Your booking widget just got a major upgrade.

What makes a guest book?

Direct bookings compete against big platforms every single day. Those are built to convert — with social proof, transparent pricing, and smart urgency signals built right in. We've now brought all of that into the Jurny booking widget, while keeping the experience clean, fast, and fully branded for your property.

Fewer steps, Less Friction.

The new flow consolidates everything into two meaningful stages: a clean property page with a sticky quote panel where dates and guests are editable inline, followed by a single checkout page with guest info, upsell selection, coupon code, and payment — all in one place.

Browse photos without leaving the results page

Guests can now swipe through property photos directly from the listing cards — no need to open each property just to see what it looks like inside. Arrow navigation and swipe support make this seamless on both desktop and mobile.

Star ratings visible at a glance — right on the photo

Star rating badges now appear directly on every listing card and property view, displaying the average score and total review count at a glance. This gives potential guests instant social proof — helping you build trust and drive more bookings with the reviews you've already earned.

Nightly rate visible before clicking in

The average nightly rate is now displayed on every listing card the moment a guest lands on your results page. Once they select dates, the card updates to show the actual total for their stay. No more making guests dig for pricing — and no more losing them to Airbnb just to compare rates.

Key amenities highlighted right on the card

The most important amenities for each property — things like Pool, Pet Friendly, or Kitchen — now appear as small pill tags on each listing card. Guests can instantly qualify whether a property fits their needs without opening it.

Smart urgency signals that drive decisions

The widget now shows contextual badges on listings to create natural booking momentum. Only one badge shows at a time, in priority order:

• ⚡ Instant Book — shown when instant booking is enabled for that property
• 🏷️ Best Rate — shown when an active discount applies to the selected dates
• 🔥 Only X nights available — shown when fewer nights remain in the month

Show or hide the map — guest's choice

Previously, the map could only be toggled off at the owner level. Now guests can show or hide the map themselves directly from the search results page, without losing their search context. Desktop guests in particular appreciate being able to compare locations — now they can, on their own terms.

"Check Availability" — a small change with a big impact

The search button label has changed from "Search" to "Check Availability." It's a small but intentional shift in framing — one that moves the guest from passively browsing to actively checking whether their dates are open. That sense of progress makes them more likely to follow through.

The core reason to book direct — now visible before the search

A short but high-impact trust line now appears just below the search CTA: "Best Rate Guaranteed · No OTA fees." It puts the strongest case for booking direct front and center — before the guest has even entered their dates.

Full price breakdown is visible from the moment they view a property

The cleaning fee, taxes, and total are now visible in a sticky panel on the property detail page — before the guest clicks "Book Now." The panel stays fixed as they scroll through photos, amenities, and house rules. 

"You won't be charged yet" — six words that reduce anxiety

When a guest clicks "Continue to Booking" from the property preview, they now see a clear reassurance message: they are not being charged yet. The actual charge only happens once they proceed through the full booking form and confirm payment. This addresses one of the most common guest hesitation points during the checkout journey.

Trust signals at the point of payment

A secure payment badge — "Your payment is 100% secure" — now appears near the payment button. For guests booking on a site they haven't used before, this is a critical trust signal at exactly the moment they need it most.

Upsells connected to the booking widget

Your existing upsells can now be surfaced directly inside the booking flow. As an owner, you decide whether each upsell appears in the widget and how it's offered — either as a paid add-on (added to the total at its original price) or as a free incentive (offered as a complimentary upgrade to encourage direct bookings). The entire upsell backend was already in place — this update connects it to the guest-facing booking experience.

Google Tag Manager & Analytics integration

The Jurny booking widget now pushes standardized dataLayer events that your GTM container can pass to Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, or any other measurement platform. Two events are available:

• jurny_booking_completed — fires on payment confirmation, with full booking data: property, dates, nights, guests, and revenue
• jurny_property_view — fires when a guest opens a property detail page

No changes are needed on Jurny's side — your GTM container takes care of the rest.
