Advance hotel reservations until checkout starts
Let an agent move through a hotel reservation flow and hand off before any payment is entered.
- What they did
- Triptease gave Manus one short instruction and tried it on 11 hotel booking engines for a stay from September 15 to 17. The agent generally opened the hotel’s own booking path, then handled the calendar and room-choice steps. When it reached the form that asked for guest and card information, it stopped so a person could finish the booking.
- How it went
- It completed the selection steps on 8 of the 11 engines, with 3 of those taking longer than usual. CAPTCHAs blocked it on D Edge and Travelanium, and Simple Booking’s date control caused another failure. In those cases it moved to Booking.com instead, and no reservation was finalized because it cannot complete payment on its own.
- Tips
- A calendar that shows two months at once seems to help most. Length-of-stay pickers and CAPTCHA screens are the main places where it gets stuck, so plan to review the last step yourself.
Try it yourself with Manus
On [booking site URL or hotel website], search for availability at [hotel name] from [start date] until [end date] for [number] guests. Compare the room choices, prices, and cancellation rules, then continue only until the reservation flow asks for guest and payment details. Pause there, show me the best option, and wait for approval before typing any payment information or submitting the booking.
