Hello! It’s been awhile since you’ve heard from us, but that’s just because we’ve been busy with some new changes that will bring more flexibility to HoteloPro and will allow you to get your job done quicker.
1) An overhaul and redesign of the taxes system
Since we are serving clients in over 15 countries, there were many situations where the room price should have VAT included and there would also be a city tax that should be NETTO (without VAT).
In this new version we’ve created a section dedicated to VAT (or you can change the name of the tax) and you can control the value of this tax for each category of products you sell: rooms, food, drinks or general services. You also have granular control over each category of products and you can set if the VAT is included in the product price or not. If there is no value added tax or sales tax for a certain category of products, simply uncheck it.
You can find this section by going in SETTINGS → BILLING & TAXES.
Besides the main section dedicated to VAT, we’ve added a section for other type of taxes, like City tax or any other tax that can be applied to rooms, services, /room/night, or /person/night. The tax value can be entered either as amount or as percent.
You have complete control over the settings, you can can select if the tax is included in the room price or it gets added on top if it. Same thing goes for VAT, you can check if it’s VAT included or not.
2) Improved group booking
Before you had to enter a person for each room, now when you make a reservation for a group (multiple rooms), you just have to fill/select one name – the person in charge of the group, and it gets autofilled for all rooms. As a reminder, you can create a group booking by selecting multiple rooms from the dashboard.
3) New languages available
Our vision is to help B&B and small hotels owners worldwide, so with this update we’re pleased to announce we’ve added Dutch and Estonian languages. Hello friends!
4) Multiple bugs repaired
We’ve fixed a bug on the website widget, when calculating the total for multiple rooms and we’ve increased its size for better display. Additional bugs on the invoice have been resolved.
We’re looking forward for your feedback. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to write us at contact@hotelopro.com.
