How to open your booking engine in the same window on your hotel website

Simple guide to changing the behavior of the “Book” button

Key points:

  • Yes, you can open the booking engine in the same window.
  • The modification is done with a single click in the button's link settings.
  • This choice impacts the user experience and conversion tracking.
  • It is recommended to test the behavior on desktop and mobile.

By default, many hotel websites configure their "Book Now" button to open the booking engine in a new tab. This allows visitors to easily return to the main site. However, if you prefer the booking process to open in the same window (for a smoother experience), changing this is very simple.

1. Identify the integration method

The booking engine can be:

  • An external link (redirecting to a URL such as https://booking.amenitiz.io/... or https://secure.d-edge.com/...)
  • An embedded widget (via HTML code or script displayed directly on the page)

💡 This guide concerns buttons that redirect to an external URL.

2. Edit the button in the Webflow Editor

If you are using Webflow Editor:

  1. Log in to your hotel website.
  2. Go to the page where the “Book” button is located.
  3. Click the button to open its settings.
  4. In Link settings, check the link type (external URL).
  5. Uncheck the “Open in new tab” option.
  6. Click Publish to make the change available online.

💡 Result: the booking engine will open directly in the same window, replacing the current page.

3. Edit the link in Webflow Designer

If you are using the Designer:

  1. Select the “Book” button.
  2. Open the Settings panel (⚙️).
  3. In Link Settings, paste or keep the search engine URL.
  4. Uncheck the “Open in new tab” box (if it is checked).
  5. Publish the site via Publish > Domain.

💡 You can make this change to multiple “Book” buttons if your site contains several (e.g. in the menu or footer).

4. Check the behavior after publication

Once published:

  • Click the “Book” button to test the redirection.
  • The engine should now open in the same window, without creating an additional tab.
  • Also test it on mobile: the behavior is identical and seamless for the user.

5. Points to consider before choosing this option

Opening the engine in the same window is possible, but here are a few points to consider:

  • The visitor leaves the main site to access the search engine, which can reduce traffic to your other pages.
  • If your search engine is not integrated into your domain (for example, secure.d-edge.com), visitors may feel like they are "leaving the site".
  • For a more consistent user experience, you can customize the search engine design (logo, colors, header) through your provider so that it remains visually aligned with your hotel website.

💡 An alternative is to integrate the engine directly into a page of the site (via an embed code): the visitor remains on your domain throughout the booking process.

Conclusion

Yes, it's perfectly possible to open your booking engine in the same window. With just a few clicks in Webflow Editor or Designer, you can modify this setting to adapt the user experience to your strategy: smoother navigation, or more secure if the engine remains on your domain.
