Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can. As a property owner you need to acquire a link to your individual property. You can do this by registering with www.BookMyProperty.com and then adding your property details. Once you have acquired the URL link this can be added to your own website or emailed to friends/family.

Example:
You can include an HTML link as shown below (replace 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 with your unique property id).

<a href="http://www.BookMyProperty.com/show.aspx?id={00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}">On-Line Booking</a>

TIP: You can send the web link when you view your property details. Enter an email address and click the Send button. It is useful to send the link to your own email address so you can then forward it on to friends.

You can only view properties you have been 'invited' to book by the property owner. If you have been invited by more than one owner, and have made bookings, you can click on the 'View My Bookings' button to see all your bookings. If you have not made a booking you need to click on the link which the owner emailed to you.

At present you must add all holiday properties into the system separately. As an owner you can register multiple properties.

On the Property Details page you can click on the History button to view a list of people you have sent emails to. This list includes any addresses you entered into the yellow email link box, and the addresses of any clients who have made a booking. (In the future this will be enhanced to allow owners to send a bulk email to all clients in this list.)

When you set up your property details, add your agent’s email address into the notification email box. This ensures that your agent is notified each time a client makes a booking and it is confirmed. Alternatively, you can give your agent the normal property link which will allow them to view the booking calendar for your property.

No, this is not possible. The booking system only allows bookings to be made on a per night basis.

This is because Saturday is generally the first night that people start their holidays.

This is because www.BookMyProperty.com is run on a server in New York, and the server time is used rather than your local time. This does not effect your ability to use the website at all.

Once uploaded, the photos and documents are displayed alphabetically by filename. Therefore to force a particular photo to appear large, precede the filename with a number or a character such as underscore ‘_’ which sorts before the numbers and letters.

Your browser has an upload limit of 3MB. Anything larger will not work. Try and keep photos to a couple of hundred kilobytes, anything larger takes too long to download. The server automatically resizes bitmaps on demand. You can only upload Microsoft Word (.DOC), Adobe Acrobat (.PDF) and JPEG photos (.JPG). PDF is probably the best format for documents, as the files tend to be much smaller than .doc files.

View the Booking Calendar and hover your mouse over the grey (reserved) or green (confirmed) bookings. The name of the client is displayed as a tool tip. In addition, property owners (and people that are included in the property notification email box, such as property agents) have the added privilege of being able to click on the actual booking to see further client details.

The client and the property owner is notified by email, plus any other users that are included in the notification email box (such as the property agent).

If you have any features you would like us to include please let us know. Email your ideas to info@BookMyProperty.com.

- The ability for clients to rate the properties that they have stayed in.
- The ability for clients to upload photos and comments into a 'guest book' facility.
