Guest house online booking system that keeps the commission with you

Take bookings on your own website with live availability, keep every OTA in sync, and stop paying commission on guests who wanted to book with you anyway.

Try the live demo

Compare an OTA booking with a direct one

In the live demo, send the same stay twice: once from Booking.com with the commission rate you pay today, once through Direct. The commission comparison shows the dollar difference for that single booking. Then turn channel sync on and watch the direct booking close the dates on every OTA in the same moment.

  • Availability per channel per night, updated live
  • Tape chart with the new direct stay placed in its room

Guesthouse booking system on your own website

A guesthouse that sells mostly through OTAs pays commission on nearly every night. Many of those guests visit the guesthouse website before they book, find no way to reserve, and go back to the OTA. The hotel booking engine in Innkeeper adds a booking form to your website that reads live availability and rates from the same calendar the front desk uses. The guest picks dates and a room, sees the price and books. Innkeeper takes no commission on that booking. On the Hotel plan and above, the guest can pay online or leave a deposit at the moment of booking, so a direct booking is as secure as one from an OTA.

  • Commission-free on every plan
  • Deposits and online payments at booking on Hotel and above
  • Guest emails sent for you after every direct booking on Hotel and above

Guest house management software for OTA-heavy properties

Moving guests to direct booking takes time, and the OTAs remain an important source of new guests. Innkeeper keeps them working. With channel manager software connected, every booking from any source closes the same nights everywhere else, so selling on four channels carries no extra overbooking risk. The Inn plan connects up to four channels. The Hotel plan connects as many as you need and pushes rates and restrictions two ways.

Returning guests book with you

Guest profiles keep every previous stay, contact detail and note. When a guest who first came through an OTA writes to ask about next summer, you see their history and can send them straight to your own booking page. On the Hotel plan, AI reply drafts prepare an answer to guest messages for you to check and send, which saves time in the busy months.

One calendar behind every channel

All bookings, direct or not, land on the same tape chart in the hotel reservation software. You see the week ahead, move stays between rooms with a conflict check, and know exactly what is left to sell tonight.

Guesthouse software questions

How does a guest house online booking system differ from an OTA listing?

The booking form sits on your own website and the booking belongs to you. There is no commission per booking, and the guest's contact details stay with the guesthouse.

Can guests pay a deposit when they book online?

Yes, on the Hotel plan and above. Online payments and deposits at booking are part of the Hotel plan at $149 per month.

Will Booking.com and Airbnb still get my availability?

Yes. Channel sync is included on every plan, and each booking closes the same nights on your other connected channels.

Do I need a new website?

No. The booking engine is added to the website you already have.
