BookBolt — Guesthouse Booking Calendars BookBolt is the calendar built for managing guesthouse reservations — whether you run one property or a whole portfolio, alone or with a team. One calendar per guesthouse, organized into groups Every guesthouse gets its own calendar, with check-in/check-out windows, a cover photo, and its own approval settings. Group your calendars together to see every gombined view, with spanning reservationstrips that make availability obvious at a glance. Never double-booked Overlapping reservations are blocked automatically — always, on every calendar. No settings to misconfigure, no risk of accidentally taking the same room twice. Share access, your way Invite people to a group with a simple link — no email required. Choose their role: Viewer (see only), Collaborator (manage their own bookings), or Admin (manage bookings and members). Links expire in 48 hours and work once, so access stays tight. Know who did what Every reservation shows a colored strip with the maker's initials, so it's instantly clear who booked what. A permanent, searchable activity log records e, confirmed, cancelled — so nothing is ever a mystery. Built for teams and organizations Enterprises let a whole organization act as one identity on shared calendars, with its own roles (Owner, Admin, Member, Viewer) and a unified color and initials — while the audit log still tracks exactly which person did what behind the scenes. Track the full booking lifecycle From Requested to Pending to Confirmed, follt request through deposit to fullconfirmation. Approval workflows keep new bookings in check when you need them to be reviewed first. Stay in the loop Push notifications alert you the moment a booking is requested, confirmed, cancelled, or changed. Open calendars update live, so you're always looking at the current picture. Everything you need, nothing you don't - Custom calendars per guesthouse, grouped f - Combined and single-calendar views with spanning reservation strips - Guest details, notes, and receipt attachments per booking - Deposit tracking built into every reservat - Light, dark, or system theme - Works offline for viewing previously loade BookBolt keeps every reservation, every guesthouse, and every teammate's contribution organized in one place — so nothing falls through the cracks.
