What is booking engine software in the hotel industry?
A booking engine (also known as IBE or Internet Booking Engine) is a software application used by lodging businesses to capture direct reservations anywhere a guest might be online. Typically integrated into a hotel’s website and social media channels, its primary function is to collect reservation and credit card information from guests and integrate this data with other hotel management software such as a PMS, channel manager or CRS.
Think of your hotel booking system as a bridge between potential guests and your property, facilitating a seamless user experience without the need for third-party intervention via online travel agencies (OTAs), GDSs, travel agencies, or online marketplaces.
How do modern booking engine systems work?
A modern booking engine offers guests real-time availability, secure payment processing, and instant confirmations, facilitating a seamless online shopping experience. It can be customized to fit your brand, cater to international audiences with multi-language and currency options, and offer add-ons or upsells to help you increase revenue.
Today, independent hotels can choose an integrated booking engine that seamlessly collects and sends reservation details and payment information to their property management system (PMS), channel manager, payment gateway, and more.
What counts as a commission-free booking?
A commission-free booking is any reservation made directly through your reservation system, where no additional fees are charged to the hotel to secure a booking. This means that when guests reserve a room, you don’t have to pay a percentage of the booking cost to a third party, such as travel agents, OTAs, or other external booking sites, which can range anywhere from 15-30%.
What data is included in hotel booking engine reports?
An integrated hotel booking engine has in-depth reporting capabilities since data is centralized from your PMS and channel manager. These reports can shed light on booking trends, conversion rates, average length of stay, and guest preferences, all in a user-friendly view to help guide decision-making.
How can I include upsells and add-ons on my booking engine?
Your booking engine can introduce guests to upsells in-house and with your partners that can enhance their stay and increase your overall revenue. Depending on your property type (ie. hotel, b&b, or hostel), you can offer upgrades like bike rentals, city tours, or wine tastings - all available at the point of booking, where guests can add on upsells and pay using methods such as debit or credit cards.
