Multi-property booking in a single transaction for large groups
Problem statement
Hosts with multiple properties cannot currently offer guests a way to book multiple properties in a single transaction. This is particularly challenging when accommodating large groups that exceed the capacity of a single property, or when operating a multi-property resort where guests need to secure multiple units for the same dates.
Current workaround
Hosts must direct guests to book each property separately through individual transactions. This requires guests to complete multiple checkout processes for what should be a single group booking.
Impact
- Lost bookings from guests who abandon the process due to complexity
- Extra time spent manually coordinating with guests to ensure all properties are booked
- Difficulty ensuring all required properties remain available for the same dates during the multi-step booking process
- Reduced competitiveness when launching or operating multi-property resorts
Proposed solution
Enable guests to select multiple properties (e.g., from a search or property list), add them to a cart, and complete checkout in a single transaction. This would ensure all properties are reserved together for the same dates with one payment.
Unlock
This feature would enable hosts to:
- Capture more large group bookings that currently go elsewhere
- Reduce manual coordination work with guests
- Launch and operate multi-property resorts more effectively
- Provide a seamless booking experience for groups needing multiple properties
