You own a bed and breakfast, hotel or rent out an apartment to tourists. Accepting bookings and the booking process in general is an energizing job and takes a lot of time and energy.

So what takes so much time around the booking process? Here is an overview:

• Placing ads on relevant rental websites such as Airbnb, Booking, Expedia, Vrbo and Trip Advisor. The ads should be maintained, effectively describe the rental property and include nice pictures.
• Maintaining calendars of the apartment (or apartments) on the various rental websites (this process can be partially automated by synchronization of calendars).
• Updating prices so that the apartment is rented at the optimal price. This is an ongoing process because supply and demand are constantly changing. It may be necessary to use last minute actions to avoid potential vacancies.
• Answer questions from potential guests. Potential guests often have questions such as location of the apartment in relation to tourist attractions of the city or size of rooms, etc. before they make a booking. Questions should be answered respectfully so that they make a booking.
• Optional: maintain your own rental website with special content not possible on general rental websites.

So all in all, it's quite a job. Betterstays can help with this by taking bookings and outsourcing the booking process for your hotel or bed and breakfast.

Outsource booking management and the booking process

Our objective is simple: we want to generate as much income for you as possible within the rules you specify (for example, if you want a maximum of 2 guests per room we will stick to that when taking bookings).

How we can help you by outsourcing the booking process:

• We can effectively place and maintain ads because of our vast accumulated experience. We know how to build an ad so that guests will book
• Keeping calendars is not the most fun job but it has to be done right. We are passionate and skilled with the necessary administrative tasks for this.
• We have made achieving an optimal nightly rate a true art (and almost science). Our strategy consists of properly researching comparable rooms, bed and breakfasts & apartments (think location, quality and service), using as much existing data as possible (think rental figures from past years) and with our smart price-management software we also see future occupancy in the area and automatically adjust it accordingly.
• Customer is king! We know how to communicate with guests that come from all corners of the world. We make guests feel good.

Sounds good! How to proceed?
