Great system, if you are in the vacation rental business you need to have Rentals United!
So far we are satisfied with their services, Louis, Matthew and his team is very helpful to give me understanding about their product. This help us to make connections to several different channels at one time, so really time saving and less work. Hopefully it’ll worth and working well in the future.

CYRIL KATZ

La Vie Facile

I started using Rentals United which saves me a lot of time. My trainer (Damaris Chalmers) was adorable and very patient, and the support team very impressive, very fast but also very precise about the issues, with screenshots very intuitive for the new user. It is still too early to judge the increase in revenue generated but I have already made reservations on sites that I had never used before.

Very helpful and kind staff/help desk. It’s a very organised channel manager, especially if you have many rentals to manage.

Frequently Asked Questions

With ‘Request to Book’, guests pick their desired dates and send an inquiry to the host when making a booking request through Booking.com. After receiving the request, property managers can then review guests’ profiles and see if they’re suitable, approving or declining their requests.

The Request to Book feature is crucial for property managers who need to double-check property availability with the owner or have other considerations, such as guest screening or specific property requirements.

Request to Book may be better for you if:

  • You require a high degree of control over guest selection
  • You are renting out unique, high-demand properties
  • You want to screen all potential guests carefully
  • You have complex calendar coordination needs
  • You want to list on more channels and increase revenue

Request to Book allows property managers to benefit from the huge exposure of OTA’s like Booking.com, without sacrificing the exclusivity of their property. Benefits include:

  1. Increased Confidence in Guest Selection—The ability to communicate with potential guests before confirming a booking may help you feel more confident in your guest selection process.
  2. Reduced Risk of Booking Cancellations—Thoroughly vetting guests and setting clear expectations can reduce the likelihood of cancellations and ensure more stable booking schedules.
  3. Greater Appeal for Property Managers—The introduction of Request to Book on major platforms addresses a significant barrier. You may have hesitated to list your properties on these platforms due to the lack of control over bookings. With this feature, you can now confidently utilize Booking.com, as well as Airbnb, Vrbo, and others, to reach a broader audience while maintaining your standards.

Booking.com offers a global marketing platform for property managers to reach new customers and grow businesses. Higher commissions often translate to better search rankings, incentivizing partnerships with industry leaders.

Booking.com operates under an agency business model, earning commissions up to 25% on vacation rental bookings made through its platform. Booking.com also generates revenue through a merchant model by purchasing room inventory in advance and reselling it to travelers.
