How can we help?
Answers for everyone who books a desk or parking space. Administrators will find setup instructions in the Documentation.
Getting started
How do I get an account?
Open your organisation's address (for example yourcompany.booking-desks.com). If your company has Google or Microsoft sign-in, just sign in with your work account: your account is created on the spot.
Otherwise choose Request access on the sign-in page, enter your work email and follow the link we send. Only addresses on your company's email domains can register. If yours is not accepted, ask your administrator.
A colleague booked a desk for me. How do I see it?
You received an email with the booking. Sign in at your organisation's address with Google or Microsoft, or follow the link in the email to set a password. The booking is already in your account.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Open your organisation's address in your phone's browser and add it to your home screen: in Safari tap Share → Add to Home Screen, in Chrome tap Install app. It then opens like an app and can send check-in reminders.
Booking desks
How do I book a desk?
- Choose Book in the menu.
- Pick one or more days and a time slot: morning, afternoon or the full day.
- Choose a suggested desk or tap one on the floor plan.
- Select Confirm booking.
How do I book a desk for a colleague?
On the booking page, switch Booking for to A colleague. Pick someone from your team, search by name or email, or type the email address of someone who has no account yet. Then choose the days and desk as usual. Your colleague is emailed the booking.
Why can't I select some days?
Your organisation decides which weekdays are open and can close individual dates, such as public holidays. Closed weekdays are not shown, and closed dates show as Closed. Days you already have a booking for show as Booked.
How far ahead can I book?
You can book up to two weeks ahead.
How do I cancel a booking?
Open the booking from your dashboard and choose Cancel. The desk becomes free for others immediately. Please cancel as soon as you know you will not come in.
How do I see where my team is sitting?
Add colleagues on the Team page by their work email. Your dashboard then shows where they sit today, and booking suggestions put you near them. You can see a colleague's two-week schedule when you follow each other.
Check-in
What is check-in and why do I need it?
If your organisation uses check-in, you confirm on the day that you are really using your desk, between the opening time and the deadline your administrator set. Bookings that are not checked in by the deadline are released so someone else can use the desk.
Do I always have to check in?
Only if your organisation uses check-in. Each organisation decides whether to use it and sets its own check-in window. The User guide in the app shows how yours is set up.
How do I check in?
Tap Check in on today's booking on your dashboard. Turn on reminders in Account to get a push notification or email before the deadline.
I missed the deadline and lost my desk. What now?
Book again: if the desk is still free you can take it straight back, otherwise choose another one.
Parking and carpools
How do I book a parking space?
Open Parking in the menu or use the parking card on your dashboard, pick the day and choose a space on the plan. You can have one parking booking per day. Parking does not need check-in.
How do carpools work?
When you book a space as the driver, add up to four colleagues as passengers. They see the booking straight away. Everyone in the car counts as having parking that day.
Why are some spaces marked for carpools?
Carpool-only spaces are held for cars with at least one passenger until 18:00 the evening before. After that, anyone can book them.
Locations and weather
Why is there no parking, or no desks, at my location?
Each location can have desks, parking or both, depending on how your organisation set it up. Booking a desk lists the locations that have desks, and Parking lists every parking level, whichever location it belongs to.
Why do I see the weather for another city?
The weather follows the location where your desk is booked today, otherwise your preferred location. If your organisation has several locations, switch between them from the weather box; the app remembers your choice on that device.
If no weather is shown, your administrators have not chosen a city for that location yet.
Account and sign-in
I forgot my password.
Choose Forgot password on the sign-in page and follow the link we email you. If you sign in with Google or Microsoft, reset your password there instead.
It says my account belongs to a different organisation.
Each account belongs to one organisation and works only at that organisation's address. Check that you opened the right address, for example yourcompany.booking-desks.com.
How do I change which notifications I get?
Open Account and switch email confirmations, cancellation emails, check-in reminders and push notifications on or off.
Plans and billing
Are prices with or without VAT?
Prices exclude VAT. Slovak VAT at 23% is added for customers in Slovakia and for EU customers without a valid VAT ID. EU businesses with a valid VAT ID are invoiced under the reverse charge. See Terms and conditions.
How do we pay?
We invoice at the start of each monthly or yearly period, and you pay by bank transfer. A new organization paying yearly gets a lower price for its first year; after that the year renews at twelve times the monthly rate.
What happens if an invoice is not paid?
We send a reminder on the due date. If payment has not arrived 7 days after the due date, the workspace is suspended until it does. It is restored as soon as we receive payment. Data of a workspace that stays unpaid is deleted 30 days after suspension, after a final warning.
Can we change plan or cancel?
Yes. Upgrades apply immediately, downgrades from the next period. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time, effective at the end of the month. Write to billing@booking-desks.com.
Still stuck?
Write to support@booking-desks.com from the address you sign in with, and tell us your organisation's address.
