# Reservations

General information about reservations. See how you create a reservation but also how you can change them.

### Reservation&#x20;

Reservation is one of the key elements in a hotel program like <img src="https://4056903686-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M4ZcIQ2d_EiHtDol6hf%2F-MdaQn8DvEe8-80QOiAv%2F-MdaQuyvYRGTtZsFODuO%2Fhotelizer-square.png?alt=media&amp;token=08cb7d4a-2244-4669-9f59-bd546a1e2e86" alt="" data-size="line">Hotelizer. The reservation contains basic information such as its **code, date** and **time** the reservation was made, **source**, and of course one or more **stays** (rooms).

{% hint style="info" %}
We have made a basic choice in <img src="https://4056903686-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-M4ZcIQ2d_EiHtDol6hf%2F-MdaQn8DvEe8-80QOiAv%2F-MdaQuyvYRGTtZsFODuO%2Fhotelizer-square.png?alt=media&amp;token=08cb7d4a-2244-4669-9f59-bd546a1e2e86" alt="" data-size="line">Hotelizer and we treat the reservation as a **group** for the following reasons:

{% endhint %}

* Every single reservation could turn into a group reservation.&#x20;
* Many bookings from the **channels** (eg Booking.com etc.) come **as group** with a specific booking code.
* We can easily **add one or more** rooms to a reservation that concerns the same company
* Each room (stay) in a reservation can have **different duration** and **information**&#x20;
* It is easier to see and manage cases where we have made a **split**. When a customer stays in one room and we transfer him to another for various reasons such as because we do an upgrade.
* **Pricing** is **easier** and **better manageable**
* We can make a **mass arrival & departure** of a reservation with many rooms

### Accommodations / Rooms

Each booking has at least one **stay** (**room**). There cannot be accommodation that does not belong to a reservation. Changes that are made on the stays and mainly concern prices & condition, also inform the reservation. For example if you change prices in a room then this action will affect the whole booking. If you change the status of the stay by checking in then **the reservation will be updated accordingly**.

{% hint style="info" %}
The accommodations are the ones that will appear in the **Calendar** but also in several lists such as **arrivals & departures, cleaning**, etc.
{% endhint %}

Each stay has more information in addition to the reservation:

* **Guest** details&#x20;
* **Room type** & **room** (if the allocation has been made)
* **Dates** & arrival/departure **time**
* **Persons** , **adults** & **children**&#x20;
* **Rates** & **board**
* **Price**
* **Tasks** & **preferences**
* **Reservation** status (Confirmed, In House etc.)
