Live availability
Guests search the same current availability your team uses, with operating dates and restrictions applied.
Turn your website visitors into confirmed guests with live availability, flexible accommodation pricing and secure online payments connected to Keydesk.

Keydesk Direct turns a Book Now click into a guided online reservation using the availability, rates and payment rules already set in Keydesk.
Guests search the same current availability your team uses, with operating dates and restrictions applied.
Nightly, stay-package, per-person and per-pitch pricing flows into the guest journey from Keydesk.
Offer pay in full, a deposit, a deposit with the balance collected automatically later, or weekly, fortnightly and monthly instalments. The guest sees the exact future amount and date before agreeing to it.
Give guests a clear route from date search to confirmation on the device they already have in hand.
Guests find their UK address from a postcode instead of typing it out, which is fewer taps on a phone and one less reason to abandon a checkout.
Where a guest starts a booking, leaves contact details and does not finish, eligible journeys can send a controlled reminder inviting them back rather than losing the enquiry silently.
After confirmation, guests follow a separate journey to enter who is staying, the ages of children and their vehicle registrations, so the gate list is ready before they set off.
Walk your own booking portal exactly as a guest would, while it is still closed to the public, and only open it for real sales when you are happy with it.
No enquiry form to answer later. Guests can see what is available, understand the price and complete the reservation there and then.
Send visitors from your existing website into your own hosted Keydesk Direct portal.
Guests search live dates, compare the available options and see the applicable price.
Collect guest information and take the deposit or full payment you have configured through Stripe.
The confirmed booking joins the same operational view as reservations taken by your booking office.
Direct reservations flow into Keydesk with their source clearly identified, giving your team one place to manage the stay and a direct relationship with the guest.
Bookings from connected channels land on the same calendar: Pitchup through a full API integration, and every other channel through two-way calendar sync. Keydesk is transparent about what is available today and what remains on the roadmap.
Explore how Keydesk combines direct bookings with the operational needs of each accommodation sector.
No. Keydesk Direct offers UK postcode look-up, so a guest picks their address rather than typing it. On a phone that removes several fields from the longest part of the form, which is where checkouts are most often abandoned.
A direct booking engine lets guests check live availability, see prices and reserve accommodation through a booking journey connected to your own website. The reservation goes straight into your property management system rather than arriving from an online travel marketplace.
Keydesk Direct is a booking portal we host for you at your own Keydesk web address, in the form yourpark.keydesk.co.uk. It is not hosted on your own domain and it is not an embedded widget. You add a Book Now button to your existing website, and guests move into a mobile-first booking journey using your live Keydesk pricing and availability.
Yes, and they can do more than that. You choose what is offered: pay in full, pay a deposit, pay a deposit and authorise the balance to be collected automatically on its due date, or spread the stay over weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments. Card payments are processed securely through Stripe, and Keydesk records the payment and tracks any remaining balance.
Yes. Keydesk Direct is being built for holiday parks, campsites, touring parks, glamping sites, lodges and other independent accommodation businesses, including per-person and per-pitch pricing where needed.
Yes. Your direct booking journey, your booking office and your connected channels all read the same Keydesk availability. Pitchup is connected through a full API integration, and every other channel through two-way calendar sync, so a pitch sold on Airbnb stops being sellable on your own site. Calendar connections carry dates rather than rates, so prices on those channels stay under your control there.
Yes. Direct preview mode lets you and your team walk the whole guest journey on your own portal while it is still closed to the public. You can check your accommodation, prices, extras and wording against a real booking flow, and open it for live sales when you are ready rather than as a side effect of setting something else up.
Where the guest left contact details before dropping out, eligible booking journeys can send a controlled recovery reminder inviting them to pick up where they left off. It is deliberately conservative: guest messaging is governed by an account-level setting, so nothing goes out from a test or demonstration account.
After the booking is confirmed, through a separate stay-details journey. They get a secure link that needs no account, and enter the names and types of people staying, the ages of children and infants, and vehicle registrations. Keydesk works out whether anything is still missing and can chase it on a timing you set.
