Vacation rental booking software

• keyboard_arrow_downHow is Anolla different from standard vacation rental booking software?
  Most vacation rental calendars only offer date selection and availability display. Anolla is a comprehensive all-in-one holiday rental revenue management platform that unifies holiday home booking management, guest communication, channel management and automated pricing in one system. Unlike static calendar solutions, Anolla uses AI-based booking logic that factors in seasonality, demand and property characteristics. Anolla’s dynamic pricing engine optimises nightly rates across all booking channels. The platform supports both hourly rental of leisure spaces and multi-day vacation rental packages in parallel within the same central booking view.
• keyboard_arrow_downDoes Anolla support hourly and multi-day vacation rentals at the same time?
  Yes, this is one of Anolla’s main advantages in the vacation rental and short-term letting sector. Unlike many classic booking platforms, Anolla does not force an accommodation provider to choose between a pure day-rental or purely hourly-rental model. Under the same accommodation account you can manage sunrise sauna sessions as hourly rentals and multi-day overnight packages for holiday homes, glamping units, villas or cottages. Variable-duration accommodation packages (e.g. weekend deals, extensions, late check-out) can be configured with flexible rules. All bookings—whether spa sessions, seminar rooms or family holiday packages—are consolidated into a single vacation rental booking calendar, making it ideal for hybrid accommodation models such as holiday villages, event-space holiday homes and combined rentals (accommodation + activities).
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does the Anolla AI assistant reduce administrative workload for vacation rentals and lower the risk of overbooking?
  Anolla’s automated guest service AI assistant responds to vacation rental inquiries 24/7 across all major channels. This virtual host automatically handles up to 79.3%¹ of typical vacation home booking questions—prices, availability, house rules, check-in and check-out times, pet policies, extra beds and similar topics. The AI assistant covers up to 52.4%¹ of first-line technical support, such as granting access to the booking portal or resending payment links, without the involvement of the accommodation team. Automated guest communication—confirmation emails, arrival instructions, house information and departure reminders—reduces daily property management time by up to 39.3%¹. The result is less manual data entry, a significantly lower risk of overbooking and minimal human errors in calendar management and guest communication.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla's dynamic pricing module help vacation rentals and short-term stays optimize their nightly rates?
  The Anolla dynamic pricing module automates revenue management and pricing strategy for vacation rentals across different channels such as a direct website, Airbnb, Booking.com and other short-term rental platforms. The property owner can set up flexible pricing rules based on season, day of the week, length of stay, early-bird discounts and last-minute bookings. The system automatically applies lower rates to low-demand dates to increase occupancy, and optimizes nightly prices during high season and major events to maximize rental income. Dynamic pricing helps keep the same units competitively priced both on the direct booking site and across different portals, while also increasing average daily rate and the overall profitability of the property.
• keyboard_arrow_downIs Anolla suitable both for a single holiday home and a multi-location accommodation chain?
  Yes, Anolla is built to scale from a single holiday home up to a portfolio of properties spread across multiple regions. Small operators can launch a booking page for their vacation home with a powerful free plan, managing a single cottage, glamping tent, or apartment. Larger portfolios with multiple locations—holiday parks, guesthouses, lodging centers, and villa collections—can use a centralized management console that brings all properties under one roof. The platform lets you add unlimited units, managers, and cleaning teams and apply role-based access for each property or location. This way, the owner can share calendar access only with the team members responsible for specific units, cleaning schedules, or maintenance work.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhich tools and portals does Anolla integrate with for vacation rental management?
  Anolla is built on an API-first architecture, enabling vacation rental booking software to integrate with core payment, marketing, and analytics solutions. For payment management, there is a direct integration with the Stripe payment solution, allowing you to take deposits and security holds from guests both on your own website and via booking links. On the marketing and analytics side, Anolla supports integrating Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Meta Pixel to measure the booking journey, advertising campaign ROI, and channel performance. Where needed, vacation rental raw data can be exported to BI and machine learning tools for detailed revenue analysis and occupancy forecasting. Anolla also offers an open API and integrations with other property management systems, enabling you to connect existing accounting, housekeeping, or smart lock solutions into a single vacation rental platform.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat does Anolla’s free vacation rental package include and what do the paid modules add?
  The free Anolla package gives a vacation rental owner all the core features needed to start professional short-term letting: an online booking form, an availability calendar, booking management and basic guest notifications. This solution is ideal for a single holiday home, a small guesthouse or a new glamping operator who wants to test their accommodation business without fixed costs. Paid modules add unlimited automation – for example automatic pricing rules, more detailed guest messaging templates and cleaning checklists – plus extended integrations with portals and marketing tools. Paid packages also include loyalty features such as discount codes for repeat guests, exclusive direct-booking offers and branded booking pages that help drive more direct reservations without commissions.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow does Anolla’s usage-based pricing reduce financial risks in the vacation rental business?
  Anolla’s usage-based pricing is designed with the cash flow of short-term rental owners and vacation rental managers in mind. A vacation rental provider does not have to pay high fixed monthly fees during periods with fewer bookings or when the season is in a downturn. Platform costs automatically scale according to actual booking activity, making the solution particularly suitable for seasonal properties such as summer holiday homes, winter ski resorts, or event-based short-term rentals. This way, the booking software does not lock the business into long, expensive contracts, and the vacation rental portfolio can grow gradually along with increasing occupancy and revenue.
• keyboard_arrow_downHow quickly can I get my vacation rental up and running with Anolla?
  Getting started with Anolla typically takes just a few minutes, and the entire setup is guided by a context-aware AI assistant that helps you configure vacation rental descriptions, pricing rules, availability and booking policies. The platform’s ease of use is rated 5/5¹ on Capterra, which means that most vacation rental managers master the key functions of the booking calendar and pricing within the first half hour¹. This allows you to quickly launch online booking both for new properties and for existing rentals that are moving from manual calendars to professional vacation rental software.
• keyboard_arrow_downWhat makes Anolla’s vacation rental platform a future-proof holiday rental solution?
  Anolla is built on an extensible modular architecture that evolves with the trends and technologies of the vacation rental market. Its cloud-based infrastructure and AI-driven learning enable the platform to continuously improve booking logic, pricing algorithms and guest communication automation. Unlike rigid booking systems, Anolla is built around a powerful API that makes it possible to add new integrations with tourism portals, payment solutions and smart accommodation technology. The platform also supports an IoT ecosystem that includes smart door locks, access code distribution, equipment rental management (e.g. bicycles, SUP boards, saunas) and various sensors that help monitor energy consumption and property usage. This architecture ensures that the vacation rental owner can always use the latest holiday rental tools and keep their accommodation portfolio one step ahead of competitors.
