For venues and spaces

Book your rooms, studios and lofts by the hour

Holuway Spaces gives a venue an hourly calendar, requests that hold the card, inquiries with versioned quotes, add-ons and recurring series, and a listing where customers look for a space.

Space bookings in Holuway: requests waiting for an answer, each with its date, hours, party, price and the time left to answer.

01 · The calendar

Every space, hour by hour

Day and week views of every space, with bookings, requests, holds, blocks, site visits and time taken elsewhere. Drag to move, sweep to block, and drag an inquiry onto a slot to hold the time for it.

  • Double booking prevented by the database itself
  • Setup and cleanup buffers that block the calendar without being charged
  • A deep clean or private event blocked out in two moves

02 · Prices

Hourly, daily, evenings and weekends

Price by the hour, minute by minute, with evening and weekend windows, a day rate, a cleaning fee once, and pop-ups by the day or the week with your licence terms.

  • Add-ons per booking, per hour or per person
  • Counted resources, so the last projector cannot be sold twice
  • A refundable deposit shown apart from the price

03 · Inquiries

Questions, visits and quotes in one place

Customers ask questions or book a 30-minute site visit. Send a quote; a new quote supersedes the last, and the price is locked when the customer accepts.

  • Hold time on the calendar while a quote is open
  • Messages in the same inbox as your other products

04 · Regulars

A weekly class as one booking

A customer can ask for the same time every week or every two weeks, up to 26 dates, with one card hold for the total. Accept or decline the series at once; after that, each date stands on its own.

  • Each date can be moved or cancelled without touching the others

Not in Holuway Spaces yet

Said plainly, so you can plan around it.

  • A venue website or booking engine of your own: customers book through your Holuway Spaces listing.
  • Instant booking: every booking is a request you accept.
  • Collecting the refundable deposit through Holuway: it is shown, and you take it.

Commission only when Holuway brings the guest

Bookings you bring cost no commission: your website and booking engine, walk-ins, phone and email bookings, and your own channels. Holuway charges a commission only on bookings from the Holuway marketplace, and the guest pays no service fee.

Bookings you bring

No commission

Your website, booking engine, desk, phone and email.

Bookings from other channels

No Holuway fee

A channel's booking carries that channel's own commission, never Holuway's.

Bookings from the Holuway marketplace

12% on Free, 12% on Pro, 12% on Business

Taken from the payout of each booking, refunded in proportion with a refund. No guest service fee.

Card money you take for your own bookings through Holuway carries no Holuway fee.

Card processing (2.9% + $0.30 for standard US cards) is charged by Stripe to your own Stripe account.

Questions, answered

When is the customer charged?

The card is authorised when the customer asks to book and charged when you accept. If you decline, or the request lapses, the hold is released.

Can my calendar sync with Google or Outlook?

Yes, by iCal in both directions, refreshed about every hour.

Do hotels and venues share one account?

Yes. One Holuway workspace can run Stays and Spaces side by side, with one inbox and one team.
