Booking system for villas and holiday homes
Villas and holiday homes sell trust, privacy and a specific standard of stay. Your own system lets you manage premium enquiries, collect deposits and build the relationship away from the marketplace.
Who this system is for
Owners of premium villas in Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote.
Holiday-home managers with several properties.
Businesses catering to family stays, long seasonal lets and returning guests.
Problems we solve
- A premium client wants to ask questions before paying, and a standard booking cart is too rigid.
- Stay terms, the deposit, cleaning and extras are hard to explain in an OTA listing.
- There is no history of enquiries from the families and groups who return every season.
- Manual owner and maintenance blocks are easily confused with genuine availability.
What the customer can do on the site
- The guest visits the villa's landing page and checks availability.
- They send an enquiry with their dates, group makeup and preferences.
- The administrator confirms the terms and sends a deposit payment link.
- Once paid, the system sends confirmation and a pre-arrival communication plan.
Booking system features
- An enquiry form with dates, number of guests, children, pets and expectations.
- A request-to-book mode for stays that need the owner's approval.
- Deposits, security deposits and surcharges for cleaning or extra services.
- Bespoke offers sent from the admin panel once an enquiry has been qualified.
What you manage in the admin panel
- A property calendar with owner, maintenance and OTA reservation blocks.
- Offer statuses: new enquiry, offer sent, awaiting deposit, confirmed.
- An extras module: transfers, an arrival grocery shop, mid-stay cleaning.
- Notes on guest preferences and special requirements.
CRM and lead management
- A history of enquiries from families and groups.
- Tags: family stay, long stay, returning client, high budget.
- Reminders to send a fresh offer ahead of the next season.
- The lead source recorded from the landing page or campaign.
Integrations

- Stripe or Redsys for deposits and security deposits.
- Automated pre-arrival messages.
- A CRM or Dolibarr for client history and invoicing.

FAQ
Can the system work as an enquiry rather than an instant booking?+
Yes. For premium villas a request-to-book model often works better, where the owner approves the terms before the deposit link is sent.
Can the security deposit be handled separately from the booking deposit?+
Yes. The payment model can split out the booking deposit, the balance, the security deposit and any add-on services.
