Accommodation
Direct stays on your own website. Rooms, rates, housekeeping and the folio, together.
For motels, boutique hotels, pubs with rooms and caravan parks. Guests book a room on your website, and the desk, housekeeping and the room bill work from that same booking.
A paid add-on to any plan, priced per property. No commission on your stays.
What changes at the desk
Everything the property runs on
Availability and the booking engine
- Guests book a room or unit on your website
- By room type or a named room such as Room 214. Stays confirm instantly unless you change that.
How we do it
Before the guest sends the booking, the quote shows extra-guest pricing, extras such as breakfast or a pet fee, and GST on its own line.
- Rates that follow the season
- You set seasonal and weekday rates, length-of-stay tiers and extra-guest pricing once per room type.
- An availability board for every room
- Block dates and apply changes in bulk, with a preview first and an undo after.
Reservation desk and property desk
- Changes without a spreadsheet
- New stays, date changes with a quoted preview, split stays, room moves and group bookings.
- Today view, check-in and check-out
- Whoever is on the desk sees today's arrivals, departures and groups on one screen.
Housekeeping, the folio and guest messages
- Housekeeping from a board or a printed list
- Housekeeping staff sign in with a PIN, and an activity log records operations.
- The room bill, invoice and registration card
- The bill only ever gains lines. You record settlement at checkout and print the documents from it.
How we do it
Settlement is recorded against the bill. The payment itself happens on your own terminal or another method you already use.
- Messages before arrival and during the stay
- You message guests from their booking, and stay notifications go out on their own.
- Cancellation and deposit policies per room type
- Guests read the policy before they book, then pay the deposit online when they book.
Reports, calendars and AI assistants
- Occupancy and room revenue reports
- See how full the property ran and what the rooms earned.
- iCal export of room availability
- Any calendar or site that reads an iCal feed picks up your availability.
- AI assistants can book a stay
- They use the same agent keys as table bookings, and a room type that needs a deposit takes it at booking.
Why this matters for pubs with accommodation
Your restaurant booking, room booking, meal order and guest account do not need to live in four systems. The room desk, the table diary, QR ordering and the till already run in BookMyVenue, and charge to room joins the bistro to the room bill.

A stay cannot book with more guests than the room allows.
In-room shop
