    Online travel platforms bring guests, but each booking costs a commission. Every guest who books directly saves you that money and gives you a relationship you own.

    1. A website that takes bookings

    • Large, honest photos of rooms, views and facilities.
    • Room types with prices or “from” rates.
    • A booking engine or a simple enquiry form plus WhatsApp.
    • Location, how to reach you and nearby attractions.

    See website design for hotels.

    2. Offer a reason to book direct

    Free breakfast, early check-in, a room upgrade when available or a small discount for direct bookings. Mention it on your website and to every guest.

    3. Google Business Profile

    Keep photos, amenities and contact details complete. Reply to every review; future guests read your replies. See Google Business Profile for hotels.

    4. Instagram for the experience

    Show sunsets, food, rooms, activities and guest moments. Travellers plan trips visually.

    5. Capture past guests

    • Collect email and WhatsApp consent at check-in.
    • Send anniversary, long-weekend and seasonal offers.
    • Offer returning-guest rates.

    6. Make contact one tap away

    Add a WhatsApp chat button to your site with our chat button generator, and share a directions link from our Google Maps link generator with every booking.
