New Features August 2023

The Hotel-Spider development team is tirelessly writing code to make our platform better for you. Alongside many behind-the-scenes changes, such as the updated login logic and streamlined procedures in the reservation process on the Web-Booking-Engine (WBE), we would also like to share some new features with you.  

Services with a selectable number  

The Hotel-Spider WBE now also supports quantity data for services that can be booked in units. For example, if your guest wants to book a rental bike when making a reservation, they can now specify exactly how many bikes they need. This will give you more details before the guest arrives. 

Standard events from GA4  

Google Analytics 4 is the most widely used web analytics tool. To provide our users with an even more seamless data-driven working environment, we have now also integrated the standard events from Google Analytics 4 into the WBE. This enables precise tracking and analysis of your guests' booking behavior without the need for any additional configurations. 

The detailed step-by-step instructions can be found here.

Trivago free booking links are online

Trivago is offering a new service which allows you, the hotelier, to display your rooms with non paid advertising. We have now activated this option for all of our Spider-Booking WBE customers. Unfortunately, this option is currently still geographically limited (UK, DE, ES, IT, FR, IE, SE, FI) and you will need to activate it manually. Contact our support team if you need help to activate this function.  

New status page for the Hotel-Spider system 

We have launched a new online status page to promptly and effectively update our customers about our system status. This page provides information about our current technical processes, such as data transfers and imports. You can also subscribe to status updates via email, SMS or RSS feed. To do this, simply click on the "Subscribe" button on the status page.
