Direct booking

Own your direct booking website

Every booking through an OTA costs you commission and the guest relationship. A direct booking website is the channel you own — where guests book with you, at your rates, and you keep the revenue.

See what OTAs cost you

A COP 480,000 night on an OTA pays you COP 408,000 — COP 72,000 to commission, at a typical 15%. On your own website it pays you COP 480,000: 0% commission, on every plan.

The short answer

A direct booking website is the channel you own — where guests book with you, at your rates, instead of through an OTA that takes roughly 15–20% commission and keeps the guest's details. PeakRooms gives an independent hotel that channel: a booking website generated from a short brief, with card payments (Book & pay) and one-tap WhatsApp requests built in. You keep the full rate and the guest relationship, hold rate parity so direct is always the smart choice, and can start free on a PeakRooms address before connecting your own domain.

The OTA tax adds up

A 15–20% commission on every stay is real money, and the marketplace keeps the guest's details — so you can't bring them back yourself. A direct channel is how independent hotels stop renting their own guests.

Why PeakRooms

What you get

  • Keep the whole rate

    No per-booking commission. The rate a guest pays direct is the rate you keep.

  • Own the guest relationship

    Direct bookings and guest details are yours — so the guest who loved their stay can book with you again, not through a marketplace.

  • Your rates, your rules

    Set your own pricing and hold rate parity so booking direct is always the smart choice.

  • Be found first for your own name

    A fast, structured official site is built to surface when a guest searches “book [your hotel] direct” — so they land on you, not an OTA bidding on your name.

  • Both ways to book

    Take card payments with Book & pay, or request-to-book over WhatsApp — whichever fits how you run.

Questions owners ask

How is a direct booking website different from an OTA listing?
An OTA rents you exposure and takes a commission on every stay while keeping the guest relationship. A direct booking website is your own channel — guests book with you, you keep the revenue, and you own the relationship.
Can I still use OTAs as well?
Yes. Most hotels use OTAs for reach and a direct booking website to convert the guests who'd rather book with them. PeakRooms is your direct channel alongside whatever else you run — and until channel sync lands (it's on the roadmap), block booked dates on your other channels so calendars never overlap.
Will guests trust booking direct?
A fast, professional site with clear rooms, rates, and a simple way to book builds the trust — and a better-than-OTA reason to book direct (no commission means you can pass on value).
