Independent hotels
Most bookings come through Booking.com and other sites, and the commission takes the margin.
What we build
Hotel booking engine and marketing app
We build direct booking engines, guest apps and marketing tools for hotels and resorts, connected to your property management system and channel manager. More guests can book with you directly, and you keep the relationship after they check out.
Who it's for
Resorts and boutique groups
Several properties need one brand, one booking engine and one guest list.
Serviced apartments and villas
Long stays, deposits and house rules do not fit a standard booking flow.

Scope it in 60 seconds
Three questions. You get the shape of the first two weeks and the stages after, and you can send it to an engineer as your brief.
Questions buyers ask
Will it work with our PMS?
Yes, if your PMS or channel manager has an official interface, as most do. We confirm it on the first call.
Can we offer better rates than Booking.com?
You set the rates and perks. The engine can show member rates and extras for direct guests, within the terms of your agreements with the booking sites.
How much does a hotel booking engine cost?
The two-week prototype is a flat price agreed on the first call and shown in your currency. The guest app and marketing parts are quoted after it in stages with dates.
How long does it take to go live?
A booking engine with live rates runs after two weeks. Payments go live and the guest app follows in stages, each with a written date, planned around your busy season.
