Availability & Booking

Availability & Booking

When your PMS is connected, the AI concierge can check real-time room availability and help guests book directly from the conversation. No need to redirect them to a website or put them on hold.

How it works

  1. A guest asks "Do you have a room available next weekend?"
  2. The AI checks your PMS for available rooms in that date range
  3. It responds with available room types, rates, and a booking link
  4. The guest can book with one click

Setting up availability

  1. Make sure your PMS is connected
  2. Go to AI Agents > Availability Knowledge in your dashboard
  3. Configure which room types and rate plans the AI should show
  4. Add any custom messaging (e.g., "Best rate guarantee when booking direct")

What guests see

When asking about availability, guests receive:

  • Available room types for their requested dates
  • Pricing per night
  • A direct booking link for one-click checkout
  • Room descriptions and key features

Customizing availability responses

In the Availability Knowledge section, you can:

  • Set which rooms are visible — Hide room types you don't want the AI to offer
  • Add booking incentives — "Book direct and get a free welcome drink"
  • Configure rate display — Show per-night or total stay pricing
  • Add context — "Our sea-view rooms are especially popular in summer — book early!"

When a room isn't available

If no rooms match the guest's request, the AI will:

  • Suggest alternative dates (if configured)
  • Offer a different room type
  • Let the guest know they can contact the front desk for special arrangements
