Enquiry View on your Booking Engine in South Africa
Inn Style’s Enquiry View allows guests to see availability by choosing an arrival date, the number of nights and guests to see availability.
Potential customers can instantly check the availability for their preferred dates, providing them with an instant result as to whether you can accommodate them. Utilising this view gives bookers an easy to navigate and fast booking journey with proven conversion rates on your booking engine in South Africa.
Inn Style’s modern, streamlined Enquiry View has the benefit of being able to easily compare units and rates with results displayed on flippable room cards – you’ll only find that with Inn Style.
Calendar View
The Calendar View is a great way to show your availability to potential bookers in a simple but effective format which can be customised to your brand.
The default integration will display calendars for all properties, rooms or units in a grid format which collapses to consecutive calendars on mobiles and tablets. It’s a great way of showing all of your availability for a given month for the entire accommodation in one simple place. It’s part of what makes Inn Style’s system the perfect booking engine in South Africa.
Easily embed your accommodations’ full availability calendar towards the bottom of your home page to give your soon-to-be guest the chance to view availability for the month and get them converted! See the accommodation calendar in action below…
Unit Calendar View
Inn Style’s intuitive booking engine in South Africa really starts to come into it’s own at this point. Easily embed the calendar for the unit on your specific website page to give bookers another opportunity to convert away from your primary booking journey entry points.
With Inn Style’s booking engine in South Africa, it is possible to display the booking calendar for a single Cottage, Lodge, Shepherd’s Hut or whatever you may be selling, to enable this to be embedded on a specific page. These can be utilised multiple times for different units on the same page if, for example, you had property types overarching the individual units (e.g. “Holiday Cottages” as a category for 5 separate cottages). It’s really effective for converting those guests who like to check out every unit you have on your website before making a decision.
This unique setup allows you to convert on your accommodation on a whole or within specific units. You can set it up to sit the full width your page, or utilise it aligned to one side within a column to maximise conversion rates. Have a look below at how it’s really effective…
