Which direct booking site allows me to approve/deny bookings?

Question

Hi there,

Are there any direct booking sites with "request to book" capabilities where I have the ability to approve/deny booking requests before they get locked in? I want the ability to approve/deny bookings to my direct booking site before they are made.

Thanks,Hunter

Houfy.com, you will receive a notification of the request to book, but you have to accept or decline the reservation prior to your calendar being blocked or the guests credit card payment going through. You can also accept payments however you want, not just with a credit card.

my site www.bookvrof.com does not have a "click to book" function, but it is already challenging enough to attract repeat OTA customers to book direct, I do not want to make it harder. Since I am the owner of the site, I can cancel any bookings I am not comfortable with without any penalty at all.

@Lisa Graesser - Fair point. Ok, that's good to hear! Thank you!@Andrew Steffens - Makes sense on both fronts!

@Lisa Graesser - Have you found that guests trust Houfy? Or, do they see the layout and feel it's "not Airbnb" and don't want to book on it?
