Guestlink + Worldwide
Link Guestlink with Booking.com for increased exposure
As one of the biggest online booking websites in the world, you can increase your advertising potential and revenue with Booking.com.
By using Guestlink to update your Booking.com account you can reduce the risk of double bookings as all the bookings are managed in one central system.
Working with a Worldwide channel?
You will need a Booking.com, Expedia, SpeedyBooker or Hotel Bonanza account account before you can link the channel with Guestlink. The channels will be able to quote you their pricing and commission structure and this will be in addition to the Guestlink charges.
If you do not have an account you can start your registration on their website.
Sign up for Guestlink + Worldwide
You will need to complete a sign up form for Guestlink + Worldwide.
We offer 3 payment options so you can choose the most cost effective for your business; Pay-As-You-Go, Monthly or Annual.
We recommend that if you are just starting out with the channel you opt for the Pay-As-You-Go option with Guestlink so you can see how it works for you. You can switch to either monthly or annual at any time if you find you are getting a large number of bookings from Booking.com or your cost of stay is a higher value.
Setup Instructions

Linking your account with Guestlink
Login into the chosen channels extranet, navigate to set Guestlink (NVG or New Vision Group) for a full 2-way connection. This will send a request through to Guestlink.
Note: You need to setup the rooms individually in the channel in order to map these to Guestlink with identifiable names for ease of mapping. You will also be required to set the occupancy. The occupancy needs to be entered exactly the same in Guestlink within Channels > + Worldwide.

When you receive a booking you will be notified by Guestlink via email, text or both and you can see the customers details in your Guestlink account.
