Improved BookNow

Hi! I just recently came across Myallocator and I love what you guys are doing.

The only thing holding me back right now is the BookNow booking engine.

It's not something I would want to put on my website.

Do you have any intentions to do some improvements on it? Would be great if we could add photos of rooms in the booking engine, add extras like flowers, fruit basket, etc...

The CSS managment is nice. I would however recommend that it would be an input field instead of an upload process.

I would also request that the fields the booking engine requires are:

Check-in date:

Check-out date:

Number of Adults:

Maybe add number of nights so people have the chance to choose a date or let it be calculated.

After that the engine would automatically display all available units with pictures and extra options available for those dates.

The guest can then choose which and how many rooms to book.

PS: I love that you guys do credit card storage and PCI compliance! Big thumbs up!

Keep up the good work

Best regards

Tom

Hello Tom!

As you mentioned, our free BookNow widget has some nice features, including the following:

  1. No Commissions, ever!
  2. Some degree of customization
  3. Free Facebook and website integration
  4. Did I mention it's FREE?

But in total seriousness, we recognize that the BookNow widget has its limitations. Because of those reasons, we do allow our customers to integrate with other booking engines that may serve their needs at a higher level.

Our best recommendation is to review the Cloudbeds booking engine called Mybookings. You can find out more information about it here, as well as setting up a Demo Request:

Cheers to more reservations and happier guests with Cloudbeds!
