Direct-booking website

A hotel website that takes the booking on your own domain.

Fast on a phone, with the full price shown up front and payment on your own site. We design it, build it, and run it.

Where the direct booking is lost

A guest finds you on Booking.com and searches your name to book direct. Your site is slow on her phone, the booking button sends her to another domain, and the taxes only show up at the end. She goes back to Booking.com. You pay 15 to 20 percent commission on a guest who wanted to book with you.

Fixing that is what the website is for.

What a site that converts has

  • Loads fast on a phone, where most of your guests are.
  • Shows live availability and the full price, taxes included, before asking for anything.
  • Takes the booking and the payment on your own domain, in your brand.
  • Offers the transfer, breakfast, or late checkout at the step where guests say yes.
  • Follows up when a guest starts a booking and stops. See workflows.
  • Reports what it took every month, so you know it is working.

Works with what you have

We connect to your property management system, channel manager, and payment provider. Nothing to migrate.

The demo hotel

Ilha Lume is a fictional property we built so you can click through the whole journey, from stay cards to payment, with no real guest data.

Questions operators ask

Do we keep our domain and our content?

Yes. The domain, the brand, the photos, and the guest records are yours. We run the site on your behalf and hand it over if we part ways.

Do we have to change our property management system?

No. We work with what you have and connect to it. If you have nothing yet, we choose with you.

Can it work with our existing booking engine?

Yes. We connect to the booking engine and property management system you already use.

What about the OTAs?

Keep them. The OTAs bring guests who do not know you yet. The website is there so the guest who searches your name books with you rather than through them.

How long until it is live?

One to two weeks for a single property once we have your photos and content. Larger properties and collections take longer, and we tell you how long on the first call.

How do you charge?

A percentage of the bookings made through us, so we only win when you win. Fixed pricing is available if you prefer it.
