What is Bookinglayer?
An integrated booking platform designed to help you manage and sell both activities and accommodations efficiently. This system enables you to accept bookings straight from your website, significantly decreasing the number of phone calls needed for confirmations.
With our Booking Engine, you can create tailored packages and empower your customers with the option to decide how much control they desire over their bookings. Our Payment Form facilitates the collection of payments through any preferred method, while you can also automate reminders for deposit or balance payments, and set time limits for bookings to ensure they expire if not paid.
Additionally, the Guest Portal allows you to gather essential information from your guests, enabling you to pose specific questions, establish preferences, and accommodate dietary restrictions. This user-friendly portal streamlines the booking process, making it easy for guests to make initial reservations and modify them later if needed, manage refunds, organize activities, designate instructors, and send out communications, all in one comprehensive system.

Bookinglayer Categories and Features
Tour Operator Software
Bookinglayer simplifies the process for tour operators by allowing them to offer accommodations, activities, transfers, and services in a single bundled package, eliminating the need for separate reservations. Guests can easily choose their travel dates, explore included and optional activities, and finalize their entire itinerary seamlessly on the operator’s personalized website. The system ensures synchronized availability and capacity for both lodging and activities, eliminating the need for manual checks. The Customer Portal takes care of guest interactions, managing follow-ups, waivers, dietary preferences, and payment reminders, so staff don’t have to chase down details via email. With support for over 35 payment gateways and various currencies, every booking is commission-free. Operators have reported saving at least five hours of administrative work each week, with more than 1,500 businesses across 85+ countries and over 40 different niches utilizing the platform.
Retreat Management Software
Bookinglayer is designed exclusively for retreat centers that host yoga, wellness, and extended transformational programs. It offers a comprehensive package that integrates accommodation, activities, meals, and services, available in either fixed dates or flexible options, with automatic enforcement of group sizes and room occupancy. Guests can easily provide their dietary preferences, health details, and emergency contacts, as well as complete waivers through a self-service Customer Portal, streamlining the pre-arrival process and eliminating the need for manual follow-ups. Payment of deposits and balances is automated through more than 35 payment gateways. Each booking is direct and free from commissions, ensuring that guest information remains with the operator. Retreat operators have reported saving a minimum of five hours per week on administrative tasks and have seen a 30% increase in average booking value, with a client retention rate of 95% over more than ten years of operation.
Reservations Software
Bookinglayer is a comprehensive reservation solution designed specifically for enterprises that offer lodging along with activities, rather than merely providing rooms. It enables guests to reserve a complete package—including accommodations, activities, meals, and additional services—through a Booking Engine that operates under the operator's own brand and domain, thereby minimizing abandonment rates and enhancing customer trust during checkout. The platform automates deposit and balance management, sends reminders, and processes payments via more than 35 payment gateways, ensuring that every booking is direct and free from marketplace commissions. Clients have reported saving a minimum of five hours each week on administrative tasks and achieving a 30% increase in average booking value, thanks to integrated upselling strategies within the reservation process. Currently, over 1,500 businesses in more than 85 countries utilize Bookinglayer for their reservation needs, with the company processing over $1.5 billion and maintaining a remarkable 95% client retention rate.
Hospitality Property Management Software
Bookinglayer is specifically designed for hospitality establishments that offer more than just accommodation, such as boutique hotels featuring spa services or recreational activities, wellness resorts, and lodges that integrate lodging with unique experiences. Traditional property management systems typically focus on room reservations and pricing but lack the capability to schedule activities or create package deals. In contrast, Bookinglayer seamlessly merges these functionalities into one comprehensive package, all managed through a singular Backoffice that oversees bookings, occupancy statistics, and employee access rights. Guests benefit from an online check-in process, can sign necessary waivers, and complete payments via a self-service Customer Portal. With over 35 payment gateways available, transactions are processed automatically without any commission fees on direct bookings. Currently, more than 1,500 properties in over 85 countries utilize Bookinglayer, resulting in clients saving at least five hours of administrative work each week and achieving a remarkable 95% client retention rate.
Camp Management Software
Bookinglayer specializes in managing camps that integrate accommodations with organized activities, a model commonly utilized by surf schools, sports camps, summer retreats, and adventure travel companies. Each Package encompasses lodging, activities, meals, and various services, while also automatically managing capacity, group sizes, and schedules. Guests can conveniently submit their dietary preferences, waivers, and emergency contact information via the Customer Portal prior to their arrival, eliminating the need for manual follow-up. Staff can oversee bookings, participant lists, and payments all from a single Backoffice, which includes built-in reporting for occupancy and revenue. With round-the-clock support, Bookinglayer currently aids over 1,500 properties and businesses worldwide across more than 85 countries and 40 different niches, helping clients save a minimum of five hours each week in administrative tasks that were once handled through separate, uncoordinated systems.

Surf Camp Management
Bookinglayer offers a comprehensive solution for surf camps by bundling accommodation, lessons, board rentals, and transfers into a single package, eliminating the need for separate bookings. The capacity for lessons is determined by the availability of instructors and the participants' skill levels. When customers make a reservation, both accommodation and lesson slots are verified simultaneously, streamlining the process and removing the need for manual coordination between room availability and lesson schedules. Guests can also easily include board rentals or additional sessions during the booking process, resulting in an average increase of 30% in booking values through effective upselling strategies. The Customer Portal allows for guests to complete waivers and provide personal information before their arrival. Payments are processed automatically through more than 35 payment gateways, and all bookings are free from commission fees. Surf camps utilizing Bookinglayer report a reduction of at least five hours in administrative tasks each week.
