Can I sell the hotels I have my own contracts with alongside the ones that come through your hotel booking API?

Yes, in most setups you can sell your own directly contracted hotels next to the ones coming through the hotel booking API, although whether it is included depends on the plan you are on.

The usual way this works is that you load your own property into the system yourself, with its name, photos, room types, the rates you have agreed with the hotel, how many rooms you are allowed to sell on each date and your own cancellation rules. Once that is in place, your hotel appears in the same search results as the API hotels and your customer sees no difference at all. When somebody books it, the booking comes straight to you rather than to a supplier, so you are the one who has to confirm it with the property and make sure the room is really held.

Two things are worth knowing before you begin. The same hotel can sometimes show up twice, once from your own contract and once from a supplier, so you need to decide which one you want displayed, and most agents keep their own because the margin is better. Also, keeping your own rates and room availability up to date is manual work unless the property sends you regular updates, and an out of date allotment is the most common reason a room gets oversold.

Make a short list of the properties you actually hold contracts with, then check with us whether direct contracting is switched on for your plan and how many hotels you are allowed to load.
