Learn how to enable the Trybe spa integration in GuestStay so guests can browse, book, and manage spa appointments directly from their reservation portal.

Written by Xanthe Jackson

GuestStay integrates with Trybe to allow guests to browse, book, and view spa appointments alongside their hotel reservation — all in one place. This article explains how to activate the feature, what guests experience, and how bookings appear in the property management system (PMS).

Benefits

  • Streamlined guest experience: Guests can manage spa appointments alongside their hotel reservation from one location.

  • Reduced reception workload: Spa bookings are managed digitally, reducing phone calls and manual administration.

  • Increased spa revenue: Easy access to bookings encourages guests to reserve treatments before arrival.

  • Real-time availability: Guests can view live appointment availability, helping to reduce double-bookings.


How guests use spa bookings

Once activated, guests can access spa bookings through their GuestStay portal.

View appointments

When guests navigate to the Spa section from their reservation management page, they see their appointments organised into two sections:

  • Upcoming appointments, with treatment details, dates, times, and booking status.

  • Past appointments, for reference.

Appointments are organised chronologically.

Make a new booking

To book a new treatment, guests select Book your next appointment and follow these steps:

  1. Browse the available treatments and sessions.

  2. Choose a preferred date from the calendar.

  3. Select an available time slot. Crossed-out times are unavailable.

  4. Review the basket at the bottom of the screen. Guests can add as many items as needed before proceeding.

📌 Note: All offerings configured in Trybe as "OTA available" are listed for booking. This includes appointments, sessions, and packages.

Complete the booking

Before submitting, guests confirm their contact details and then select Submit Booking:

  • Email address.

  • Phone number.

  • The guest who will attend the treatments and sessions.

The new appointment appears in the upcoming appointments list immediately after submission.

⚠️Important: Payments are not handled through GuestStay and must be managed independently, in line with the property's existing payment policies.


View bookings in the PMS

When enabled, a Spa tab appears on the reservation page in the PMS. From here, hotel staff can view all booked treatments and make new bookings on behalf of guests. The experience mirrors the GuestStay portal.

📌 Note: To enable the Spa tab in the PMS, contact the engineering team via Support.
