Creating and managing direct bookings

Direct bookings allow you to create reservations manually in Millenium Connect when a booking does not come through a connected channel.

This can be useful for reservations received directly from guests, phone bookings, walk-ins, cash reservations, or any other booking source outside your connected platforms.

Creating a direct booking

To create a direct booking:

  1. Go to Reservations from the main menu.

  2. Click Create reservation.

  3. Fill in the required reservation information.

Guest details

Start by adding the guest information:

  • Guest type:

    • Individual

    • Company

  • First and last name

  • Email address

  • Phone number

  • Location details

This information will be saved with the reservation and used for communication and reservation management.

You can also create a half-day reservation if needed.

Choose how to calculate the reservation amount:

Add any additional charges, such as:

    • Partial

    • Paid

If the guest has already paid outside Millenium Connect, enable Collected payment to indicate that the payment has been received.

Notes and requests

Add additional information related to the reservation:

  • Guest notes: Information provided by the guest.

  • Special requests: Guest preferences or specific requirements.

  • Internal notes: Information for your team only and not visible to guests.

Managing a direct booking

Once created, the reservation will appear in your Reservations list and in the Calendar.

You can open the reservation at any time to review its details or update the information if needed.

Direct bookings are managed the same way as other reservations created through connected channels.
