What BookingPal is
BookingPal distributes vacation rental listings to travel sites and gives property managers a centralized way to manage inventory. RevPAL adds distribution to an existing property management system (PMS); RevPAL+ combines reservations, guests, rates, and distribution without a separate PMS. The service says it connects to 26 channels, with premium access potentially requiring partner approval. Named destinations include Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, Expedia, Homes & Villas by Marriott, Google Travel, Hyatt, and Amex Travel. Rates and availability sync across connected channels to reduce double-booking risk. RevPAL+ adds a unified inbox for guest messages, recommended rates, reservation and guest management, and review tools. Developers can use a REST API, SDKs, a sandbox, and webhooks; API functions include property content, rate and availability updates, reservation changes, payment and guest detail flows, and performance reporting. BookingPal was founded in 2013 and is headquartered in Irvine, California. RevPAL is $3 a month plus 1.5% on delivered bookings and requires an existing PMS. Pricing is on request; there is no free plan.
