What is Hotel reservation software?
Guests book via your own site, via Booking and Expedia and by phone interchangeably, and expect current availability everywhere. Hotel reservation software brings those bookings together and keeps availability and rates in real-time sync, so you prevent overbookings and win more direct bookings.
Unlike a loose diary, reservation software works with real-time availability, a booking engine on your site, a channel manager and rate management.
Key features of hotel reservation software
- Bookings from all channels together
- Real-time availability and rates
- Booking engine on your own site
- Channel manager to OTAs
- Confirmations and prepayments
In hospitality, a double booking or stock-out is lost revenue and a bad review. Good software keeps availability in sync and drives direct bookings, so you book more and at lower commission. When comparing, what matters is channel sync, the direct booking engine and rate management.
What to look for when choosing hotel reservation software
- whether it syncs in real time with your channels
- references from comparable hotels or accommodations
- a strong direct booking engine
- link with your PMS and payment provider
- implementation time, training and vendor support
Switching software touches your guests and your revenue at once. Selecting sharply up front on the features, integrations and usability that matter to you prevents a costly misstep.
