Booking system: your guest books online, the system does the math.

A booking system from tentacl.ai accepts bookings around the clock, shows free rooms, holiday homes, vehicles, yachts or pitches live, collects deposits and final payments, and runs the guest account through to departure. For hotels, holiday rentals, campsites, car rentals and yacht charters it is a ready-made product, in daily use since summer 2026. For appointment-based businesses such as studios, practices and service providers we build appointment booking on the same core. The price is fixed, there is no commission per booking.

What the booking system can do

Everything that happens between inquiry and departure, in one system. No spreadsheet on the side, no phone book of deposits.

Selection with photo, plan and price

Guests choose a room, holiday home, vehicle, yacht or pitch with photos, amenities and final price, optionally on the house or site plan. Blocks, seasons, minimum stays and holiday rules are checked before the booking.

Appointment booking

Free slots per employee or resource, buffer times, email reminders. Built on the same core for studios, practices, consultants and workshops.

Deposit, final payment, security deposit

Nexi or Stripe, Apple Pay and Google Pay, bank transfer in advance, security deposit as a pre-authorization. Refunds on cancellation according to your rules, discounts and vouchers included.

Guest account

Every guest sees their bookings, invoices and the wallet card for their phone. Rebooking and late check-out without calling reception.

Obligations and invoicing

Tourist tax and guest registration for accommodation, driver's or skipper's license check for rentals, invoices with correct VAT. Electronic reporting to the municipality on request.

Point of sale and front desk

A front-desk view of the day's arrivals or handovers, payment on site, end-of-day closing. Who's arriving, what's open, who's extending: all on one screen.

Frequently asked questions

What does the booking system cost?

Packages start at €190 a month plus VAT, individual modules from €30, plus a one-time setup. We charge by feature scope, not by the number of rooms, units, vehicles or pitches. Appointment booking for other businesses is quoted as a project after a 30-minute call. There is no fee per booking.

Which payment methods does the booking system support?

Nexi and Stripe, each with Apple Pay and Google Pay, credit card, deposit and final payment, bank transfer in advance, payment on site at the point of sale. Security deposits run as a pre-authorization. Refunds on cancellation are triggered by the system according to your rules.

Can guests choose their own unit?

Yes. Depending on the business, guests choose their room, holiday home, vehicle, yacht or pitch, with photos, amenities and final price, optionally directly on the house or site plan. Anything booked or blocked cannot be selected.

Who owns the guest data?

You do. Guest records, consents and booking history are stored in your own tenant on German servers and can be fully exported at any time.

How long does setup take?

For the 2027 season we plan six to ten weeks: on-site process review, setup, data migration, training and support during the first days.

Which businesses have a ready-made solution?

Hotels, holiday rentals and resorts, campsites, car rentals and yacht and boat charters each have their own page with examples from the booking flow. Appointment-based businesses such as studios and practices are built as a project on the same core.

Can I keep my existing website?

Yes. The booking flow is added to your website via a link or embed. Guests stay in your design, the booking runs in the system.
