Gîte website with synchronized booking
This case study presents the creation of a holiday cottage website with synchronized booking Airbnb and Booking for Lodges Begleguer, in Brittany: calendars by accommodation, direct payment on the site and booking management area.
📋 Summary
The client and their context: lodges in Brittany
Lodges Begleguer (lodges-begleguer.com) offers several accommodations in Brittany. Like most guesthouses, the lodges are marketed on Airbnb and Booking, which take commissions on each stay.
The owner wanted to redesign his website to become a true direct booking channel, without the risk of double booking with the platforms.
The need: to book directly without losing Airbnb and Booking.com
- Synchronize external calendars Airbnb and Booking;
- accept the reservations and payments directly on the site;
- easily manage bookings, their status and reminders;
- modulate the prices depending on the period and offer promo codes and deposits.
What we have achieved
We chose WordPress and Divi, combined with the Booking Manager plugin. Each lodge has its own calendar, linked to Airbnb and Booking: visitors select their dates directly on the website. A global calendar on the homepage displays all available dates. Synchronization and updates are automatic.
The template and layouts have been custom-built according to the client's needs, with visual consistency and responsive display. The booking processes, payment conditions and information emails were configured taking into account the specific features of the gîte management tools.
The administrator area displays all reservations and their status, with the option to resubmit, modify, or edit a reservation. Payment by bank transfer or card, in a secure environment, eliminates platform commissions on direct bookings. We also provided the client with training on the tool, promotional codes, and calendar management. This is the core principle of our offer. holiday rental website with synchronized Airbnb/Booking booking.
