Booking Engines simplify the process of managing room rates and inventory. Join us to discover the key aspects of Hotel Link Booking Engine.
What is a Booking Engine?
It is a piece of software that allows you to update your room inventory, rates, stop sales, promotions, offers, and more. You load all of your property into one place, then the tool helps make it easy for potential guests to book your property both directly or via a third-party distributor like an OTA.
What does a Booking Engine do?
With this tool, you can easily and instantly make updates to your accommodation room information. With just a few clicks you can make updates to your room types, images, descriptions, bed configurations, rate plans, and much more.
It also provides all the management tools for hotels to optimise occupancy and revenue levels.
From a potential guest’s point of view, your Booking Engine should make it easy for them to securely book the room and extras that they want to be included for their stay. It should also have clear booking conditions and cancellation policies.
