Common questions about vacation rental booking widgets
A booking widget is a form embedded on your own website that lets guests send reservation requests directly to you. It shows your real-time availability, calculates pricing, and collects guest details - without going through Airbnb or VRBO.
No - it works alongside them. You keep your existing listings on those platforms and add a direct booking option on your own website. Guests who find you on Google or via your site can book directly, saving you the 15-20% commission.
Pricing display is optional and fully configurable. Set nightly rates, seasonal overrides, cleaning fees, pet fees, length-of-stay discounts, and coupon codes. Choose from 6 currencies. RentalBeam does not process payments - guests submit a request and you confirm the booking directly.
You receive an instant email alert with the guest's details, dates, and contact information. You can then reply to confirm, decline, or discuss the reservation directly.
Yes. The booking widget reads from the same iCal sources as your availability calendar. When a guest books on Airbnb or VRBO, those dates are blocked on your booking widget in real time - preventing double bookings.
The booking form widget is a Pro plan feature. Pro includes configurable fees, discount rules, coupon codes, custom form fields, seasonal pricing, booking rules, and multi-currency support. The Pro 3-calendar plan includes a 14-day free trial.
