Add an Enquiry Button to Your Villa Website in 10 Minutes

TL;DR — Most villa websites lose 70% of their visitors silently. A "Plan your stay" button on every page lets a guest send you their dates, party size, and contact details in 30 seconds — straight to your WhatsApp and your Doorloom dashboard. Setup takes under 10 minutes (or a quick message to your web person).

Why most villa websites are leaking guests

Picture this: it's 11 pm. A family in Bangalore is lying in bed planning a Goa trip. They land on your villa's homepage. They love the photos. But there's no way to ask "Is the villa free for the long weekend?" without picking up the phone — at 11 pm. So they tap back, open Booking.com, and you just paid OTA commission on a guest who had already chosen you.

This is the silent leak every direct-booking host fights. The fix isn't a bigger website. It isn't more SEO. It's a small, friendly button that says: "Tell us your dates. We'll reply on WhatsApp."

What the Doorloom enquiry button actually does

When a visitor clicks the floating green "Plan your stay" button, a tidy form slides in over your page asking for the few things you actually need to reply intelligently:

• Name and mobile number (with country code).
• Check-in and check-out dates.
• Number of adults and children.
• Travelling with pets? Want meals included?
• Preferred location (only shown if you have properties in more than one city).

When they hit Send Enquiry, two things happen at once:

1. WhatsApp opens on their phone with a message addressed to you, listing every detail they entered. They tap send. You're talking.
2. The same details land in your Doorloom dashboard and ping the Doorloom mobile app — so even if the guest doesn't end up sending the WhatsApp, the lead is yours.

How to set it up — the three-minute version

There are three steps, and most hosts finish in well under ten minutes. Two of them are us doing the work; one is you handing a snippet to your web person.

1. 1

   Tell us where you want the button to appear

   Email your account manager — or message Doorloom support — with the address(es) of every website you'd like the button on. Examples: https://yourbrand.com, https://www.yourbrand.com, https://shop.yourbrand.com. Send the full address, including the https:// bit.
2. 2

   We send you back a widget key

   It's a short string of letters and numbers that quietly identifies your account, like pk_live_6c5257e0a0c6c437a2f703d128421fd4. Treat it as semi-public — it's safe to put on your website. We'll generate it for you and ping you.
3. 3

   Forward one line of code to your web person

   This is the only step where someone has to touch the website. Most hosts simply forward the snippet (below) to their developer, agency, or even the freelancer who originally built the site. It's a single line, pasted just before the closing </body> tag.

Where most hosts get stuck — and how to skip it

The bit that scares non-technical hosts is "paste this code." You don't have to. Forward the snippet to whoever built your website — they'll recognise it instantly. We've made the message easy.

<script src="https://doorloom.com/embed/v1/loader.js"
        data-doorloom-key="pk_live_xxxxxxxx"
        defer></script>

Replace pk_live_xxxxxxxx with the real key we sent you. That's the whole job.

"But which website builder do I use?"

Whoever built your site will know exactly where to paste the snippet — but if you want to brief them, here's the short version for the most common platforms.

If your website was built by an agency or freelancer, just forward this post to them — the snippet is at the top of the section above.

What happens when an enquiry comes in

This is the moment you've been paying for.

1. The visitor fills the form on your website and taps Send Enquiry.
2. WhatsApp opens on their device with a message addressed to your number, pre-filled with every detail they entered.
3. The lead is saved to your Doorloom dashboard with a timestamp, property preference, and contact details.
4. You get a push notification on the Doorloom mobile app — same as any other lead. Tap and reply on WhatsApp. Done.

You can reply on WhatsApp, follow up by phone, or simply log it as a contacted lead in your dashboard. Nothing about your existing follow-up process changes.

Reply to enquiries from your phone.

Get a push notification the moment a guest sends an enquiry. Reply on WhatsApp without leaving the Doorloom app.

Why this beats every other "contact form" on the internet

Generic contact forms send you an email. You see it three hours later. The guest has already booked someone else. The Doorloom enquiry button is engineered for the way hosts actually work.

Ready to plug the leak?

Capturing enquiries is the cheapest growth lever a host has. The traffic is already coming — you've already paid for it via SEO, social, or word-of-mouth. The button captures the 70% that would otherwise vanish.
