Direct Booking website

• Boostly gets you started with a WordPress website that you customize to fit your business and brand identity.
• With most property management system (PMS) based websites, you lose your site if you decide to change PMS platforms.  Boostly websites function independently but cooperatively with PMS companies, so if you make a PMS change, it is easy to disconnect your Boostly site from one platform and integrate it with another. You won’t have to start over building a new site.

PMS Booking Engine Pairing

• Integrated with major OTAs (online travel agencies) and PMS companies.
• It uses the latest API technology so your Boostly website and the OTAs can talk to each other to avoid double bookings.

Guest Reviews

• Guest review feature lets you grow your reputation and allow guests to write reviews on your website.
