Connect GuestCentric to Cloudbeds PMS

Guestcentric is a hospitality technology provider that empowers hotels to maximize their direct revenue and reduce reliance on OTAs. Their core solution is a "one-stop-shop" platform that combines an award-winning, high-converting booking engine with a powerful cloud-based Central Reservation System (CRS).

Integrating Cloudbeds and GuestCentric allows for real-time synchronization of availability, rates, and inventory (ARI) between the two platforms. This integration helps to streamline distribution management, reduce manual data entry, and ensure real-time accuracy across both systems.

  Prerequisite: You must obtain your Hotel ID from GuestCentric before attempting to connect. Without this ID, the self-serve login flow cannot be completed.
