SIHOT.Web can be incorporated into the hotel's Facebook page. The new approach also prompted its developer GUBSE to overhaul the design of this web booking platform.

Hotel guests increasingly use Facebook and other social media to gather information on destinations and hotels. A "book-now" button in the right place encourages potential guests to reserve a room straight away. Therefore, GUBSE has recently introduced an application to secure bookings via Facebook. Clicking on the "book-now" app on the hotel's Facebook page automatically opens the new SIHOT.Web booking mask.

"The Facebook integration was a welcome opportunity to re-design our existing web booking engine. We have not only upgraded the look and feel of the application to make it more appealing to guests, we have also introduced a number of new features. For example, there is a dynamic selection of room categories and the possibility to offer alternative hotels within the same chain if the hotel is fully booked," explains Jorg. P. Berger, CEO of GUBSE.

In addition, the developers of the app devised a simple and logical sequence of steps to guide the guest through the booking process. During each step, SIHOT. Web shows the data that the guest has already entered. To change a detail, guests can easily go one step back by pressing a button and do not have to restart the booking all over again.

SIHOT.Web is highly flexible and can be adjusted to incorporate a hotel's individual requirements. It is part of the SIHOT Hotel Management Software which encompasses 28 different modules for tailor-made software solutions.
