Booking system for your holiday home on your own website

What is a booking system for a holiday home?

Receive booking requests via your own site

Visitors to your website see a live availability widget. They choose their dates, immediately see the price for their stay and send a request. You receive a notification, confirm the booking and the guest automatically receives a confirmation email. No phone calls, no manual replies.

1. 1

   Guest chooses dates

   The widget shows live availability from your calendar. Occupied periods are blocked, no risk of double bookings.

2. 2

   Request with price overview

   The guest sees the calculated price based on your rates for that period. Seasonal rates, weekend prices and extras are automatically included.

3. 3

   You confirm in one click

   You receive the request in your dashboard or by email. Confirm or decline, and the calendar updates immediately.

4. 4

   Guest receives confirmation

   After your approval, a confirmation email is automatically sent to the guest with all the details of their stay.

You stay in control of your rental

Guests who book directly through your own site book with you, not through an external platform. You keep the contact with your guest, set your own prices and house rules, and present your property in your own brand identity. Rentiplanner works with a fixed annual subscription, regardless of the number of bookings.

Guest communication handled automatically

A booking system does more than accept bookings: it also takes the administration off your hands. Rentiplanner sends automatic emails at the right moment, in the language of your guest.

• Confirmation email on approval

  As soon as you confirm the request, the guest receives a clear confirmation email with all the details of the stay.

• Reminder email before arrival

  A day or two before arrival, check-in instructions and any house rules are automatically sent to the guest.

• Cancellation confirmation

  If either you or the guest cancels, the system automatically sends a confirmation with the agreed cancellation terms.

• Multilingual guest emails

  Receiving French, German or Dutch-speaking guests? Emails are automatically sent in the guest's own language.

Prices and seasons always correct

A good booking system automatically calculates the price based on your rates. Set up your base rates, seasonal prices and discounts once, the system does the rest.

• Seasonal rates

  Set higher rates for the summer holidays and other peak periods. Outside the season, guests automatically see the lower price.

• Weekend rates

  Want a different rate for a weekend booking than for a midweek stay? Set it up once and the system calculates automatically.

• Extras and tourist tax

  Add final cleaning, linen packs or tourist tax as mandatory or optional extras. The guest sees the full cost breakdown before they book.

• Early-bird discount and last-minute

  Encourage early bookings with a discount, or make empty periods more attractive with a last-minute price. You set the rules, Rentiplanner applies them.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use Rentiplanner if I am already on Airbnb or Booking.com?

Yes. Rentiplanner synchronises your availability via iCal with Airbnb, Booking.com and other platforms. This prevents double bookings while you also receive direct bookings through your own site.

How do I add the booking widget to my website?

After signing up you receive a small code snippet, a single line of HTML, that you paste into your website. The widget works on any platform: WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or a custom-built site.

Do I need technical knowledge to use Rentiplanner?

No. The system is designed for holiday home owners, not developers. You set up your rates and availability through a simple dashboard. The widget takes less than five minutes to install.

How much does a booking system with Rentiplanner cost?

Rentiplanner works with a fixed annual subscription, regardless of the number of bookings. See our pricing page for current rates.

Can I decide which requests I accept?

Yes. Rentiplanner works with a request model: the guest submits a request, you decide. You can also enable instant booking if you prefer.

Does the booking system work on mobile?

The widget is fully responsive and works on desktop, tablet and phone. Guests can send a request from any device.

How do cancellations work?

You set your own cancellation policy. When a cancellation occurs, Rentiplanner automatically sends the confirmation and updates the calendar.
