# VistaLink Hotel Extranet - Full Reference > AI-native infrastructure for hotel research and booking. VistaLink connects hotels with travelers through AI-powered search across multiple platforms. ## Overview VistaLink Hotel Extranet is the hotel-facing portal of the VistaLink platform. It allows hotel owners and managers to: - Claim or register their hotel listing - Manage hotel details (name, location, description, amenities, rooms, images) - Track performance with real-time analytics (impressions, clicks, bookings, revenue) - Control their listing (pause, update, or remove anytime) The platform operates on a **commission-only** model: hotels pay 10% on completed stays booked through VistaLink. There are no setup fees, subscriptions, or hidden charges. ## How It Works ### Step 1: Find Your Hotel Search by hotel name or website URL. VistaLink has a database of hotels worldwide. If your hotel is already in the system, you can claim it instantly. ### Step 2: Create Your Account Sign up with your email. No credit card required. No contracts. The process takes under 2 minutes. ### Step 3: Review Details & Go Live Verify your hotel information, upload photos, review the service agreement, and publish. Your hotel becomes visible on AI travel platforms immediately. ## Platform Features ### Direct Bookings Guests book directly on the hotel's own website through their existing booking engine.

VistaLink connects hoteliers directly to AI-native platforms that need intelligent hotel search and booking - assistants, chatbots, and travel search engines looking for high-quality inventory to surface. As long as you have a website you can join: no PMS swap, no channel manager, no tech-middleman approval, no integration timeline to wait on - you're live in about five minutes. We only ever bring you direct bookings on your own site, so the guest relationship, the data, and the revenue stay yours. ### Is VistaLink really free to set up? Listing is free. No setup fee, no subscription, no monthly cost - only a 10% commission on completed stays booked through VistaLink. You sign a short SLA to publish (no lock-in, pause anytime), billing details are collected during onboarding, and we invoice at the end of each month for guests who actually checked in. You're never charged for cancellations, no-shows, or unfilled inventory. ### How will guests actually find my hotel? Travelers describe what they want in natural language - atmosphere, neighbourhood, mood, budget - and our AI matches them with best-fit hotels across our partner network of AI travel platforms. No bidding, no ads, no auction. Your hotel surfaces because it fits the request. ### Do I need a PMS, channel manager, or any integration? No. We built a proprietary booking layer that plugs directly into your hotel website - no PMS swap, no channel manager required. Manage availability inside the Extranet, or sync with your existing channel manager if you already run one. About five minutes from sign-up to live. ### What can I actually see about my guests? Real-time analytics on impressions, clicks, bookings, and revenue - plus the intent context each guest shared: the vibe they wanted, the neighbourhoods they shortlisted, where they dropped off in your funnel. The kind of intelligence OTAs never share with you. ### How do I track performance and improve where I surface? Your dashboard shows the full guest journey: search → impression → click → booking. To improve visibility, keep your photos high-quality and your description honest about who the property is for - our AI matches on signal, not on spend. ### Can I remove my listing? Yes, anytime. Pause or permanently remove your listing with one click. There's no lock-in, no cancellation fee, no questions asked. Confirmed bookings are honoured; new search results delist within 24 hours. ## Testimonials Hotels already on the platform report: - "Setup took less than five minutes.
