| Similar Search |
Chances are your visitors enter the search parameters which actually match no properties at your website. But they definitely might like the ones, which are very similar to the properties initially requested. The new “Similar Search” feature solves this issue. Display the properties that meet most of visitor’s requirements by setting up the search parameters in the admin panel. You get 2 competitor advantages: first, you save your guests from the trouble of repeated searches thus avoiding their irritation. Second, you get additional exposure of the non-requested properties. |

Rent history allows property owners to track the rents. The rent history
of an owner includes the arrival/departure dates, guest and property, which was
rented.

| Automated Inquiry |
The inquiries are made automatically. Being submitted they get added
immediately to the database. If the property is available during the specified
period, an owner sends the confirmation and the status of the inquiry then is “pending”.
When the pre-payment is done, the inquiry status is changed to “reserved”.
However, this scheme can be easily modified.
