Booking.com and Airbnb are great marketing tools, but terrible partners, taking 15-20% of revenue. Implement QloApps – your own booking system that turns visitors into paying guests. Without intermediaries.

Is your website just a business card without booking capabilities? Clients visit, see photos, and then... go to Booking.com to pay. At this moment, you lose control and money.
With 50,000 PLN monthly turnover, you give portals about 8,000 - 10,000 PLN. Annually, that's the cost of a new car.
20% loss
When a guest books via a portal, they are the portal's customer, not yours. Often you don't even get their real email, just an alias. You can't send them a Christmas offer.
You are at the mercy of the algorithm. One change in ranking on the portal and your occupancy drops by half. Your own system means business security.
Many web developers offer hotels simple WordPress sites with a contact form. This doesn't work nowadays. The client wants to check availability in real-time, choose a room, order breakfast in bed, and pay via BLIK/Card.
QloApps is a comprehensive Open Source system. It allows managing room types, seasonal prices, refunds, and add-ons. And most importantly – as Web Berserker, I integrate it with Polish payment gateways (Przelewy24, PayU, Stripe).
Afraid of Overbooking? Unnecessarily. I implement QloApps Channel Manager, which connects your own system with giants. When someone books a room on Booking.com, QloApps automatically blocks that date on your website.
QloApps allows selling more than just stays. During booking, the client can add: airport transfer, parking space, wine to the room, or SPA treatment. You increase the average basket value.
Managing a chain of apartments in different locations? QloApps supports multiple properties in one panel. You can create separate subpages for each hotel.
Yes, the software is Open Source. You don't pay monthly subscriptions or reservation commissions. You only pay once for my implementation, configuration, and training service, and for hosting (server).
I integrate the system with Polish operators (Przelewy24, PayU, Tpay) or global ones (Stripe, PayPal). Money from the client goes directly to your bank account, without intermediaries.
Absolutely not! That would be risky. I suggest a hybrid strategy: keep Booking.com for acquiring new clients, but direct returning guests to your own site (offering them e.g. 10% discount - that's still less than Booking's commission).
Yes, QloApps has a fully responsive frontend (client site) and admin panel. Guests can conveniently book rooms on smartphones.
Stop paying "tax" to OTAs. Build an independent Direct Booking sales channel.
