Booking.com and Airbnb bring guests. That is good and it is not going to change. But some of those guests search for you by name on Google. If they end up on Booking.com because you had nowhere for them to book, you pay commission on a reservation that was already yours.
What the booking engine is
A "Book now" button on your website. The guest picks dates, sees available rooms and prices, pays by card and gets a confirmation. The reservation lands in the Bookmatrix.com calendar and closes the room on Booking.com and Airbnb by itself.
Why zero commission
Because the booking engine is part of the subscription, not a separate service charging a percentage. However many reservations come from your website, the cost is the same.
What is included
- A website for the property, with your photos and rooms. We build it.
- A booking engine in Greek and English, mobile friendly.
- Card payments through Stripe or Viva.com.
- Cancellation policies and deposits, as you define them.
- Automatic confirmation email to the guest.
How to bring people to the website
Your Google Business Profile with a link to your website. Your email signature. A card at reception: "Next time, book direct". Guests who have already stayed once are the easiest to bring back directly.
How many bookings a year come from Google with your name on them? Make them yours.
