Portals do not charge for bringing you the guest: they charge for every night that guest spends at your property. The better you do, the more you pay. Your own engine inverts that relationship: you grow, not the commission.
Holdesk is used by people who, on top of managing, also work the front desk. That is why the dashboard gets to the point and needs no training.
A complete management and booking system, built for independent properties in Cabezuela.
Paste a snippet of code into any website and your guests book without leaving your site. Works with WordPress, Wix, Squarespace and plain HTML.
Monthly view by room type — rooms, apartments or houses. Edit rates, open or close dates and set minimum stays. Bulk editing across date ranges.
A full list with filters by status, dates and guest. Confirm, cancel, create manual bookings (phone/walk-in) and mark no-shows.
Create non-refundable, breakfast-included or seasonal rates. Each property type can have several plans active at once.
Temporary holds during checkout plus atomic confirmation in the database. Selling the same unit twice is impossible.
Automatic traveller registration as required by the Spanish Ministry of the Interior. Entry forms, submission to the MIR API and tracking of what is still pending.
Invite your team with distinct roles. The owner gets full access; staff get access limited to day-to-day operations.
Confirmation to the guest and notification to the owner on every booking. Templates branded with your property, fully customisable.
The widget inherits your property's logo and primary colour. Your guests see your brand, not ours. Fully integrated into your website.
Create and edit your property types: name, description, maximum occupancy, base rate, number of units, photos and amenities.
A daily summary of arrivals, departures, occupancy and revenue. A view of the latest bookings and alerts for the day's pending check-outs.
For multi-property operators. Manage every property, subscription plans, global billing and a complete audit log.
The widget automatically detects the guest's browser language and shows the booking form in their own language, with no extra configuration.
Sign up, add your property and create your types — rooms, apartments, houses — with rates, photos and amenities. Set up whatever rate plans you need: standard, non-refundable, breakfast included…
Go to the "Widget / Embed" section of the dashboard, copy the 2-line snippet and paste it into any page of your site. Works with WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or plain HTML.
Your guests search for dates, choose and book directly on your website. You get an email notification and see the booking in the calendar instantly.
A clean, fast dashboard for managing bookings, availability, rates and staff from any device. Designed for daily use, not for weeks of training.
More than 20 modules built into a single platform, with no plugins or third-party providers. Tap any of them to see exactly what it does and how it helps. All available to any property in Cabezuela.
The Holdesk control panel: your key figures in real time the moment you sign in.
The home screen greets you with every critical figure of the day in real time: today's arrivals and departures, occupancy rate, revenue for the month and bookings awaiting confirmation. It is designed for the front desk: what matters first, without endless menus.
A visual grid with one row per property type and one column per day. At a glance you see the rate, the free units and the status of every date. It is the operational heart of Holdesk and where you will spend most of your time.
A list with filters by status, dates and guest, plus a detail page for every booking. You can create manual bookings for walk-ins or phone calls, amend them, cancel them applying your policy, and mark them as no-show or completed.
An embeddable widget you paste into your own website with two lines of code. Your guests search dates, see real availability and book without leaving your domain or paying commission to a middleman. It loads in an isolated iframe so your site's design never clashes with the widget's.
A private portal, with a unique link per booking, where the guest completes check-in from their phone before arriving: they record the details of every traveller (in the exact format SES Hospedajes requires) and can add extras. It cuts queues at reception and leaves the paperwork done.
Sync your availability with Airbnb, Booking, Vrbo and other calendars over iCal, in both directions. You export a link per property type so the OTAs can read your bookings, and import their calendars so their bookings block your availability automatically. That is how you avoid overbooking across channels.
When a guest searches for dates with no availability, instead of losing them the widget offers to add them to the waiting list. If a date frees up, the dashboard flags it with a "There's room!" indicator and you can notify the guest by email in one click.
Create sellable add-on services — breakfast, parking, late checkout, cot, experiences — priced per stay, per night, per guest or a combination. They are offered during online check-in, at the moment the guest is most likely to say yes.
Generate percentage or fixed-amount discount codes, with a validity period, a maximum number of uses and a minimum stay. They apply automatically in the booking engine and keep count of how often they have been used. Ideal for campaigns, early bookings or loyalty.
On top of each property type you define different sellable rates: standard, non-refundable, breakfast included… Each plan has its own price adjustment and cancellation policy. It is the classic lever for raising conversion and average revenue.
A kanban-style board with your units organised by status: dirty, in progress, clean, inspected or out of service. Tasks are generated automatically from the day's departures and you can assign them to individual staff. You know instantly what is ready for the next check-in.
Define each type with its description, photos, amenities, maximum occupancy, base rate and number of units. On creation, Holdesk automatically generates availability for the next 365 days, ready to sell. And it uses your word: if you rent apartments, the whole dashboard says "apartments", not "rooms".
Integration with the Spanish Ministry of the Interior API for the traveller report that is compulsory in Spain. Register the travellers on each booking and submit them to SES, automatically on registration or batched for later. The dashboard shows how many are still pending.
Invite your team and assign roles (owner or staff). Each user signs in to the dashboard with their own account, and housekeeping tasks can be assigned to specific people. Everything is recorded in an audit log.
The metrics the big chains use, within reach of an independent property: occupancy, ADR (average daily rate), RevPAR (revenue per available room), average length of stay and the pace of the next 30 days. Holdesk analyses your occupancy and suggests raising or lowering rates, and you can apply every suggestion to the calendar with a single button.
Reports ready for day-to-day work and for the accountant: night audit with arrivals, departures and in-house; revenue by channel and by property type; occupancy over a date range; and where your guests come from. All exportable to CSV to open in Excel.
Record the payments on each booking (cash, card, transfer), handle refunds and track payment status. A panel showing total collected, outstanding and refunded. And if you connect your Redsys terminal, the guest pays by card when booking — the full amount or just a deposit — and the money lands in your bank account without passing through Holdesk.
Check your current plan, your usage against its limits and your invoices. Upgrade or downgrade whenever you like, with no lock-in. Holdesk charges a flat monthly fee: 0% commission per booking.
A CRM that builds each guest's profile from their bookings: stay history, nights, total spend and average ticket. Flag your VIPs, add notes and tags, and manage marketing consent. Knowing who comes back is the cheapest way to grow.
Create email templates with variables ({guest_name}, dates, property) and let Holdesk send them on its own: a welcome message in the days before arrival and a thank-you after checkout. You can also send manual campaigns to guest segments.
Request reviews from your guests after their stay with a unique link by email. The guest rates from 1 to 5 and leaves a comment, and you decide what to publish, hide or reply to from the dashboard. Turn good experiences into social proof for your website.
A documented REST API with keys and granular permissions (scopes) to read availability, properties and bookings, or create bookings from your own applications. Generate and revoke keys from the dashboard, with a record of last use.
The booking engine is ready for more than 35 languages, so every guest books in their own. Each property sets its default language and currency. Essential for attracting international travellers without friction.
Three layers of defence guarantee you never sell one unit too many: temporary holds while the guest completes their booking, an atomic database confirmation that checks and reserves in a single operation, and idempotency keys that prevent duplicates from double clicks or network retries.
For operators with several properties: manage every property, plan and subscription from one central panel, with an MRR view, a cross-tenant audit log and platform-wide settings.
The widget loads in an isolated iframe so your site's CSS never clashes with Holdesk's. Your guests book without leaving your domain.
Holdesk goes further than a booking widget. It includes the tools independent properties need to meet their legal obligations and operate with peace of mind.
Meet your Ministry of the Interior obligations automatically. Holdesk submits entry forms to the MIR API, keeps the submission history and alerts you when travellers are still to be registered. Valid for hotels, guesthouses and holiday apartments in Spain.
Temporary holds during checkout (the guest has 10 minutes to confirm), a conditional atomic UPDATE in the database (double booking under concurrency is impossible) and idempotency keys that prevent duplicate submissions. The same architecture the big players use.
A multi-tenant architecture with a shared database and complete isolation per property. Each property sees only its own data. The operator has a global view from the Super-Admin panel, with an audit log of every sensitive action.
The widget shows your property's logo and primary colour. Your guests never know they are using Holdesk. Configurable from the dashboard in real time: any change appears immediately in the embedded widget.
Every endpoint the widget uses is public and documented: availability, temporary holds, booking creation and status lookup. Build your own front end or integrate with your existing management system.
Holdesk is under active development. These are the features on the way, prioritised by what properties ask for most.
Online payment already works with the Redsys terminal. Stripe will follow, for those without a bank terminal, with the same deposit, balance and refund flow.
Two-way sync with Airbnb, Booking.com and any OTA that supports iCal. Prevents overbooking across channels.
RevPAR, ADR, occupancy by period, revenue by property type, booking source and seasonal trends.
Automatic pricing rules by occupancy, lead time and season. Yield management within reach of small properties.
Widget in 35+ languages: all of Spain's co-official languages and the main European ones. Automatic browser detection. Multiple currencies on the way.
Manage arrivals, review bookings and update availability from your phone. Push notifications for new bookings.
Stay history, a loyalty programme, fast booking for returning guests and preference management.
Confirmations, pre-arrival reminders and post-stay follow-ups by WhatsApp and SMS, as well as email.
All three packages include the whole of Holdesk. The only thing that changes is how many properties you manage. No commission per booking and no lock-in; pay for the year up front and two months are on us. The same rates in Cabezuela as anywhere else in Spain.
Prices exclude VAT; 21% is added on the invoice. Every package includes 0% commission per booking. No lock-in. Monthly or annual payment with two months free.
The Holdesk widget integrates with any platform in under 5 minutes.
