FAQs

What is hotel booking software and how does it benefit my hotel?

A hotel booking engine is hotel software that allows guests to make online reservations at a hotel or other type of property. It’s integrated with the rest of the property management system (PMS) so that it shows real-time room availability and rates. At its most basic level, booking engine software lets guests input their dates of arrival and departure and number of guests and then displays the available rooms for the guest to make their selection and complete their booking.

A good booking engine can make the reservation process efficient and can drive both direct bookings and additional revenue through upsells.

How can a hotel booking engine increase revenue?

Booking engine software can have a profound impact on your revenue by allowing guests to book directly on your website, bypassing online travel agencies (OTAs) and therefore giving you a way to save on fees and reduce costs. Direct bookings also give you the freedom to offer exclusive rates to guests, which can improve loyalty and lifetime value. Mews booking engine software also lets you add upsells and cross-sells during booking which can have a drastic impact on your ancillary revenue.

Can guests use this software to reserve parking spots and meeting rooms?

At Mews, we know your hotel is more than beds. And, we recognize that guests often want the peace of mind and simplicity that goes with reserving parking spots and meeting rooms at the same time as they book their overnight accommodation. That’s why our booking engine can be used for other spaces around your property. Mews Booking Engine lets you add parking spaces to room bookings as an upsell option, and you can even use the booking engine for people to reserve meeting rooms by the hour or day too.

Can Mews Booking Engine be customized with my hotel photos?

Absolutely. Your brand is your signature, and we encourage you to not only let your brand shine through while guests are making a booking, but we also want to give you the tools to help guests see exactly what they’ll be getting. You can add your own photos and colors to the booking calendar and upload up to 10 images of a room or space – although, we recommend you keep it to 4-6 images to keep guests from getting distracted during the booking process.
