Is Webhotelier for me?
If you have a hotel or guest accommodation in Italy and you would like to manage your online sales better, WebHotelier ('Online Booking') is perfect for you regardless of the quality of your property (from 5 star hotels to B&Bs). In addition to 'Online Booking' there is also the 'Channel Manager'
Are there commission payments on bookings?
There are no commissions for bookings made through the Channel Manager portals. For direct reservations (that arrive from your accommodation's official website where Fisheyes has installed Webhotelier as an online booking system), this depends on the business model you choose. You can choose to either subscribe to Webhotelier with a start-up fee and a provisional percentage plan (for Hotels), or choose a fixed payment amount for each booking (for B&Bs). Send us your details including the type of structure you operate, the number of rooms, and your location and we will respond with 24 hours – webhotelier@fisheyes.it.
Can I try the service before I buy?
Yes, you can test and evaluate the online booking system for 30 days free of charge. Unfortunately we cannot offer the Channel Manager for a free trial because the initial set up is too complicated.
Is there training, help and assistance?
Yes, we offer a 45 minute training session of the system for free via TeamViewer. Additionally we are very quick and precise in handling any support request and we work 5 days per week from Monday to Friday from 8.30am until 6pm. Saturday and Sundays there is an emergency cell phone service. Our Rome office telephone number is +39 06 4824329.
What are the costs?
Webhotelier has an initial cost (to cover system settings, prices, uploading photos, descriptions, etc) and there is a small commission on every booking that comes to fruition. Commission is to be paid within 30 days of the invoice date – so after the client's departure.
Is it complicated to manage?
No but if you do need any familiarisation with the functions, this can be done during the 45 minutes training session. At the end the accommodation manager has the ability to change room prices, room availabilities, insert offers and download the credit card details of customers. However, it should be noted that Fisheyes takes a small commission on each booking but is at your disposal for assistance for the insertion of offers or package deals for the hotel.
Can I use only the Channel Manager or only the Online Booking?
Yes. You can choose whatever you like.
Can I connect Webhotelier to my existing management system?
