1 This function is currently in beta testing. If you want to participate in the test send us a support ticket

This  page explains how to use and customise the responsive version (beta) of the booking page.

The design of the responsive booking page is fully modular. This allows you to fully control the layout. We provide a set of default layouts which can be used as they are.

2 1. Use Responsive Booking Page

Go to SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE and select "Booking Page Version" = Responsive. This setting will activate Layout 1.

When you change from adaptive to responsive you need to assign your pictures again. Go to SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE->PICTURES. Set the selector to the room then choose "Offer 1" and activate the picture/pictures you want to display. If you are using more than one offer repeat for each. 

NOTE: If you select "Booking Page Version" = Responsive your live web site will change to the new design. If you just want to have a look you can do this adding &version=3 to the URL of your booking page. To see the different layouts also add the layout number eg. &version=3&layout=2 will show you layout 2. Alternatively you can copy your property and use the copy for testing. If you do this make sure all channel manager connections are deactivated in the copy property. The normal monthly fee will apply for additional rooms so you might want to reduce the number of rooms in the copy property.

3 2. Choose a different Layout

Go to SETTINGS->BOOKING PAGE->PAGE DESIGN->LAYOUT and set the selector to the layout you want to use as your standard layout.

The responsive booking page consists of sections: "Offer" contains the standard offer for a room or unit.

  • One offer will always be shown
  • Additional offers (for example for alternative non refundable prices or packages) are optional
  • All other sections are optional.
