After switching to our booking system, you will use the Booking Engine for online reservations. This article provides a quick overview of several features and options available within the system.
Booking engine for online reservations
The booking engine helps guests quickly find suitable accommodation, such as a holiday home, room or camping pitch. Available accommodations are displayed in a clear overview and can be filtered based on relevant criteria.
Available options include:
searching by arrival and departure date and number of guests;
filtering by accommodation category, package or location;
filtering by facilities and amenities;
displaying rates, guest reviews and key features;
detailed accommodation pages;
a user-friendly experience on mobile devices.
Filter by facilities and amenities
Guests can search for accommodations based on facilities that are important to their stay, such as pet-friendly accommodation or air conditioning. By correctly configuring the relevant facilities for each accommodation, you can help guests find a stay that matches their preferences more quickly.

Display guest reviews
Guest reviews help potential guests choose the right accommodation. Reviews can be displayed in the Booking Engine and on individual accommodation pages.
After departure, guests can automatically receive an email asking them to leave a review. Reviews can also be displayed on your website using a widget. Read more in our article about Reviews
.
Search and book accommodations on a map
Do you offer accommodations across multiple locations? You can add address details and coordinates to each accommodation. This allows your accommodations to be displayed on a map, where guests can find a location and continue with their booking.
This feature is particularly useful for holiday parks and rental companies with accommodations spread across different villages, cities or regions. Read more in our article about Set up booking on the map with Google Maps.
Reservations through external booking channels
With the Channel Manager, accommodations can be connected to external booking channels such as Booking.com, depending on your package and the integrations available. This allows you to manage reservations from different sales channels centrally within the booking system.
Owner portal for rental companies
Do you work with private accommodation owners? You can link owners to accommodations and provide access to a dedicated owner portal. Here, owners can view relevant information and, depending on your settings, create reservations themselves.
More features within the booking system
In addition to the features above, our booking system offers further options for managing accommodations and reservations. These include group reservations, automated pre-arrival emails and task management for activities such as housekeeping and maintenance.
