Can my hotel booking API show the room type and bed arrangement before my customer books?

Yes, a hotel booking API can usually show the room type and available bed information before your customer completes a booking. This may include details such as a double bed, twin beds, a sofa bed, or a choice between different room categories.

The amount of detail depends on what the hotel supplier sends through the API. Some suppliers provide clear bed arrangements and room descriptions, while others use general room names or leave certain details out. Similar rooms may also be described differently by different suppliers, so the information may not always look consistent across every property.

A requested bed type is not always guaranteed unless the booking result clearly says it is confirmed. In some cases, the customer can state a preference, but the hotel makes the final decision based on availability at check in. The room details should also be checked again before payment because availability and conditions can change between the search and booking stages.

Ask glideFares which room and bed details are supplied by your chosen hotel connection, then test several properties to see how that information appears in your booking portal.
