The booking widget.

Four steps, no surprises.

Travel dates, rooms, personal details, summary. In each step the guest sees what they have chosen and what it costs. At the end there is a booking number, and the confirmation is on its way.

Adults and children are recorded per room, children with their age, because the price depends on it. You decide from which age someone counts as an adult.

Rooms, board, extras.

Each available room type shows pictures, description and the price for the chosen dates. The guest picks the board per room and, below, your extras: parking, dog, whatever you offer.

Extras are priced per booking, per night, per person or per person and night, as you set them up. Mandatory items come first and cannot be deselected, the tourist tax for instance.

Payment the way you handle it.

On site, deposit or full amount, by bank transfer or by card. You set which options the guest sees. Card payments run through your own account with the payment provider, straight to your bank account.

HANS recalculates the amount on the server before the card is charged. What the guest sees in the browser is never the basis for the charge. Optionally the widget offers travel cancellation insurance, and business guests enter their invoice address and recipient code right away.

After the booking, it continues.

At the top of the widget it says “Already booked?”. Behind it, the guest identifies with booking number, email and last name and sees their booking: dates, open amount, next steps.

They can request the confirmation again, add the stay to their calendar, pay open amounts, start self check-in or cancel the booking. More on the guest portal page.

Never one room too many.

Before HANS writes the booking, it checks the free units per night once more. If the room has gone through a portal in the meantime, the guest is told, and no booking is created.
