Reservations

Reservations can come to Bentral reservation system in different ways - inserted directly from your Bentral Dashboard, via widgets you put on your own website or made on other selling channel - provider and transfered to Bentral through XML or iCal connection (channel manager).

Statuses

New reservation

New reservation can be created from Dashboard by clicking on New reservation button below Calendar of occupancy or from Reservations page.

When inserting new reservation you need to define:

Facility (if you have multiple properties)
Unit and number of this unit (if you have multiple number of this unit)
Arrival / Departure
Status

Data we recommend to add:

Guest - name
Country
Guest e-mail
Phone
Number of persons - adults and children

We recommend to add additional guest details because it'll help you later to recognise the guest, maybe you'll need his/her number etc. You'll be able to access these data any time.

By entering guest's e-mail you will be able to contact guest instantly without looking for his/her details.
In addition, the system (if you set so) will automatically send thank you message after the stay.
