What is a booking engine in a hotel?

A hotel booking engine is basically a software that helps hotels get more direct bookings from their website. It’s like having your own personal online travel agent right on your website. It can show guests the different rooms and packages you offer and let them book directly with you. This way, you don’t have to rely as much on third-party sites like booking.com or Expedia to get reservations.

What is the importance of online booking engines?

Online booking engines are essential for modern hotels because they increase visibility, provide convenience and save time, offer 24/7 availability, and collect valuable customer data. You don’t pay commission to any third party either!

Why do I need a hotel booking engine?

A hotel booking engine is necessary to streamline reservations, increase revenue, save time, access customer data, control pricing and availability, and improve the customer experience.

Why is Preno the best Booking Engine?

Preno’s booking engine stands out for its user-friendly interface, customizable branding, integrated payment gateways, channel manager, real-time reporting and analytics, and multi-language and multi-currency support.

What’s the difference between a booking engine and Expedia & Booking.com?

A booking engine is a direct booking tool owned by the hotel, while Expedia is an external third-party platform. The main differences are ownership, control, and handling of reservation and payment processes.

How to put a booking engine on my website?

Preno’s booking engine on your hotel website is a straightforward process that involves signing up for a Preno account, configuring the booking engine to match your branding and messaging, copying the provided embed code, and testing and launching the booking engine on your site. Preno offers a customisable booking engine that can be tailored to your hotel’s unique needs and provides support and resources to help you through the process. By embedding Preno’s booking engine on your website, you can streamline the booking process, increase direct bookings, and improve the overall customer experience.

What’s the difference between a booking engine and Airbnb?

OTAs charge commission fees ranging from 10% to 25% of the booking price, while direct booking channels on a hotel’s website eliminate these fees, allowing hotels to keep a larger percentage of revenue. Direct booking channels also provide more control over pricing, availability, and customer data, allowing hotels to adjust rates and tailor marketing strategies accordingly.
