An existing property management customer is expanding into the tour business, and is using ReservationKey to manage all his tour bookings. Thanks to being able to set up many different reservation pages in ReservationKey, he can set up a different page for each tour offering.
One such page is for the Rhythms of the Night tour. Using themes, he was able to hide various parts of the page, including the Arrive/Depart info at the top of the summary column.
Here is what it normally looks like:
In Custom Text, he changed the word “Arrive” to “Tour Date” such as is seen here:
We just added two new CSS tags so now display on these two lines can be set individually. By setting “display:none” in #reservationsummary_depart the departure date can be hidden.
#reservationsummary_arrive { }
#reservationsummary_depart {display:none;}
After linking the theme and the custom text set to the Reservation Page, the finished result looks like this:
This is just one nice example of how the system is flexible enough to handle a lot of different reservation needs.
Reservation management themes are transforming the hospitality and booking industries. Whether you're running a boutique hotel, a glamping resort, or managing vacation rentals, the ability to personalize your reservation system’s appearance and messaging can enhance user experience and reflect your brand identity.
These themes allow businesses to control the look and feel of their booking platforms—from colors and fonts to labels and interface structure. It's no longer just about functionality. It's about creating a seamless, branded, and beautiful experience that aligns with your guest expectations.
Back in the day, reservation systems were plain, often rigid, and lacked branding flexibility. But as user expectations evolved, so did the software. Today's systems offer dynamic, responsive themes with options for extensive customization.
User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) have become key components of reservation systems. A smooth, intuitive design helps build trust and encourages guests to complete their booking with confidence.
Most modern reservation systems now let you control layout positioning, color schemes, and visual accents. Whether you're going for a minimalist design or something vibrant, the right theme can reflect your brand personality.
Typography plays a vital role in readability and tone. With theme tools, you can choose fonts that suit your brand—professional, playful, elegant—and adjust sizes and spacing for clarity.
Themes today are designed with mobile-first in mind. Ensuring your reservation system looks flawless on all devices helps reduce bounce rates and boost conversions.
