Rental / booking for a period
A booking across a period: a card choice of the property, a date range and contact details. Built for rentals where check-in and check-out matter, not a single date.
Who it is for and when to run it
For short-term rentals and small hospitality: flat owners, glamping sites, cabins, guest houses without a booking engine. It also works for multi-day hire of equipment, campervans or boats.
Share the link in your listing or when a guest asks whether certain dates are free. The form collects the whole request, so you answer once instead of five times.
The form does not check availability. It takes the request and you confirm it. For a single date and time, the appointment booking template fits better.
What the template is made of
Every block in the order it sits in the builder. Branching decides which of them a given person actually sees.
- What are you booking? Cards
Cards for «Studio», «Apartment» and «House» with descriptions. Guests see the difference before choosing and don’t have to ask how many beds each one has.
- Dates of stay Date range
Dates of stay as a single date-range block. Check-in and check-out come from one calendar, and check-out can’t land before check-in.
- How many guests? Number
Guest count as a number. It decides which property fits and whether an extra bed costs more.
- What would you like to add to your stay? Multiple choice
Extras as multiple choice: breakfast, cleaning, parking, transfer, late check-out. A ready-made upsell list the guest ticks themselves.
- Which region are you travelling from Region
The region the guest travels from helps with transfers and shows where bookings come from. The region picker is a Pro block; delete it if you don’t need it.
- Guest name Short answer
Guest name is required, since the booking goes under it.
- Phone Phone
Phone is required: bookings get confirmed by call or message, and that is where the address and door code go.
- Email Email
Email is optional, for hosts who send confirmations or invoices from their own inbox.
- Special requests Long answer
Special requests: a late arrival, a cot, a dog. The things that otherwise come up at the last minute.
- Agreement to the booking terms Consent
Agreement to house rules and contact data processing, required, so the guest confirms the rules before booking.
How to adapt the template
-
Replace the cards with your own places: «Lakeside cabin», «Room with balcony», «Yurt for four». Put capacity and nightly price in each description.
-
Rewrite the extras to match what you really sell, with prices in the option text: «Breakfast, per guest».
-
Link your house rules in the consent block: check-in and check-out times, pets, smoking, deposit.
-
For equipment hire, rename «Dates of stay» to «Rental period» and turn guest count into number of units.
-
If families book often, add «How many children, and how old?» after the guest count.
How to read the results
Each response is a request for specific dates, so reply quickly. Route new responses to Telegram over a webhook and you will see them as they come in.
After a season, look at the extras chart. If most guests tick breakfast, fold it into the price; if nobody takes the transfer, drop it from the form.
Export to CSV and look at requested check-in dates. Weeks where requests arrive while you are already full tell you when to raise prices.
Common mistakes
- Promising automatic confirmation. The form doesn’t know what is free. Say on the final screen that the booking gets confirmed after you check.
- Leaving prices off the cards. Guests pick the house, then back out over cost, and both of you lose time.
- Hiding the rules. If a deposit or a no-pets rule surfaces after booking, cancellations follow.
- Requiring email. People on holiday talk in messengers.
Questions about the «Rental / booking for a period» template
Does the form check availability?
No. It collects a request with a date range, guest count and wishes, and you check availability yourself. For hosts with a few properties and no booking engine, that usually works fine: the request arrives in Telegram or your account and you confirm by message.
How do I take booking requests through a link?
Publish the form and paste the link into your listing, your profile or a reply to a guest. You can also print a QR code for the front desk. Responses land in your account, export to CSV and can be sent to a webhook.
Can I build a booking form for free?
Yes. The template opens on the free plan, which includes 5 surveys and 150 responses in total. It has one paid block, the region picker. Delete it or replace it with a plain «Where are you travelling from?» text field.
