Out of Eden reservation diaries for hotels and guest houses are an absolute essential and much-loved by so many of your customers, with the week-to-view layout giving plenty of room to write guest booking information. We also supply telephone booking forms and registration cards and registration card ring binders to keep your guest information safe.
Check out this review of our registration diary: "Out of Eden's big, A4 hard-backed diaries really keep me on the straight and narrow. A full week at a view with the flexibility to mark each room with all the information needed for bookings. Really useful having the calendars, year planners and advance bookings pages as well… they are the essential ingredient to keep your bed & breakfast or hotel running smoothly."
Why Use a Professional Booking Diary & Registration Forms
- Efficient booking management: A dedicated booking diary helps you log reservations, room allocations, check-in/check-out dates and client details — avoiding double-bookings or scheduling errors.
- Compliance & record-keeping: Guest registration cards help you collect and store required guest information, useful for audits, insurance, or legal compliance.
- Better guest service: Having a clear view of upcoming arrivals and guest history helps you tailor service — from room prep to special requests.
- Bulk-ready for multi-room properties: Our diaries and registration cards come in trade-packs, ideal for hotels, guest houses, and holiday lets with high occupancy and frequent turnover.
- Paper backup & reliability: Unlike digital-only systems, a paper-based booking/registration system works even without internet — reliable for small properties, rural accommodation, or backup use.
Which is better: a physical or digital booking diary?
Both physical and digital booking diaries have their advantages and disadvantages. A physical diary offers a tangible, easy-to-reference record, while a digital diary provides convenience and flexibility for online bookings. Ultimately, the choice depends on individual preferences and business needs.
Why should I use a paper booking diary instead of a digital system?
Paper booking diaries are simple, reliable, and work even when there’s no internet or power — ideal for small guest houses or rural holiday lets. They offer a tangible, at-a-glance overview of reservations.
Are guest registration cards still required?
Guest registration cards help collect necessary guest information, support compliance (data, insurance, emergencies), and provide a paper backup record even if your reservation system fails.
What’s the difference between a booking diary and a reservation log book?
A booking diary typically shows a full 12-month calendar with day-by-day booking entries and room allocations. A reservation log book is more compact and often used for quick entries of bookings, date ranges, and guest names — useful for smaller properties or as a supplement to a main diary.
Can I order these supplies in bulk for multiple properties or outlets?
Yes — our booking diaries, registration cards, and log books are offered in trade packs and bulk quantities, suitable for hotels, guest-house groups, or chains with multiple outlets.
Do you supply refill pages or extra registration cards?
Yes — we offer spare guest registration card packs and additional diary refill pages to support ongoing booking management and room turnovers.
