A hotel booking engine is a software application, installed or integrated on hotel websites, to securely transaction online direct bookings via a hotel’s website on behalf of guests. Short definition of the booking engine, also called booking button: ‘A hotel booking engine is essentially the shopping cart equivalent for a hotel website’. 

‘A booking engine is a software as a service (SaaS) application used by hospitality businesses to provides guests with the opportunity to reserve a property online. ‘

Booking engines have two sides: the back end and the customer-facing side, also called front-end. The back end is used by companies(hotel owners and their staff) to set up, manage and review reservations and the customer-facing side allows guests to self-book rooms. 

This direct booking technology is suitable for all hotel sizes and properties. Does not matter if you have only one room or five, ten, twenty or more. Every hospitality business needs to enable and empower guests to book rooms on their own websites to eliminate high commissions and make sure they are fully available and open for business.
