Create a URL that links directly to a specific room type in your booking engine. When visitors open this link, they'll go straight to the room type you want to showcase.
You can use room type URLs for your booking engine to:
Link directly to specific room types in your marketing e-mails
Share your premium rooms on social media
Create targeted landing pages for specific room types
Direct corporate clients to your business-friendly rooms
To create a room type URL, you'll need to:
Find your room type ID using Inspect/Developer Tools in your web browser.
Add the room type ID to your booking engine URL.
Find your room type ID
To link directly to a room type, you'll need to find its unique ID number. To do this, follow these steps:
Open your booking engine page.
Right-click anywhere on the page and select Inspect or Developer Tools.
In the Developer Tools panel, click on the Network tab.
Look for the network responses.
Search for the room.
Find the room type ID number in the response data.
Create your room type URL
Once you have the room type ID, create your URL using this format:
For properties in Asia or the Pacific:
book-directonline.com/properties/[propertyname]?room_type=[ID]
For properties in Europe, Middle East, Africa or America:
direct-book.com/properties/[propertyname]?room_type=[ID]
💡 Replace [propertyname] with your property name and [ID] with your room type ID number.
For example, if your room type ID is 233602, your URL might look like this:
https://book-directonline.com/properties/propertyname?room_type=233602
💡 Use promo codes to create custom URLS
You can also use promotion codes to create custom URLs for your booking engine. When guests click these links, they'll see only the specific rooms and rates associated with that promo code, with or without a discount.
