’t be tempted to book elsewhere. Instant confirmation means clients can see immediately if the dates they want are available, and book them straight up, right there. If you have bookings from other sites, you can easily block these dates in your calendar, or add them as owner bookings and manage all in your reservations in one place.
Deposit paid at the time of booking
No longer do you need to chase your guests for deposits, or hold a booking open for 3 days and continuously check your bank account to see if they’ve paid (and then try and match the payments up against the bookings!). With our instant confirmation online booking system, the guest is required to pay the deposit at the time of booking. The deposit can be whatever you specify – from 10% up to 100%. PLUS you can set different deposit requirements for last minute bookings – for example, you might want to charge 20% deposit for normal bookings, and 100% for arrivals within 2 weeks. The deposit payment is processed using our our secure credit card processing facilities and transferred to your nominated bank account less our commission when the guest pays; *not* 6 weeks after they have stayed!
