Bookings without phone tag
Guests submit everything you need at any hour, in their own time zone.
Form Types
Create an online hotel booking form
Small hotels, homestays and guesthouses lose bookings to phone tag. A booking request form takes dates, room type, guest count and special requests in one go — and can collect a deposit so the reservation is real before you block the room.
How to create a hotel booking form in Formblyt
Ask for the stay dates first
Check-in and check-out dates decide everything else, so put them at the top.
List rooms and rates
Offer your room types as a choice field with a short description of each.
Capture guest counts
Adults, children and extra beds affect both pricing and housekeeping.
Collect a deposit
Connect a payment gateway to take an advance so confirmed bookings are actually confirmed.
Publish everywhere
Put the link on your website, Google Business profile, Instagram bio and WhatsApp auto-reply.
Confirm from the dashboard
Review requests, confirm availability and export the arrivals list for the week.

Frequently asked questions
Does this check live room availability?
No. It is a booking request form, not a channel-managed inventory system. You confirm availability from your dashboard and reply to the guest.
Can I take a deposit?
Yes. Connect a payment gateway and add a payment step to collect an advance at submission.
Can guests upload ID?
Yes. Add a file upload field so guests can attach a passport or ID photo ahead of arrival.
Is the hotel booking form free to use?
Yes. You can build and publish a hotel booking form on the Formblyt free plan, within the free plan's monthly form and response limits. Paid plans raise those limits and unlock branding removal and advanced analytics.
Do respondents need an account?
No. Anyone with the link or QR code can complete the form in a browser. You can optionally require an email address if you need to identify each respondent.
