Cloudbeds is a cloud-based hotel management platform which includes tools for managing reservations, availability, rates, distribution channels, payments, guests, housekeeping, and more. The system is suitable for use by owners and managers of hotels, hostels, inns, bed & breakfasts, vacation rentals, and other hospitality properties.
The myfrontdesk module of Cloudbeds allows users to manage rooms and reservations, with a drag-and-drop calendar, room and bed assignments, invoicing, accounting tools, housekeeping management system, and guest registration cards. Users can define custom policies, fees, and taxes on a per-room or per-item basis, and select which payment options to accept. The myallocator module automatically maps inventory from Cloudbeds to booking engines, online travel agencies (OTAs), and other distribution sites, maintaining a central inventory pool which is automatically updated when a booking is made, to control availability and reduce overbookings. Users can set channel-specific pricing, and convert rates into their desired currency for each channel.
Cloudbeds also includes mybookings, which provides users with a dedicated booking engine, allowing them to take direct reservations through their website or Facebook page. Promotional rate plans, coupon codes, and discounts can be managed and processed through the booking engine, and credit card payments can be processed through integration with a range of payment gateways. Custom emails can be sent out to guests automatically for bookings, and users can customize the booking engine to match the branding of their website. The mygroup module gives users tools for managing multiple properties, with group-level analytics, a unified booking engine, and more.
