Welcome to the Freeway Forums

Hello!

First of all, excuse me for my english. I want to ask for the Hotelling Extension, because I´m very interested.

1.- When it will be available for download?
2.- In a portal with many hotels, can the hotel owners access like admins to change the prices, availability, descriptions... of his own hotel, but not to the rest?

Thank you in advance!

Hi again!

I think that multiple admins solution whith a restricted access is very important. Let´s think in a portal with for example 50 hotels and give the option to the owners of each hotel to modify avalability, edit prices.... If I am not mistaken, actually only the admins can modify it, but for all hotels listed, not for one only.

By this way, someone who wants to put online a booking system, can offer to the hotels an access (Hotel ID and password) to his own hotel (but not to the rest) to modify availability, for example.

In addition, when someone makes a reservation, the system would send an email to the selected hotel with the reservation.

What do you think about?

Hi,

Now we are working hard for Freeway modules of next release.After that work, we will release Hotel Extensions.

We are also discussing about Hotel Extensions Modules.We will consider your points also and release it soon.

Thanks for your Suggestions.

With Thanks,

Thank you very much.

One of the most important problems in a booking system is the room availability because hotels can book his rooms:

1.- By telephone
2.- In the same hotel
3.- Online

Let's think, for example, that one customer books online one room with Freeway but the hotel doesn`t have available rooms because previously had booked by other ways. It would be impossible that Freeway know if the hotel have no rooms.

In this way, it would be very interesting that the hotels also can use the online Freeway system to block the rooms if they receive a phone reservation for example, instead of the owners have a booking software in the hotel computer. They would make all online.

I think that it would be a great success if Freeway integrates a complete booking system based on:

- General admin account(s) to add hotels in Freeway.
- An admin account for each hotel (with permissions to modify his rooms availability, edit prices, services, etc... but not the rest of the hotels). It would be something similar to in a oscommerce site there are multiple shops.
- An email field for each hotel that alerts when someone makes a reservation. After receive the mail, the hotel goes to his Freeway admin account to view the customer phone, address, mail... and confirm the reservation.
- Different payment options that can select each hotel. Previously, payment options could have been defined by the general admin(s).
- Etc...

So, Freeway would get to be a fully automated booking system. I think it's difficult, but it will be really cool!

I hope that you understand my explanation. Sorry for my English.

Best regards from Spain and congratulations for Freeway.
