Why pay the OTA for a guest who is already looking for you? The booking engine lets guests choose dates, compare rooms, add extras and pay on your own website. The reservation goes straight into the PMS.
How it works
The guest books directly on your website and the reservation flows into your workflow on its own, with no OTA commission.
The guest chooses dates, occupancy and rooms on your own website, with their promo code.
The guest sees the best price of the month, packs, the multi-hotel map and extras before deciding.
Collect a deposit or the full amount with Monei, Redsys or Paycomet and the reservation goes directly to the planning.
Moment 01 · Search
Dates, occupancy and rooms in a single search. The guest books several rooms at the same time, with guests per room and their promo code, on your own website.
Moment 02 · Decision
List, grid and map help you decide without leaving your website. The same link can show several hotels on the map, each with its own price. And if the exact date does not fit, the engine proposes packs on nearby dates.
Moment 03 · Price
The calendar marks the best price of the month, warns when there are few rooms left and shows sold-out days, with the price per night clear before booking.
Moment 04 · Upsell
In the extras step, the guest filters by category, chooses the quantity and adds it before paying. Each extra shows its price per day, per person or per reservation according to your catalog. The total updates instantly. A higher booking value without adding manual work.
Moment 05 · Payment
The payment screen guides the guest step by step: details, document and international phone number with anti-spam protection. It works out whether to charge the deposit or the full amount according to your policy and charges by card through Monei, Redsys or Paycomet.
Moment 06 · Measurement
The reservation enters directly into your PMS, ready to manage like any other. And you know which campaigns, rooms and extras bring you the most reservations, connected to your web analytics.
Moment 07 · On your website
The embeddable widget displays the search box inside your own page, with your colors and your language. The guest chooses dates, applies their promo code and the booking engine opens ready to book.
What stops hurting in direct sales
The usual questions about direct sales, answered by an engine connected to your PMS. No contact forms in disguise.
Commission
“Why do I pay commission for my own website?”
The reservation goes straight into the PMS, tagged as a direct sale. No OTA in between.
Payment
“Can I charge a deposit instead of the full amount?”
The engine calculates the amount from your cancellation policy and how far in advance the guest books, and collects it online.
Availability
“What if there is no availability on those dates?”
Instead of a dead end, it suggests nearby alternative dates and packs on close dates.
Multi-hotel
“Can I sell my two hotels together?”
The same link shows several properties, with a map and the lowest price per hotel.
Measurement
“Which campaign brought me this reservation?”
Each confirmed reservation reaches your web analytics with the amount, rooms and extras sold.
New module · Arriving this fall
Is the spa only sold when someone asks at reception? This fall the engine adds activities and services: the guest will book a stay and an activity in the same payment, buy only the activity without staying, or upgrade a stay they already have from the WebApp.
A single cart and a single payment: the room and the thermal circuit enter the PMS together, as one more reservation.
Spa, dinners or excursions for non-resident customers, with spots per time slot and online payment.
With the reservation already made, the guest adds activities from the WebApp throughout the stay.
Rates
Room Only, Breakfast or Half Board in an accordion. The “Best price” badge highlights the cheapest rate without reception having to explain it.
Alternatives
When the search does not fit, the blue banner shows packs available on nearby dates, with a one-click option to adjust the dates.
Multi-room
The guest chooses occupancy per room and sees the progress “1 of 2 rooms selected” before continuing to payment.
Promotion
The “I have a promotional code” link displays the field, validates VERANO10 and applies the discount before searching.
Confirmation
After payment, the stepper reaches “Booking confirmation” with the success message and the booking reference ready for the guest.
An OTA-grade engine
It is not a contact form in disguise. It is an engine with a price calendar, multi-hotel map, packs, extras, online payment and widget for your website, connected to your PMS.
We switched on the booking engine and within a few weeks we started to see the difference: more direct bookings and less reliance on OTAs.
