FAQs About Hotel Booking Engines and Room Reservation Software
What is a hotel booking engine?
A hotel booking engine is software integrated into a hotel’s website that allows guests to check real-time availability and pricing and book rooms directly with the property online. It functions as an automated, secure reservation system.
Why is a direct hotel booking engine important?
A direct hotel booking engine is crucial because it enables hotels to capture commission-free bookings, increasing profitability. It also allows hotels to own the guest relationship, control branding, offer personalized deals, and gather valuable guest data directly.
Is WebRezPro's hotel booking engine commission-free?
Yes, absolutely. WebRezPro provides a completely commission-free room reservation software, meaning you keep 100% of the revenue from bookings made directly through your website via our engine.
How does WebRezPro's booking engine integrate with the PMS?
WebRezPro’s booking engine is fully integrated with our Property Management System (PMS). This means rates, availability, and inventory are updated in real-time across both systems. When a booking is made online, it instantly appears in the PMS, preventing double bookings and ensuring data accuracy.
What is the difference between a hotel booking engine and room reservation software?
The terms are often used interchangeably in the context of hotel websites. A hotel booking engine (also called online or website booking engine) is the guest-facing tool for making reservations online. Room reservation software can refer to the booking engine itself or the broader system (including PMS integration) that manages the entire reservation process, inventory, and guest data. WebRezPro provides both the guest-facing engine and the integrated back-end management system.
What about ADA compliance?
WebRezPro’s room reservation software helps you comply with accessibility guidelines.
- ALT text for images. ALT text can be added to every image, describing what is shown so that images can be “read” by text-to-speech screen readers for people who are visually impaired.
- Accessible units. The booking engine can return “accessible” units within room search results even if they are not available (with a note stating the unit is unavailable). This helps alert prospective guests that your property offers accessible rooms in case they may want to adjust their dates.
While ADA compliance standards are still being defined, WebRezPro aligns with current recommended guidelines to help properties ensure they are accessible to all prospective guests.
