About the OneBookingOnline Service

What is included in the OneBookingOnline platform?

OneBookingOnline provides an easy to use integrated platform that includes hotel website design and content management, an impact website design, a best-in-class dynamic booking engine, a full-featured reservations platform and a customer engagement platform.

What do I get from the OneBookingOnline service?

OneBookingOnline will provide you with a brand new website that captures the look and feel of your hotel and maximizes online visibility, a one-click booking engine that allows your guests to have a fluid shopping experience, increase conversion rates and increase revenue-per-stay. Also you will be provided with a reservation platform that will help you not only manage your online reservation but also your offline reservations, lastly the new customer engagement platform allows you to easily expand your property’s brand with the use of viral marketing strategies and at the same time engage social networking customers by making them feel special.

Is OneBookingOnline like Expedia, Orbitz, Booking or LastMinute?

No. Internet Distribution Systems like Expedia, Orbitz, etc. work like a multi-brand discount store, i.e. they distribute many hotels on their store, providing great visibility and significant volumes of reservations. However, on those stores you will be competing for the travelers’ attention with other hotels. OneBookingOnline is the only online provider that gives your own branded specialty store on the Internet where you have full control over the content, inventory and pricing.

I have a very small marketing budget. Can I really compete for visitors attention?

Leading market analysts eMarketer and Phocuswright unequivocally identified a trend that travelers increasingly want to book directly with the suppliers as opposed to distribution sites. This is a significant opportunity for independent properties as you can benefit from improved business margins if you can increase your direct business by just few percentage points.

Most of our reservations are made via phone and fax. Why would I want your system?

OneBookingOnline’s reservation platform offers you easy ways to control your online and offline reservations by providing real-time availability to all your inquiries. The system also stores your guests’ contact details and preferences so that if a returning guest checks in, you can add an extra personal touch by remembering their previous requests.

Managing Room Inventory

What can I do in terms of room inventory?

OneBookingOnline’s integrated platform provides the ability to sell several offers online and offline based on the same physical inventory. This way you don’t have to worry about allotments for promotions or premium room types as they all automatically refer back to the same physical room inventory in the hotel. It is a set-and-forget system where in no time you can set up your inventory and seasonal pricing.

All our rooms are unique – we do not have specific room types. Is that compatible with your booking system?

You can create as many room types as you want in OneBookingOnline’s reservation platform, each room can have an individual description and picture so your visitors get the feel of the hotel when they book online.

I have some rooms where children are not allowed. How can I make sure no guests with children reserve those rooms with your booking system?

When you create a room you will have the option to set the number of adults and children per room. If you set the number of children to zero, that room automatically becomes unavailable for guests checking in with children.

Can your system filter rooms according to whether or not the guests are checking in with a pet?

All reservations have a place for additional notes. Guests can specify pets in those. If you do or don’t allow pets, you can specify the information in the terms and conditions on your website, guests need to confirm that they read the terms and conditions before being able to make an online reservation.

Credit cards, payments and invoicing

We do not accept credit cards as a payment method. Can I still use your booking engine?

Does your system charge my guests’ credit cards?

No. It instantly validates them and stores the information for security reasons.

Does your backend system allow me to give my guests a bill or invoice ?
