Answers to commonly asked questions

Yes. Our calendar synchronises with most other platforms that use iCal. This means that you have up to date information and can avoid double bookings.
Yes. Our booking engine keeps a customer on your website for longer which will help improve your SEO, unlike some engines that take the traffic away from your website and to their own site.
Yes. Our ‘Book Now’ option provides guests with, real-time availability calendar, up to date pricing and the ability to book and pay online.
We ask guests for a 25% deposit to secure their booking (if booking more than 6 weeks in advance) with the balance due 6 weeks before their stay. 
We hold the payment card details of the guest on Stripe and raise a charge of £100 which can be claimed against.
An email confirmation is immediately sent to both you and the guest on booking.
The availability calendar can simply be added to your Facebook page with the same functionality you would get via having it on your own website.

You will receive payment at the end of the month a payment is received.

For example a deposit payment is made in March for a booking in August. The deposit (less 12.5% commission) is paid to you in March.

The customer settles the balance 6 weeks before the holiday and at the end of that month you receive the remaining monies, less our 12.5%.

A statement is emailed to you to itemise the payment.
