Magus Vision

…Is to be the leading provider of secure internet transaction services and travel information to the independent accommodation market.


  ^ Back to top What does this mean

‘The independent accommodation market’ is niche market which includes… guest houses, bed & breakfasts, lodges, inns, small hotels etc.

  ^ Back to top Communication

Generally, when you book a room at a known hotel group, you know what to expect. However even if you have two guest houses next to each other on the same road, they may be worlds apart as they have: different owners; different decoration; different ambience, etc. At Magus we believe that all these factors add to the quality of your stay. We aim to provide you with a platform which enables constant communication between you and the guest house owner right up to the time you decide to book.

  ^ Back to top Security

The accommodation industry is notorious for its inability to easily collect deposits and payments before the guest has arrived. Setting up an online payment facility is expensive and many independent establishments do not have the resources to do it. The Magus Platform uses a technology called booksureTM which has been built with a focus on security. This means that the guesthouse can use these payment facilities at an affordable rate and you, the guest, can feel comfortable and secure to use our system when paying for your accommodation.


  ^ Back to top Partnership

Magus would like to partner with the guesthouses by charging commissions far lower than industry standard. This makes our services accessible to everyone, which will allow even the smaller guesthouse to provide a more professional service. This also means that the guesthouse owners can offer lower rates as they do not have to build in exorbitant commission structures into their rates.
