Hotel booking systems: what they are and how they work<\/p>\n

Imagine: you’ve decided to open a hotel. We’ve created a website, uploaded photos, but what’s next? To allow guests to book rooms and ensure automatic synchronization of data, hotels require a specialized booking system.<\/p>\n

Let’s explore this in a human-friendly manner.<\/p>\n

1. Booking-engine – the “booking button” on the website<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is the calendar and form that appears when a guest selects dates and clicks on “Book.”
Booking-engine shows available rooms, calculates the price, and accepts payments.<\/p>\n

Without it, the website is just a website. With it, it’s a real online hotel room store.<\/p>\n

2. PMS – the “brain” of the hotel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In PMS, the hotelier manages all the accounting:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • which rooms are available,<\/li>\n
  • who checks in and checks out,<\/li>\n
  • payments, reports, and cleaning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This is an internal working system, without which a modern hotel will simply go blind.<\/p>\n

    3. Channel Manager \u2014 to avoid double bookings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Channel Manager is a \u201ctranslator\u201d between the hotel and platforms like Booking.com, Airbnb, and Ostrovok.<\/p>\n

    It ensures that:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • if you book a room on Booking.com, it will disappear from the website immediately,<\/li>\n
    • if you update the price on your own website, it will be updated everywhere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This is why you don’t arrive at the hotel and hear the dreaded “Sorry, no rooms available.”<\/p>\n

      4. Ready-made cloud solutions: a quick start for hotels<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Developing these solutions yourself is very expensive. Therefore, cloud services have appeared on the market that provide hotels with everything at once: PMS, channel manager, and a booking system.<\/p>\n

      One of the most well-known hotel booking systems in the Russian-speaking segment is Bnovo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      Why Bnovo is considered a market leader<\/strong><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • more than 16,000 properties<\/strong> worldwide use their platform,<\/li>\n
      • 10+ years<\/strong> of experience,<\/li>\n
      • user-friendly cloud-based software for hotels, hostels, and apartments,<\/li>\n
      • automated sales, availability, and pricing in one place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n

        The company’s main mission is to provide hotels with tools that increase sales, save time, and help them operate without errors. Bnovo has everything a beginner hotelier needs, from room accounting to synchronization with Booking.com and other platforms.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

        5. Why should a tourist know about all this?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        Because now it makes sense:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • why reservations are confirmed instantly,<\/li>\n
        • why the same price is displayed on different websites,<\/li>\n
        • why good hotels don’t have overbooking,<\/li>\n
        • and why the price sometimes changes depending on the dates and occupancy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Behind every reservation is a large technological machine that works around the clock.<\/p>\n

          In summary<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          To make a hotel modern, it needs three things:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. booking button on the website,<\/li>\n
          2. internal management system,<\/li>\n
          3. synchronization with platforms.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            And in order not to collect all this in parts, many choose ready-made solutions like Bnovo, where everything is already built in.<\/p>\n
