FAQ

What is a hotel booking engine?

A hotel booking engine is a technological tool that allows establishments to efficiently manage and process online reservations. This system is integrated into the hotel's website and provides an interface where users can check room availability, consult rates and make reservations in real time.

The main objective of a booking engine is to facilitate the reservation process for both the client and the hotel, optimizing management and maximizing direct sales.

How does a booking engine work?

The operation of a booking engine is based on the integration of several functionalities. Users access the system through the hotel's website, enter their travel dates and preferences (number of people, destination or hotel, if there is more than one), and the booking engine shows them the available options.

Once the room is selected and the required information is completed, the system processes the payment and sends a confirmation to both the client and the hotel. In addition, the booking engine connects with the hotel management system (PMS) to update room availability in real time and avoid overbooking or overbooking situations.

What are the advantages of a booking engine?

First, it facilitates a faster and more convenient booking process for customers, which increases the conversion rate. It also allows the hotel to generate direct bookings, reducing dependence on intermediaries or third parties, and therefore lowering commissions. In addition, an efficient booking engine can be integrated with other marketing and analytics tools, providing valuable data to improve the hotel's commercial strategy.
