FAQ's
Do we need to buy a software?
Book.world system is rented to hostels. The rental fee includes support by phone and e-mail.
You may choose one of our two price plans we offer.
Can book.world be installed on different PC stations?
The DormBook software can be installed on any number of PCs. With the “Base licence” you are limited
to one concurrent use of the system. If you want to use the system from different PCs at the same time,
you need to rent additional licences.
Are my data safe?
Backup of all your reservation and guest data.
All data is stored on two servers, one in Switzerland and one in Germany.
You can continue to work without Internet connection.
The loss of reservation data is one of the worst case scenarios in running a hostel.
book.world has its master database stored on an internet server, placed in a secured
environment in Germany. The data is permanently mirrored onto a backup server
in a data center in Switzerland.
With the “local database” option all reservations are saved on a local PC. Should your
Internet connection be down at any point you continue working with this local database.
Once the Internet connection is restored your local data will be automatically synchronized
with the server database.
What about the failure of interfaces?
If one of the interfaces (Hostelworld, HostelBookers, etc.) fails to function correctly for more than 5 days within one month
and compensation is required to be provided to hostels, then it cannot exceed the amount the hostel paid for in advance.
Only a maximum of one month compensation is refundable, if the hostel chooses to continue to use DormBook, book.world, etc.
Who is responsible for setting up the data?
The hostel is responsible for all settings at any time, especially also for the correct data concerning prices and availabilities on interfaces.
How can guests book a bed or room through book.world?
DormOnline OBE (online booking engine) has to be placed on the website of the hostel.
For hostels using the booking fee price plan (e.g. b25) this is a must.
