Mon expérience avec Rentals United est très bonne ! En plus d’un service-client rapide et très performant, mes réservations s’améliorent à vue d’oeil. J’ai eu le plaisir d’être aidé par Mariagrazia qui a toujours fait un excellent travail! Je recommande !

A Place Like Home

Rentals United was our first foray into the world of Channel Managers after what was a painfully thorough research process in 2017. Their task was to facilitate our growth and exposure to the wider booking platform market and quite simply they exceeded every expectation and goal we had set. We found ourselves struggling to manage the admin side from the speed at which we started receiving reservations!

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:

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.
Reduced Risk of Booking Cancellations—Thoroughly vetting guests and setting clear expectations can reduce the likelihood of cancellations and ensure more stable booking schedules.
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.
