Overview
A hotel booking form is really a reservation request: it captures arrival and departure dates, room type, and guest count so the front desk can check availability and confirm. Copy this template as a plain HTML form and it posts to a single SplitForms endpoint with a hidden access_key, so every request drops into your dashboard the instant a guest hits submit and a notification email lands in the front-desk inbox (free on every plan). There's no PMS to wire up and no backend to run, so the form works on whatever page your hotel site already lives on, static host included. The free plan takes your first 500 reservation requests with no card, enough to see real bookings come in before you pay a cent.

How to add a Hotel Booking Form to your site.
To add a Hotel Booking Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.
Ask what matters to the stay
An optional 'special requests' textarea catches anniversaries, accessibility needs, early check-ins, and pets. Small properties win on exactly these touches — capture them at inquiry time.
Reply with a payment link
Webhook the inquiry to your phone or front-desk inbox, confirm availability, and reply with a Stripe / Square payment link or your booking-engine URL. Inquiry-to-confirmation under an hour beats any OTA experience.
What's included
What's in this Hotel Booking Form template?
OTAs take 15-25% of every booking, and small properties — B&Bs, inns, boutique hotels, vacation rentals — feel it hardest. A booking inquiry form on your own site is the cheapest direct-booking channel that exists: the guest found you, they're asking you, and no middleman is in the email thread. The form needs check-in/check-out dates, party size, and room preference so your reply can be a confirmation with a payment link, not a round of twenty questions. Every direct booking saves 15-25% OTA commission — the form pays for itself on day one. (It's also free.)
- Booking / appointment — 6 ready-made fields
- HTML, JS, React, PHP, and cURL outputs
- One POST endpoint, no SDK — honeypot and spam scoring, no CAPTCHA
Where submissions go
Where do your Hotel Booking Form submissions go?
Reply-to is wired to the visitor's email, so one tap on Reply answers them directly — while the built-in honeypot and automatic spam scoring filter out bots before they reach you. Every submission is emailed to your inbox and can forward to a webhook or Slack the moment a visitor hits send.
- Reply-to wired to the visitor's email — reply straight from your inbox
- Honeypot and automatic spam scoring filter bots, no CAPTCHA friction
- Live dashboard, CSV export, and signed webhooks on paid plans
How SplitForms works
What happens after someone submits your form?
splitforms receives the submission, filters spam, saves it to your dashboard and emails you — then, on paid plans, sends it on to your webhooks and integrations. No backend infrastructure to build.

Where can submissions go besides email?
On paid plans, submissions can also go to Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier or any signed webhook — and splitforms works on the platforms you build on, from WordPress and Shopify to Next.js. With Stripe connected, your forms can take payments too.

Hotel Booking Form questions.
View all FAQsHow do I collect check-in and check-out dates on the booking form?
Use two native <input type="date"> fields and name them arrival and departure. They post as plain text and land as their own columns in your dashboard and CSV export, so you can sort requests by stay date without any calendar plugin. SplitForms stores whatever is submitted as-is, so pair the fields with the client-side date guard in the tips below to stop a departure that falls before check-in.
Does this form actually reserve the room or take the guest's payment?
No, it's a reservation-request backend, not a property-management system or a card processor. There's no live availability calendar and no checkout. Every request lands in your dashboard for the front desk to confirm manually against your real availability, which is what most small hotels and B&Bs want before they commit a room and take a deposit their usual way.
Can the guest get an instant 'we got your request' confirmation email?
Notification emails to your front desk are free on every plan. To auto-send the guest an acknowledgment the second they submit, so they stop comparing other hotels while they wait to hear back, switch on the auto-responder, which is included on Pro ($5/mo).
How do I route requests for different room types or multiple properties?
The free way: give each property or room type its own page with its own form and access_key, or add one hidden field naming it so every request is tagged. On Pro, routing rules send a submission to a specific destination based on a field value, and a signed webhook can drop each new request straight into a Slack, Discord, or WhatsApp channel the right desk actually watches.
Is this a real-time booking engine?
No — it's an inquiry form, which is exactly what most small properties want. You stay in control of availability and pricing, reply personally, and take payment however you like. If you outgrow it, the form still earns its keep as the overflow channel for special requests and groups.
How do I avoid double-bookings against Airbnb / Booking.com?
Reply to inquiries only after checking your channel manager or calendar. Many hosts webhook inquiries into the same Slack channel as their OTA notifications so one glance shows the whole picture before confirming.
Can I add a date picker that blocks unavailable dates?
The template uses native date inputs, which work everywhere with zero JS. Wiring a calendar widget (Flatpickr, etc.) that greys out booked dates is possible client-side — the POST to splitforms is unchanged. We have a recipe in the docs.
