I put together the web site for my mums cottage called Tigh-na-Acha in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, Scotland. For some time now we had been looking for a booking calendar which met our requirements which are:
- Work on a weekly basis, daily calendars just make life too complex for everyone.
- Show which weeks are available and which are booked.
- Be really simple for mum to update whether at home or on the go.
- Allow bookings to be taken online.
- Take payment online via credit card.
- Have some ability to customise the calendar.
- Be hosted on another site, we don’t want to download it and keep having to upgrade.
- Remember the details of people who have previously booked and those who have shown interest.
- Preferably be free.
So recently I found what we had been looking for in WeeklyBooking.com.
This simple online, hosted calendar does exactly what we need, and for a couple of £ per month will integrate with PayPal so that we can accept online bookings from anyone. At first I thought that this would only let people with PayPal accounts pay, but it seems that anyone with a valid credit card can use this system.
WeeklyBooking.com works perfectly and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.
You can see this in action by going to the Booking section of Tigh-na-Acha.
