Customizable Booking Engine: A Key Feature of Seekda’s Portfolio 

Why Customization Matters in Booking Engines 

Personalization is key to standing out. Guests increasingly seek unique stays that reflect their preferences, and hotels must meet these expectations. A customizable booking engine is a crucial tool in this endeavor, offering hotels the flexibility to tailor the booking process to their unique brand and offerings. 

 

Examples of Customization in Action 

  • Boutique Hotels: A minimalist, elegant booking page can mirror the sophisticated ambiance of the property, ensuring a seamless brand experience. 
  • Family Resorts: A vibrant, engaging interface can highlight family-friendly amenities and packages, catering to the specific needs of traveling families. 

 

How Seekda’s Customizable Booking Engine Works 

Seekda’s booking engine stands out for its versatility and ease of integration. Here’s how hotels can leverage this technology: 

Key Features 

  1. “Book Your Stay” Button: Hotels can strategically place this button on their homepage, directing visitors to start the booking process effortlessly. For instance, a luxury hotel can position this button alongside a captivating image of their most exquisite suite, enticing guests to book directly. 
  1. Search Bar with Pricing Display: Displaying real-time pricing for different dates and room categories helps guests make informed decisions. A hotel could highlight different rates for weekdays and weekends, including filters for amenities like free breakfast or pet-friendly rooms. 
  1. Widgets: Custom widgets can showcase specific room categories or promotions. For example, an “Ocean View Suite” widget on the “Rooms & Suites” page can include a “Check Availability” button, streamlining the booking process.

Enhancing User Experience 

Seekda’s booking engine, designed as a single-page application (SPA), offers a seamless booking experience by keeping all steps on one page. This reduces the likelihood of cart abandonment and ensures a fast, user-friendly process. 

What Seekda’s Booking Engine Offers 

Seekda’s booking engine is packed with features designed to increase direct bookings and enhance the guest experience:

  • Commission-Free Direct Bookings: Unlike third-party platforms that charge commission fees, Seekda offers a flat annual fee, allowing hotels to retain more revenue. For example, a hotel might offer exclusive perks to guests who book directly, such as complimentary upgrades. 
  • Marketing Features: Dynamic and static banners can be used to promote seasonal offers or highlight the hotel’s unique selling points. A ski resort, for instance, could switch between winter and summer visuals to showcase relevant activities. 
  • Package Management: Hotels can create and promote packages that bundle accommodations with additional services. For example, a “Wellness Weekend” package could include spa treatments and gourmet meals. Such packages often lead to a revenue increase of 3-5%. 
  • Custom Questions: Hotels can gather valuable information through custom questions, available in multiple languages. A property in a wine region might ask guests about their interest in a wine tasting tour, allowing for tailored guest experiences. 

This statistic underscores the importance of customization in attracting and retaining customers. 

 

Conclusion 

Seekda’s customizable booking engine is an essential tool for hotels looking to boost direct bookings and enhance their digital presence. Its flexibility, user-friendly design, and range of features make it a valuable asset in the competitive hospitality market. By offering a personalized and engaging booking experience, hotels can differentiate themselves and provide exceptional service to their guests.
