Capture the dates first
Check-in date, check-out date, adults, children, room or unit preference. Those five fields let you answer with availability and a price in one email — the whole game is reply speed.
Form template · Booking / appointment
Every direct booking inquiry is 15-25% commission you don't pay Booking.com. This form captures dates, party size, and room preference so you can confirm availability and take the reservation yourself.
Every template is free and fully editable in the drag-drop builder — swap fields, colors, and the button label before you publish.
No server, API route, or SDK — your Hotel Booking Form posts straight to one endpoint.
Every submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard — spam filtered before it reaches you.
It's plain HTML you own — paste the Hotel Booking Form snippet, swap in your access key, and ship.
Copy and ship
HTML by default — the same field set also renders as React, Next.js, PHP, and cURL in your dashboard. Every variant posts to the same /api/submit endpoint. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard; that's the only edit.

</p>How to add it
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.
Check-in date, check-out date, adults, children, room or unit preference. Those five fields let you answer with availability and a price in one email — the whole game is reply speed.
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.
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
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.)

Where 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 spam classifier 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.

Testimonials
40 quotes on record — from indie hacks to agency migrations.
“I replaced a Lambda + DynamoDB + SES contact form with six lines of HTML. It took eleven minutes, and the dashboard is better than what I was going to build.”
“We migrated 14 client sites off Formspree in a single weekend. The price is a third of what we paid, the API is more honest, and the spam filter actually works.”
“The webhook payload is signed, idempotent, and well-shaped. It reads like code from a competent team, not a CRUD app held together with duct tape.”
“I stopped reaching for Typeform on small marketing sites. splitforms covers 90% of the use case at none of the bloat.”
“I onboarded our whole agency in an afternoon. The MCP integration meant Cursor literally dropped the form straight into our client repos for us.”
“The free plan gave me 500 submissions before I paid a cent, and Pro is five dollars a month. I've spent more on coffee deciding which backend to use.”
“Spam went from forty junk entries a day to zero, with no reCAPTCHA puzzle ruining the form. The honeypot and time-trap just quietly do their job.”
“Point the form action at one endpoint and you're done. No SDK, no client library, no build step. This is how a form backend should feel.”
“Leads land in Slack the second someone submits, and a copy goes to Google Sheets for the sales team. I wired both up in under ten minutes.”
“I run a static Hugo site on a five-dollar VPS. splitforms gave it a real contact form without me standing up a single server.”
Questions
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.
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.
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.
Yes — paste the HTML into Squarespace, Wix, WordPress, Webflow, or a hand-built site. No booking-engine subscription, no plugin. Inquiries arrive by email and webhook within seconds.
Not directly — the form doesn't process payments. Standard flow: inquiry arrives, you confirm availability, then send a payment link for the deposit. Keeping payment out of the form also keeps you out of PCI scope.
