"Manage Bookings" Login Button in the Booking Engine

A "Manage Bookings" login button has been added to the top right corner of the Hoteliers.com booking engine. This feature allows guests to easily view and manage their bookings directly from your website.

Key Features of "Manage Bookings"

  1. Login via Booking Engine:
    Guests can log in via the booking engine on your website to view their booking details.

  2. View Booking Details:
    Guests will be able to see most details of their reservation.

  3. Cancel Bookings:
    If the booked rate allows cancellations (set to "Rate can be cancelled"), guests can cancel their reservation themselves.


Limitations

At this time, the following is not possible:

  • Guests cannot modify their booking. To make changes, guests can either:
    • Cancel their booking and make a new one, or
