Yes, the hotel booking API can provide you with room photos, descriptions, amenities and other details before your customer books. This helps your customers make a confident choice about which room type suits them best, and it reduces the chance they will cancel after seeing the actual room.

The information available through the API depends on what the hotel suppliers provide. Some hotels give very detailed descriptions with multiple photos from different angles, while others provide basic information only. You can display whatever details come through the API on your white label portal, so your customers see the room photos and features before they click the book button.

If a hotel does not provide photos or certain details through the API, you may not be able to show them to your customers from that supplier. Some travel businesses solve this by adding their own photos or notes to supplement what the API returns, but that requires extra work on your side.

Check what room information your hotel suppliers are sending through the API by running a test search for a few popular hotels in your area and seeing what photos and details appear in the results.
