How to use Booking Notes?
Clear communication is at the heart of successful hotel operations. It lays the foundation for outstanding guest experiences and ensures your team works smoothly and professionally behind the scenes. This article teaches you the steps to take to create and manage your Notes.
Two types of messages
We differentiate two types of notes:
-
Remarks:
Added during the booking process when the booking is made via online channels.If an Online Travel Agency (OTA) includes details like a Virtual Credit Card (VCC), or if the guest shares specific comments during booking — you will find those under Remarks.
-
Notes:
For internal use only.Any comment that is necessary to avoid misunderstandings or to point out specifics in regards to the payment, guests needs etc.
* Guests will not be able to see these notes, yet always be correct and professional.

The Notes Feature can be accessed in three locations:
