Very easy to use
I used this to set up a client’s boat/apartment booking service on the French Riviera.
Really simple to use, it took no time to teach my client what each view did.
The interface is great, you can get all the info you need directly from the dashboard. Great support, they answered to my questions on the same day.
The documentation is great, it teaches you the basic setup in a clear and simple way, I think it is high value for money, will use again in the future.

Full-featured booking engine that does what it has to and even more.
I'm completely satisfied with it. The booking engine allowed a granular control over prices and booking conditions for our chain of holiday rent homes.
Support is really fast and ready to help.
Top choice if you need a reliable Booking system.

I purchase Vik Booking fo a client's website with 4 rooms to book.
For me it's great component. Covers almost everything needed. It takes some time to learn how to use it. Not the easiest, but definitely not the hardest!
The documentation covers everything! If it's not there, it's because you need support, and the support is great!
It is not the cheapest component, but well worth the money!

Rooms and Room-Types Management
Manage your guests
Set up your rooms as you would do with an OTA. Define the minimum and maximum number of Adults, Children and Total Guests for each room type.
Assign a reservation to a specific room unit
Configure the number of units available and optionally assign a number/name to each sub-unit thanks to the function Distinctive Features. This way you will be able to assign the reservations to specific room units to know exactly in which room your guests will be staying.
Configure Optional and Mandatory Extra Services
Assign to your rooms specific optional services that guests can order during the booking process, like breakfast or dinner.

Rate Plans and Rooms Rates for any Pricing Model
Any kind of pricing model
The Pricing Framework of Vik Booking was developed to support any kind of pricing model by following the OpenTravel Alliance Standards. Whether you use rates per nights of stay (LOS), rates by occupancy or per-day rates, with Vik Booking you will be able to set up any possible pricing rule.
Per Day Pricing
This is the most common pricing model. Every day of the year can have its own cost. For example, you can have different rates on weekdays than weekend, or in days of high season rather than low season.
Per Day by Length of Stay
This pricing model is often adopted by Apartments, Villas and B&Bs. Rates can be defined depending on the number of nights of stay. For example, 1 night EUR 80, 2 nights EUR 150, and so on.
Per Occupancy Pricing
Those who use different rates depending on the number of adults will find this function fundamental. Adjust the costs of the rooms depending on the number of adults that occupy it. A property that would like to give a Double Room to one Adult only for example, can define a charge or a discount for the single occupancy of the room.
Children's Ages
The system allows to optionally define costs with absolute or percentage value, so that it's also possible, for example, to make a child pay the 100% of the room cost if older than a certain age. In this case, after a specific age, children can be considered as adults.
Seasonal Prices and Promotions
Vik Booking will let you alter the default rates on some seasons, holidays, weekends and festivities of the year. By setting charges or discounts as either absolute or percentage values, you will be able to adjust your rates in no time.
Booking Restrictions
With the restrictions, you can define your booking rules for certain dates/months of the year. For example, in high season you can limit the Minimum Length of Stay (Min LOS) to 2 nights. Otherwise, you could set up a Maximum Length of Stay rule (Max LOS) or force the arrival and departure day to something like Friday/Monday.
CTA/CTD (Closed to Arrival/Departure)
Restrictions can also be used to close certain days to arrival and/or departure. That's what the CTA and CTD rules are meant for. Another must-have feature to balance the bookable dates. Compliant with the OTA Standards.
Week-Day Arrival and Departure Combinations
Guide your visitors during the selection of the dates for check-in and check-out. With some Restrictions in place, the system will automatically exclude certain dates depending on the minimum and maximum stay, and eventually on the days closed/forced to arrival/departure.
Suggest the Closest Booking Solutions
In case of no availability for the dates or party requested. The system can suggest to book on some other dates when there is still availability, or it can suggest a different booking solutions to allocate all the guests into the available rooms.
Automated SMS, Custom Email Reminders and Invoices Generator
SMS and Custom Email Reminders
Thanks to the Cron Jobs Scheduling function, you can automatize some tasks such as to send a custom reminder via email to all customers that will be checking in the day after, or send an email after the check-out to invite your customers to leave a review.
Reminder for the remaining Balance
There is also another type of Reminder for the Remaining Balance that should be paid before the arrival.
You can automatize and customize pretty much anything!
Generate and send Invoices
You can schedule the Cron Job to automatically generate an invoice and send it to your customers before the check-in or after the check-out. This will save you a lot of time.
Custom Payment Gateways
Receive payments through over 40+ payment gateways
Vik Booking comes with a few payment options pre-installed such as PayPal, Offline Credit Card, Cash upon Arrival. However, you can easily integrate the system with your preferred bank gateway. In fact, the payment framework can be extended and it supports any kind of integration, even the ones requiring an SSL certificate or a 3D Secure Authentication.
In the Payment Gateways section of our website you can find a list of all the integrations available for some popular banks of the world. In case your bank is not in the list, you can always follow our Documentations page to see how you can develop a plugin for a custom payment gateway.
This is what other customers think about Vik Booking
A very good booking system together with a very useful channel manager
I purchased Vik Booking because I needed to integrate my website with all the channels. It made easier for us planning the day thanks to the dashboard.
I found it very useful because .
We can see which room had to be done first, depending on how late the guests arrived.
Thanks also a good overview at the occupation of the month, it helps us to focus our attention commercially.

Was the best option to fulfill my needs.
Vik Booking was the best option to fulfill my needs.
Our market demands to have occupancy prices, per night/per person in off season and children prices by age. In high season we need price / room regardless the number and the age of the persons.
Many other booking solutions instead are offering only price/room options. Vik Booking has a good and friendly design as well.
I'm also able to build my booking engine in 99% in a similar way as on Booking.com and other major ota website.
