A booking engine is an online tool that lets guests book rooms directly with your property. Guests visit your website to check availability and make their own reservations—no extra work is required from you or your staff.
Best of all, Sirvoy’s booking engine is commission-free, so you keep the full amount of each booking
How Does a Booking Engine Work?
A booking engine shows available rooms, prices, and extras like breakfast or tours. Each item has a name, description, images, amenities, and more. It can also offer rooms by categories, connect to Google Analytics, and sync with other booking channels connected through Sirvoy, keeping your availability up-to-date across the internet.
But there's no better way to grasp its potential than to see it in action. Here’s an example of a Sirvoy booking engine at work:
