Controlled pilot for hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses

Bring bookings back to the center of your work.

OpenStaying brings direct bookings, rooms and guests into one place. Access is currently limited to assisted pilots, with price, duration, capabilities and limits agreed before activation.

  • Direct bookings from your website
  • Rooms, guests and quotes in one place
  • Privacy consent recorded by category
  • Assisted pilot with transparent price and limits

Storytelling

From fragmented requests to more orderly bookings

The usual property story: first they chase each request, then they orchestrate everything with one engine.

Before

Requests everywhere, control nowhere

Separate email, messages and spreadsheets make it harder to respond and keep control.

Then

One booking path on your website

Guests check availability and complete booking in an experience consistent with your brand.

After

Operational data brought together

Quotes, guests, rates and bookings come together in one place, within the published plan scope.

Platform

Product scope and exclusions explained before joining a pilot

Direct booking with your brand

Availability, room selection and booking confirmation in a flow aligned with your brand.

Reception and management in one place

Rooms, guests, quotes, bookings and daily timeline managed from the same panel.

Rates and payment rules

Base rates, date or room overrides, and stay rules. Online guest payments are not purchasable until full validation with Stripe is complete.

Guests and privacy

Customer and guest profiles, operational notes, consent by category and supported activity history.

Email delivery — not available for purchase

Templates and history exist, but sending is not offered until the email provider, domain, bounces and complaints are verified.

Booking.com and other OTAs — not available

OTA connectors are not currently included as purchasable capabilities. They will be marked available only after provider authorization and full validation.

Pilot terms and duration

Indicative price, duration, capabilities and exclusions are disclosed in advance; sales remain paused until legal and payment gates are complete.

Integration

Website connection within the assisted pilot

For a property admitted to the pilot, we verify the booking-page link to the existing website. Online payments, transactional email delivery and OTA connectors remain excluded.

  1. Once accepted into the pilot, configure the property, logo, colors and key texts.
  2. Add a 'Book now' button on your existing website.
  3. Manage rates, rooms, stay rules and bookings from one panel.
  4. Verify availability and preview before publishing the link.

Transparent pricing

Indicative pricing and pilot limits, disclosed in advance

Plans are shown as pricing references. Self-service sales are paused: before joining an assisted pilot, you receive confirmation of price, VAT, duration, capabilities and exclusions. Free trial, Stripe checkout and automatic renewal are not available.

Free trial, Stripe checkout and automatic renewal are not available during the pilot phase.

Price, VAT treatment, duration, scope and exclusions are confirmed before pilot admission; self-service checkout is not available.

Pilot path

How the assisted pilot works

Applying does not activate a subscription. Scope, timing and conditions are reviewed and confirmed by the team before access is prepared.

Phase 1

Assessment and scope

Contact us by email and we will review requirements, admitted capabilities, exclusions, price and responsibilities. Sending an application alone does not activate a plan.

Phase 2

Guided and controlled setup

Only after pilot approval do we configure essential property data, rooms, rates and appearance through a supervised path.

Phase 3

Checks before publication

We verify preview, availability and pilot limits before linking the website. The link is published only after an explicit checklist.

FAQ

Common questions before applying

Do I need a new website to use OpenStaying?

An admitted pilot property does not need a new website: the booking-page link is verified with the team.

Is OpenStaying suitable for B&Bs?

The pilot can be evaluated for hotels, B&Bs, guesthouses and multi-room properties; admission is not automatic.

How do I access the pilot?

We manually assess requirements, scope and cohort availability. Self-service sales are not available, and timing is communicated case by case before access is prepared.

What is the current OTA integration status?

Booking.com and other OTA connectors are not currently available for purchase. They will be marked available only after provider authorization and full validation.

How do I verify price and included services?

Published plans are pricing references. Before joining the pilot, you receive confirmation of price, VAT, duration, capabilities and exclusions; self-service checkout is not available.
