What gets in the way for a hotel
Reliance on online travel agencies
Online agencies bring reach, and take a commission on every stay. Each guest who books direct, from your website or your Google listing, keeps that margin with you.
A “Book” button that sends guests elsewhere
Many independent hotels have no booking engine on their site: the guest who wanted to book direct ends up on an agency site.
One room inventory on several channels
Six doubles and two suites sold on three sites: the last room sold anywhere has to disappear everywhere.
Business travellers and regulars
They come back, know the hotel and do not need a comparison site. They just need a simple link to book.
How it works with Voxtya
- Create your room types. Standard double, superior double, family suite: for each type, capacity, how many rooms of that type, a description and an indicative nightly price.
- Set your rules. Check-in and check-out times, minimum and maximum nights, closing dates, how far ahead guests can book. A guest can book up to 5 rooms of one type.
- Connect your calendars. For each type, Voxtya reads up to 5 iCal calendars (Booking.com, Airbnb, Vrbo…) every hour: each calendar blocks one room of the type, night by night. Your Voxtya iCal links block nights sold direct in return.
- Guests book direct. Dates, room type, adults and children: only available nights are offered. Automatic or manual confirmation, reminder the day before arrival.
- Put the link everywhere. On your Google listing, your website, your confirmation emails and social media. After the stay, the Review collection service can send the Google review request.
Try the example
