From first click to a stay

One request, one decision, one stay.

Here is how guests send a request from your website. You stay in control of confirmation.

How it works

1Submit

The guest sends a request

They provide dates, contact details and the information needed to review the stay.

2Decide

The property processes it

The request appears as pending in the back office. The team can confirm or decline it.

3Inform

The guest receives the decision

The communicated outcome reflects the property’s decision, with no automatic confirmation.

A link to your existing engine. Guests select “Book” and leave guideyourguest to continue in your current solution.

Property side

One simple rule: one tool makes the decision.

When you link to an existing engine, it remains responsible for the journey. When you enable guideyourguest requests, your team makes the decision in the back office.

“Link” mode is not PMS synchronisation. “Request” mode requires your team to confirm or decline.

Define the destination. Add your current engine address or enable the guideyourguest request form.

Keep availability current. In request mode, calendars must stay up to date to present consistent information.

Process every request. A request remains pending until the property confirms or declines it.

Direct booking

Estimate the impact of direct booking.

For properties that win stays back from platforms, every direct booking avoids their commission. Adjust the assumptions with your own figures: the amount is a reference point, not a promise.

Does guideyourguest integrate with my engine or PMS?

Can I keep my current tool?

Yes. You can keep its workflow and add its link to the website booking button.

guideyourguest does not take a commission on requests received through your own journey.
