Websites can be built with integrated automated reservation systems

For this client the website development included an automated reservation system for booking vacation rentals.  Many of you might be familiar with Airbnb, TripAdvisor or Expedia, which allow travelers to book through those websites for vacation rentals.  If you have a vacation rental to rent out and would like your consumer to book directly from you (to save you both some charges from the other companies!) there are ways All Tech Marketing can help!

Eliminate over-booking

or double booking

For a “STR” Short Term Rental, or vacation rental owner or property manager, nothing is probably more terrifying than overbookings. Although capturing as many bookings as possible and filling your vacation rental’s occupancy calendar may be your ultimate goal, using several websites to advertise your rentals could lead to what is commonly known as vacation rental overbooking. You definitely would like to list your property(ies) on every booking platform to maximize your business exposure, but keeping an eye on each and every one of these platforms in order not to make a mistake is a very stressful and a time-consuming job. 

Each of the popular booking sites have specific rules and policies for this situation: 

  • Airbnb makes you pay a host cancellation fee, puts an automated public review on your profile, keeps you from renting out the same dates after the cancellation, and you will not be able to be in the superhost status for a year.
  • Booking will not charge you a host cancellation fee, but you will need to find another place for the guests to stay, pay the difference of cost, pay for the transportation, and you will also get a low review as punishment.
  • With Expedia and Homeaway, you will get a low review score that will affect your visibility and exposure on the websites, and you will not get as many bookings as before. Also, they will charge you for the guests’ relocation cost.
  • On TripAdvisor, you will not be able to cancel a booking before you pay for the cancellation fee. You will also be automatically rated with less visibility as a consequence.
