Managing bookings as a vacation rental host can seem challenging, but using an online platform can make the process smoother and more efficient for you and your guests.

 Lake offers various tools and features to simplify the booking and management process, helping you stay organized and provide a great guest experience.

Differentiating Between Instant Bookings vs. Requested Bookings

Choosing between instant and request-based booking methods is one of the most significant decisions you’ll need to make when setting up your online rental. 

Instant bookings allow guests to confirm their reservations immediately, while the requested booking method will enable you to review and approve bookings before they become finalized. This choice depends on your comfort level and your accommodation’s specific needs.

Setting up your booking system effectively is crucial to optimizing your hosting business and creating a seamless experience for your guests.
