Connect BookingPal to Villa Tracker

Enable the channel in BookingPal's Channel Connector, choose your homes, and approved listings sync automatically

If you distribute through BookingPal, you can connect to Villa Tracker from inside your own account. The integration runs on BookingPal's Channel Connector, so there is nothing to build and no second extranet to maintain: once your properties are approved, your listings, rates and availability sync automatically.

You do not have to send your whole portfolio — most partners start with the properties that best match the collection.

Why connect

Why Connect BookingPal to Villa Tracker

  • Trade-only distribution

    Villa Tracker is closed to the public. Your BookingPal portfolio is seen by 1,000+ verified travel companies across 80 countries — travel agents and designers, concierge companies, event planners — not by browsers comparing on price.

  • Higher-value bookings

    Travel professionals arrive with a brief and a budget. That tends to mean longer stays, larger parties and higher-value reservations than a public marketplace sends.

  • You keep control

    Villa Tracker is request-to-book by default: every reservation reaches you for confirmation. Instant booking is there if you want it, and only if you switch it on.

  • BookingPal stays your source of truth

    You keep managing content, rates and availability in BookingPal. There is no second extranet to maintain, and we never edit or remove your listings.

Setup

How to Connect BookingPal

  1. 1

    Open the Channel Connector

    Log in to your BookingPal account, go to the Channel Connector and find the Villa Tracker connection in the channel list.

  2. 2

    Select your properties

    Choose the homes you would like to distribute and submit them for review.

  3. 3

    Complete the form

    Fill in the form on this page as well, so we can match your BookingPal request to your company and confirm commercial terms without delay.

  4. 4

    Sync and go live

    Once approved, your content, rates and availability sync automatically, and you carry on managing everything from BookingPal.

Before You Begin

  • An active BookingPal account with the properties you would like to distribute already loaded.
  • Complete, publish-ready content on those properties — photography, descriptions, amenities, rates and availability.
  • Rates loaded as your net rates. Our margin and the agent's commission sit on top, so the figure you set is the figure you are paid.

Cannot find Villa Tracker in the channel list? The connection is enabled per BookingPal account, and it may be listed under Smiling House, our parent group. If neither is visible, email info@villatracker.com with your BookingPal account name and we will arrange for it to be made available to you.

What Happens Next

  • Approved homes are published to Villa Tracker and become visible to travel professionals.
  • Rates and availability keep flowing from BookingPal — there is no second calendar to maintain.
  • Booking requests reach you for confirmation.
  • BookingPal remains your source of truth. We never edit or remove your listings.

To stop distributing a property, unassign it from the channel in BookingPal. Existing confirmed reservations are unaffected — please honour those with the guest.

Questions

BookingPal and Villa Tracker: Common Questions

Villa Tracker is a connected channel on BookingPal's Channel Connector. You select the properties you would like to distribute inside BookingPal, and the integration handles the rest — listing content, photos, rates and availability flow from BookingPal automatically.

Every submitted home is reviewed against our criteria, typically within a few business days. Properties are most often held back for incomplete content or missing location data. We confirm the outcome for each property.

Continuously. BookingPal pushes updates whenever you change rates, availability or content, so there is no manual re-entry and no second calendar to maintain.

Yes. You continue to manage rates and availability in BookingPal, and they stay in sync with Villa Tracker. Because we are request-to-book by default, every reservation is confirmed by you.

We are open to properties from chic city apartments to ultra-luxury estates. The consistent requirement is quality and a nightly rate from $500. Our team reviews each property and confirms the outcome, so you always know where each one stands.

There is no fee to apply and no development cost to connect. Villa Tracker works on commission, and our team walks you through the commercial terms before anything goes live.

That is expected. You load net rates in BookingPal; the price a travel professional sees includes our margin and their commission. Your payout is the net rate you set.
