CultBooking is fully integrated in the Cultuzz product suite
The CultBooking tool is a fully flexible and adjustable solution. You can manage the tool yourself or engage Cultuzz to customize CultBooking to your own specifications. Once registered, you will receive your personal account on the Cultuzz Website. There you will find all your availabilities arranged clearly in a calendar and the possibility to administer these with a few clicks. It also allows you to combine room categories and different seasons easily and arrange according to the price flexibly. If necessary you can close your property with just one click to avoid over booking. In addition CultBooking has an effective system for the avoidance of prank reservations. All functions are programmed in a way that makes them simple and intuitive to use, although efficient enough to fulfill your requirements (room reservations, packages, company rates, etc.)
CultBooking is directly connected to various Property Management Systems (PMS)
A characteristic of CultBooking is the direct connectivity to numerous PMS and CRS systems such as Velox, Medusa, HS/3 or Hotline (complete list of PMS partners). If a hotelier uses one of these systems, the availabilities and rates are supplied automatically from the hotel to their own web site and detailed reservations are returned via CultBooking automatically to the hotel. Therefore a key advantage for the hotelier is a massive reduction in data administration, previously a costly and somewhat manual process that was often a source of errors, according to the company.
CultBooking is Open Source and free of charge
Cultbooking is an Open Source product and, therefore, free of charge. However, the price for your personal CultBooking offer depends completely on which services we are assigned to take on for you. You can do the setup of the system on your own or transfer it to us. We charge for this service EUR 249,00. This is a once only fee. Cultuzz provides when requested, additional services and support.

Since release CultBooking 1.2 is published, the graphic user interface of CultBooking is completely independent from the booking functionality.
