Accommodation Guru System Updates, Fixes and Enhancements

October 15, 2009 in Updates by admin | No comments

Multiple Images for Rooms: Now permitted.

Net Amounts: Where net amounts have been applied, the system will now only send a ‘net amount’ information on the request and confirmation so that the supplier is not aware of any applied margins. This can be done on a property-by-property basis.

Translation Issues – We are constantly trying to improve translations. Should you pick up any glaring errors, please advise and we will endeavour to amend.

Service Type facility has been added. Examples:

All-inclusive
European Plan
European Plan and All-Inclusive

Randomizer for List Manager – You can randomise the items on List Manager on the home page. If this is something you would like to do, please advise and Accommodation Guru will assist you.

Reviews and Guest Ratings – This has been moved to a more prominent position on the results page.

Accommodation Details Page – The layout on this page has been updated as follows:

We have moved the property description to the top of the page to improve SEO friendliness.
We have also improved the title tags, meta tags and H1s for better SEO.
Last-minute specials are now displayed in red to stand out.
A new facility is now in configuration to switch off all buttons – Search, Map, Translation and Exchange Rates.

Booking Confirmation Emails – These now show the source of the booking – e.g. main site, white label or agent to the supplier and administrator. It allows you to recognise when to pay different commissions based on the source of a booking. Once a booking has been confirmed, the supplier’s phone number and email address is added to the confirmation email.

Problem with Inclusions running into Date – Fixed.

SMS/Text – Responses – Respond Y or N; Check-in Date: Establishment Name; Guest Name (2A); Full Details on email. Total price has now been added.

Test Mode – Anybody who registers whilst you are in ‘test mode’ will now have an email sent to the administrator.

Field Modifications – Extra fields have been added:

IBA Swift
ABA Number options for US Bank account details
Bank Account Details field extended

Inclusions Hover – Field length extended.

Property Types – Field length extended.

Room Attributes and Add Text Problem – Fixed.

Google Local Business Volume Export for Upload Problem – Fixed.

Enable a User Error Message Bug– Fixed.

Reservations now need to be made in a continuous date order. You are no longer able to leave a day out.

Additional Custom Note function is now available on the final itinerary page. For example, should you wish your guests to check out car hire once they have finished making an accommodation reservation, you may now add some wordage as well as a link. This is done in Language/Customizations and most likely requires Accommodation Guru’s assistance.

Should you wish to avail yourself with this new facility, please contact us for help.
