Direct bookings
Booking page
Take direct bookings without a website of your own and without commission. Guests request a stay on your page at stayfellow.com/s/, and you accept or decline within 24 hours.
Preparing the apartments
- 1Open the apartment and, on the Profile tab, enter its address, NTAK registration number, capacity, Hungarian and English description and amenities.
- 2Upload the photos there too (up to 20). The first one is the cover; drag them or use the arrows to change the order. The browser shrinks them before uploading.
- 3On the Settings tab, set a nightly price and the tourist tax.
Setting up and publishing the page
- 1Open Booking page. The page address comes from your company name; you can change it if the new one is free.
- 2Write the page title and the introduction in Hungarian and English.
- 3Tick the apartments to show on the page and set their order.
- 4Under My account → Booking terms, set once what the page, the guest emails and the payment terms use. Operator and contact: name, address, tax number, company or sole trader registration number, registering authority, competent conciliation body, contact details. Payment terms: the percentage paid up front, advance (refunded per your terms on cancellation) or earnest money (Hungarian Civil Code 6:185), due dates, payment methods, bank account. House rules and cancellation in Hungarian and English; put a phone number reachable around the clock in the house rules and call a cancellation fee a forfeit (bánatpénz). The Booking page shows which ones are done.
- 5Use Preview to see the page before you publish it. Publish stays unavailable while something required is missing; the list at the top tells you what.
Good to know: The Hungarian page is on stayfellow.hu, the English one on stayfellow.com. If you change the address after publishing, old links stop working.
Accepting requests
The guest picks dates and guests and sees the full price with the tourist tax, for a euro-priced apartment in forints too (at the MNB rate). Before sending they get the required information: advance or earnest money, payment methods, no right of withdrawal, complaints and the conciliation body. The dates are held for 24 hours, on the channels too.
You and your managers get an email, and the request shows at the top of Today and on the calendar (striped). Accept or decline it on the booking page, with a reason if you like.
On acceptance the guest gets a confirmation with the price, deposit and balance, bank account, payment reference, house rules and guest link. If you do not decide within 24 hours, the request expires and the dates are free again.
Good to know: There is no online card payment yet; guests pay by bank transfer or on site, and you record the payment.
