One calendar for every booking site.

For lodges, cabins, and small hotels listed on Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, and Hipcamp. I'm a Cloudbeds Ambassador: I connect your property personally and help you move over, so a booking on one site closes those dates on the rest.

On the call I look at your listings and tell you what the switch involves.

Who it's for

Cabins & lodges

Several units, listed on several sites at once.

B&Bs & inns

A few rooms and no time to watch four calendars.

Small hotels & motels

More rooms and more sites, so more chances to double-book.

Campgrounds & RV sites

Hipcamp next to Airbnb and your own website.

Separate calendars sell the same night twice.

Before: every site keeps its own calendar

A guest books Saturday on Airbnb. Booking.com doesn't know, so it sells Saturday to someone else.

Saturday: two guests, one room.

After: one Cloudbeds calendar

The Airbnb booking lands in Cloudbeds, and Saturday closes on every other site.

Saturday: booked once, closed everywhere else.

Masood's Lodge

Cabins in the redwoods along Big Basin Way, listed on several booking sites at once. I connected the lodge to Cloudbeds personally, linked its Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, and Hipcamp listings to one calendar, and set it up so guests can also book direct on the lodge's own website.

Me

The hands-on part, done with you.

Before you switch.

Do I have to stop using Airbnb or Booking.com?

No. You keep every listing. Cloudbeds connects them to one calendar, so they stop competing for the same nights.

Can guests book directly on my website?

Yes. Cloudbeds includes a booking page you can link from your website, the way Masood's Lodge does, so direct guests book into the same calendar.

What happens to reservations I already have?

I help move them into Cloudbeds as part of the switch, so upcoming stays stay on the calendar.

Are you part of Cloudbeds?

No. I'm an independent consultant and a Cloudbeds Ambassador: I recommend Cloudbeds and set it up with you. For account or billing questions, Cloudbeds' own support is the right place.

Do you build websites too?

Yes. That's most of what I do. See recent work.

Tell me about your property.

How many rooms or cabins, which booking sites you're on, and what you use today. I'll set up a free call to look at your listings.
