Field guide
Cover the handoff from requested dates to arrival preparation with structured answers.
Stay dates
Require separate arrival and departure dates. Add an arrival time and clarify the property's time zone when needed.
Guest details
Capture one lead guest, reliable contact details, and party count. Ask children's ages only when relevant to the stay.
Room selection
List room types with capacity or bed descriptions. For several rooms, ask for quantities and allocation notes.
Stay requirements
Ask about accessibility, diet, cots, parking, and transport without promising every request can be met.
Policies and review
Show check-in hours, occupancy, and house rules. Explain the review step without presenting submission as automatic confirmation.
Follow-up and routing
Notify the booking team and give guests a submission copy. Track review status so requests are not mistaken for accepted bookings.

Practical answers for owners replacing scattered booking emails with a structured request.
It lets travelers request a stay with dates, party size, room preference, contact details, arrival information, and special requests. The owner reviews availability and replies with confirmation, alternatives, or questions.
Include stay dates, adults and children, room preference, name, email, phone, and arrival time. Add conditional questions for ages, cots, breakfast, accessibility, parking, pets, or transport. End with house rules and the next step.
Only if your wider process reserves inventory at submission. Otherwise, label it a request and say staff confirm availability afterward, so an acknowledgment message is not mistaken for a held room.
