Updated

Manage all accommodations, guests, communication, reservation status and financial details of a specific reservation in the Reservation Details Page.

This article will go through all the sections you can find in this page.

Reservation Details Page

The Reservation Details Page is accessible once a user clicks on the reservation number, or searches for a particular reservation in the top navigation bar. It is organized in sections and tabs to help you manage your reservations easily and efficiently.

Once open, this page provides information on all the booking details, as well as showcasing the actions that can be performed through Cloudbeds PMS. These actions include the ability to add credit card details, generate or print an invoice, for example; among other tasks.

Sections Overview

Reservation Header
  1. Guest Name and Cloudbeds Reservation ID: The reservation ID is a unique reference number created by the system automatically and cannot be changed/customized.
  2. Statuses:
    1. Reservation Status: Confirmed, Confirmation Pending, Canceled, In-house, Checked out, or No Show.
    2. Guest Status: Refers to the guests categories. Learn more here.

Things to note:

  • All OTA reservations get imported to Cloudbeds PMS with a Confirmed status.
  • The Origin field is different from the Reservation Source. Origin is the original booking source used by the guest to make the reservation. Continue reading below for more detailed information about the Origin field.
  • Once created, 3DS-authorized reservations are automatically changed to Inquiry, a temporary reservation status in Cloudbeds, until they are successfully authenticated by the booker. Note that there is no time limit for this status to be changed, since it will depend on the guest or booker approving the payment process.
  • Depending on the source of the reservation, some extra fields will be presented, such as the payment type or the cancellation details.
  • The cancellation details are only available for OTA reservations that send Cloudbeds PMS this specific information and it is not possible to edit this information inside Cloudbeds PMS.
  • Check the following articles to learn more about OTA cancellations:

The Origin field in the Reservation Details Page

The Origin field displays the Original Booking Source used by the guest to make the reservation. The most common values this will take will be a website (OTA) or a Travel Agency name.

Examples: 

  • Expedia is a brand that owns many subsidiary booking websites such as Orbitz, Travelocity, and Hotels.com, among many others.
  • When a booking is made on one of those subsidiary sites, it is sent through the Expedia API and appears as a booking with a Source equal to "Expedia" although it originated from Orbitz, Travelocity, or Hotels.com.
  • The Origin field will show the original booking source and the front desk staff can reference this information.
  • In the case of Google Hotel Search (where the reservation was made from within the booking engine), Origin is the search engine from where a customer was redirected to your booking engine.
Reservation Actions

  2. Email:
  3. Print:
