Have the ability to make the logo bigger on the direct booking website.
As the logo is so small, if there's text in the logo, the text is often almost impossible to see. Also, it may help if there were a separate logo field to upload the logo image for the direct booking site on the direct booking website tab, instead of pulling it from the agency settings. That way, we could select a logo maybe without text .

"Request to book" button instead of "Book now" when property has "booking request" mode
When a property has booking mode as Inquiry, from direct booking site or booking widget, option shows as "Get a quote".
However, when a property has booking mode as Booking Request or Instand Booking, this option shows as "Book now".
But for Booking Request mode, when continuing to proceed with a booking, there is a small note at the top of the page that states, "guest must wait for the property manager to accept it and payment will be processed accordingly." which is quite confused and guest can easily miss that note.
I think it would be much more clear…

Display "check in not allowed" on direct booking site, rather than appear booked
The calendar on our booking site shows certain dates in a darker blue color, indicating that check-in is not allowed for specific listings. However, this may not be clear to our guests and could discourage them from booking a longer stay. It would be helpful to display a message informing them that these dates are still available for booking, which may encourage them to consider a longer stay instead of giving up on those dates.

Shorter URL link for new DBS
The new DBS is generating a very long property URL link.
We need it to be shorter, as a shorter more precise link will not only make it easier to share with others, it is less likely to be considered a fraudulent or spam link, and will also assist with SEO.
7 votesThere are a lot of tools for shortening URLs out there such as https://bitly.com/ - you can create 10 urls per month for free so you can pretty much get all the ones you need.

Total cost breakdown on first page of Direct Booking Site
On the first page for creating a reservation, the breakdown of the reservation total should appear. Having the total without the breakdown makes it look like the nightly rate is VERY high. On the next page guests can then see the breakdown but that is often too late. The button should also say “continue” not “book now”. Please make the breakdown appear on page 1!

Do not allow guest to choose check out dates less than the minimum stay requirement
The system currently permits users to select check-out dates that do not meet the minimum night requirement. However, when entering guest details, an error message in the booking widget states "Minimum stay is not met." This could potentially confuse guests and lead to a loss of interest.

Add a field "How did you find out about us"
Just wondering if I can add a button to the booking info area that asked them where they found out about us? Google, press, social media etc. I need to know what marketing is working and what isn't - Yes of course. So on the box on the right where you book your stay and it asks for your info. Could I add a line that asks where they found us?
The drop down has Google? word of mouth? press article? Instagram?

Ability to create gift cards
We would like to have the ability to be able to actually create gift cards so that someone could book online with the gift card versus discount code and be taxed properly without me having to manually enter it? For example, the gift card would be taxed on rent amount since the discount is taxed on rent-discount ((a line item will be added with a negative amount after the guest books the dates/in a manual booking and the Tax on Rent would be applied on the Rent only))
If a gift card is written as a coupon code for a…13 votes -
Track conversion rate of inquiries/ booking requests to confirmed bookings on direct channel
My booking setting is inquiry/ booking request. I want to add a conversion tracking code on the booking confirmation page, but this won't work due to no booking confirmation page for these booking settings. I don't want to switch to instant book.
As a PM, I want to be able to have a way to track the conversion rate of inquiries/ booking requests to instant bookings on my direct booking site.

Direct booking site URLs should escape "unsafe" or "unwise" characters per RFC 3986
The URLs that are built for the Direct Booking site MUST escape characters that are considered "unsafe". This includes the pipe character ( | ), which is pretty commonly used in page titles as a separator that doesn't take up much space.
If these are not escaped, Google Travel will NOT accept the weblink. For example, one of our listings has this for the direct URL:
That should escape the | to %7C:

Photo Gallery Tile Display for Selecting Photos
It would be great when someone clicks to “see more photos” that it displays a tile gallery of ALL the photos that then the user can select which photo enlarges on their screen. Currently, I have to click at rapid speed to find a photo of a specific room I may be interested in. It’s rather difficult.
Better flow… photos display as is on booking site with an option to see more photos—> when clicked all photos display in a tile gallery—> the customer can select a specific photo that then enlarges on their screen.
*Even better would be if…

Make Direct Booking site pricing details editable- Units section (not frontpage)
Not being able to modify DBS price display for Units once you click from frontpage shows an average price which is higher than half of our year and can turn away guests that are looking for lower prices. This is misleading guests.
It should be exactly the same as the units that show on the front page.
