What is a Booking Engine? A booking engine is piece of software that can serve as a website or be implemented on your own website with which you can receive direct bookings. An Online Booking Engine is also known as a hotel booking module or online booking system. The most important advantage of a booking engine is that it helps you receive more direct bookings, and these are bookings for which you do not have to pay commission costs. Do you still work with an 'old-fashioned' contact form on a website? Or should potential customers call and ask if there is still a room available? With our booking module that is a thing of the past! Thanks to our powerful booking engine you can continue to do your work, while customers can reserve a room without assistance. No phone calls, no requests by mail, just direct bookings without commission costs. When a booking is made on your website, it will also update the availability on the OTA's.

Benefits of a Booking Engine Why is it important to use a hotel Booking Engine? Visitors of your website (so potential guests) want to know immediately whether a room is available or not, or they might be looking for more information, or a lower price. On Booking.com, for example, if you look at a property, you can immediately see which rooms are available on the desired dates. From there you immediately have the option to book the hotel room. Why would a visitor still call or email to ask if a hotel room is still available? Of course you can present the hotel room offer on Booking.com or Expedia, however you will pay 15% to 20% commission on these bookings. When you get direct bookings, you do not have to give away that commission.  With the Hotel Software and online booking engine from RoomRaccoon you can present the same offer, or even a lower rate on your own site. Visitors can then directly book a room on the dates they have selected.

 

 

How does our online Booking Engine work? You can actually see a hotel Booking Engine as a separate webpage that shows the room availability of your hotel or bed & breakfast. Thanks to this page you can get up to 27% more direct bookings. This portal is linked to the Property Management System and can be opened via a URL or a nice call to action button from your website. You can completely customise the page of the booking engine to fit your brand. Easily and quickly add the logo of your accommodation and adjust the colours as you wish. Add photos of your rooms in and guests have everything they need. It is also possible to link the online booking engine to your Google My Business page of your hotel or link it directly to your Facebook page.

Package deals Within the Property Management System it is possible to create special package deals. These can be made bookable in the hotel Booking Engine. This is a smart tactic to achieve more direct bookings. For example, you can combine an overnight stay with a three-course dinner or a delicious wine package. Do you have problems with different VAT rates within a package? No problem, with RoomRaccoon you can adjust these rates per part. Within our Booking System you can also work with extras, for example a bottle of MCC, a parking space, breakfast in bed or booking a baby bed. Potential guests can book these extras directly, and you don't have to rely on the upselling skills of front-desk staff. Many of our clients have significantly increased their revenue per available room by setting up this feature.
