# How does SimpleSpa handle double booking for online appointments?

SimpleSpa has a sophisticated algorithm in place that checks the time and duration of the client who is booking an appointment online with the staff and slot if it is actually available. And unlike other software SimpleSpa only prompts your user that the time selected is not available without showing any more information about your scheduled appointments. Double booking is available by default and you can add as many double booked appointments within SimpleSpa.
