Direct booking instead of portal commission
We embed your booking system (e.g. Little Hotelier, Beds24) or set up a booking enquiry — every direct booking saves the 15–25% commission that otherwise goes to the portal.

Where guests drop off before booking.
- 01
Almost every booking runs through Booking.com or Expedia — and 15–25% commission goes to the portal every time, not to you.
- 02
Guests find you on the portal, but your own site is outdated or missing — the direct, commission-free route stays unused.
- 03
The photos are old and dark: guests who can't see rooms and breakfast appetisingly book the place next door instead.
- 04
Enquiries about free dates, groups or long stays only come by phone — evenings and weekends nobody reaches you.
- 05
For “hotel + your town”, Google shows the portals and chains first — your guesthouse barely appears.
The portal brings the guest once — your own site keeps them.
A guest who arrives via Booking.com costs 15–25% commission. The same guest booking direct the second time costs nothing — for that, your own site has to convince.
The portals are convenient and bring reach — but every booking costs 15–25% commission, and the guest "belongs" to the portal, not to you. The lever isn't to switch the portals off, but to win the guest onto the commission-free route next time: someone who knows your own site after their stay — with good photos, clear rooms and a booking button — books the second trip direct.
What decides it is the first impression on a phone. Someone searching for a place to stay in the evening decides in seconds by the photo — bright rooms, an inviting breakfast table, a visible price per night and a way to book or enquire straight away. That's exactly what we build: the site that turns the one-off portal guest into a returning direct booker.
// Guest catchment & direct booking
Where your guests travel from — and book you direct.
We build hotel and guesthouse sites for hosts right across the region. Each one is tuned for "hotel + town", inviting room photos and a direct-booking route — so the traveller searching on their phone tonight lands on your own site and books with you, instead of paying Booking.com or Expedia the 15–25% commission that should stay with you.
What your hotel site offers.
Rooms & categories with prices
Single, double and family rooms clearly listed with amenities, photos and price per night — guests instantly see what fits and book with fewer questions.
Inviting photo gallery
Your rooms, the breakfast and the surroundings in good light — presented appetisingly, because with a hotel the eye decides the booking.
Breakfast, amenities & arrival
Wi-Fi, parking, pets, check-in times, breakfast and directions at a glance — exactly the questions guests ask before booking.
Reviews, map & click-to-call
Google reviews, location on the map and call with one tap — built mobile-first, so travellers on the move book or call immediately.
Found locally & multilingual
Local SEO for “hotel + your town”, loads in seconds — multilingual (English) on request, so international guests book directly too.

Host site: manufaktur, agency or website builder?
Three ways to a hotel website — compared honestly. What counts is how fast direct bookings run without portal commission, how much lands on you beside the front desk and who answers for it if it's not right.

Common questions
-
Can guests book directly through the site?
Yes. We embed your booking system like Little Hotelier or Beds24 or set up a booking enquiry — guests book directly with you around the clock, and every direct booking saves the portal commission. -
Does the site replace Booking.com and Expedia?
No — it wins bookings back. The portals bring reach but cost 15–25% commission per booking. Your own site is the commission-free route: many guests find you via the portal and book directly next time when you have a strong presence. -
What does it cost?
A fixed price from the Minimum plan, with no hidden costs. You can see the exact plans above — backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Just a few saved commissions already cover the site.
More questions
-
Can I maintain rooms, prices and seasons myself?
On the Pro plan you edit rooms, prices and seasonal rates yourself — updates are online in minutes. On Minimum and Growth we update them for you, usually the same day. -
How quickly is my site online?
Usually within 7 days of booking. You see the finished hotel site before it goes live and approve it — we work in your change requests along the way.
