Frequently asked questions
How much does Bookerville cost per year?
Pricing is per property or unit, not per user. Published examples are $798.59 per year for one property, $1,370.20 per year for ten, and $5,882.00 per year for 100. You can pay monthly, quarterly or annually, there is no setup fee, and subscribing for two or more years earns an automatic 10% discount. You can prepay up to three years to lock in current pricing.
Is there a free trial and how long does setup take?
Every account starts as a free trial: registering is free and each new property gets 30 days of free service with no credit card required, and you can request more time. Onboarding is self-serve through the vendor's how-to videos, which walk through setting up a property, rates, email templates and contract text, so most small operators can be running bookings within a week or two.
Can we keep manual control over which bookings appear on the calendar?
Yes. A Manager-Centric calendar mode makes the calendar single-user and only the owner can modify it; guest requests do not block dates publicly. You can also enable an Allow List so only approved email addresses can request dates, uncheck public listing to keep a property out of Bookerville search, and block dates by creating maintenance or owner-occupied bookings.
How are guest payments handled?
Guests are presented with PayPal and/or Authorize.net buttons to pay any pre-payment you configure. They have twenty minutes to pay; Bookerville is notified in real time, and an unpaid booking request is removed from the calendar and converted back into a booking request so the dates stay available and you are alerted by email.
Does Bookerville work for larger portfolios and multiple channels?
Yes. The vendor positions the product for 1 to 1,000s of properties, including a dedicated offering for large-scale vacation-rental businesses and condo or hotel front-desk operations. Channel-manager connectivity is offered for distributing inventory, and reporting and a consolidated master calendar support multi-unit operations.
