Website Design for Hotels and Guest Houses

Make it easy for guests to book directly with you.

We build custom websites that showcase your property and make booking straightforward, from choosing a room and dates to paying online. You get an easy-to-use management dashboard and ownership of your website's code.

Let's Discuss Your Project

Already have a website? We can start with a free initial review and practical suggestions for improvement.

More Convenience for Your Guests. More Control for You.

  • Direct Bookings Without Platform Commissions

    Guests check availability, choose their stay and book through your website. These bookings carry no commission from a third-party booking platform. Your chosen payment provider's transaction fees still apply to online payments.

  • Easy Booking on Mobile

    Clear room information, easy-to-use buttons and a straightforward booking process. We design your website so guests can explore your property and book comfortably from their phones.

  • A Website You Own

    Pay once for development, with no monthly licence fee for the platform we build. Hosting, maintenance and any third-party services are separate costs, agreed upfront.

They've Chosen Your Property. How Easy Is It to Book?

A guest browses your rooms and likes what they see, but cannot find available dates or a total price. To book, they need to call or send an enquiry and wait for a reply. That extra step can send them back to a booking platform.

Your own online booking system makes the process simpler. Guests can check availability, review the booking conditions and complete their reservation in one place.

Booking platforms can continue to introduce new guests to your property. Your website provides an additional booking channel for people who already know you or find you through search, advertising and recommendations.

What could this look like in numbers?

At an illustrative commission rate of 15%, 100 room nights sold at €80 each would incur €1,200 in platform commissions.

This is an example, not a savings forecast. It excludes website costs, payment processing fees and the cost of attracting guests.

What's Included in Your Hotel or Guest House Website?

We define the features around how you take and manage bookings. The core solution includes:

Core Solution

  • Bespoke design that reflects your property's character and brand.
  • Room and amenity pages with photographs, descriptions and stay policies.
  • An availability and pricing calendar managed through your dashboard.
  • Online booking with clear steps and helpful information for guests.
  • Online deposit or full payment through an agreed payment provider, such as Stripe or myPOS.
  • Automatic confirmation emails with booking details.
  • A mobile-friendly experience for browsing and booking on a phone.
  • Technical SEO foundations, including a clear site structure, metadata and pages accessible to search engines.

Depending on your project, we can also add:

  • Additional languages for international guests.
  • Special offers, packages and gift vouchers.
  • Spa treatment bookings, if your property offers them.
  • Additional automated emails and reminders.
  • Integration with an existing property management system or channel manager, where the required connection is supported.

All included features and optional additions are set out in your proposal.

Technology That Makes Day-to-Day Management Easier

We build websites with Next.js and bespoke design. This lets us tailor the pages, booking process and management tools to your hotel or guest house.

For your team, that means a straightforward dashboard for updating rates, availability and content. For your guests, it means fast-loading pages and a clear path to booking.

We address performance, technical SEO and security throughout development. As your needs change, the website can be extended with new features and integrations, with the scope agreed separately.

From Our First Conversation to Your First Direct Booking

  1. Discovery and Website Review

    We discuss how you take bookings, which systems you use and what you want to improve. If you already have a website, we provide a free initial review and identify opportunities for improvement.

  2. Design and Development

    We agree the scope, create the design and build your website with the selected features. A typical project takes 3-6 weeks, depending on complexity, integrations and content readiness.

  3. Testing, Launch and Training

    We test bookings, payments and how the website works across devices. We also train your team to manage it. After launch, a six-month warranty covers fixes for technical defects in the solution we have developed.

How Much Does a Website with Online Booking Cost?

Hosting and technical maintenance are included for the first three months. After that, our package starts at €50 per month.

The final price depends on the website's scope, language versions, booking rules and required integrations. Payment provider fees and any external system charges are not included.

Before work begins, you receive a detailed proposal outlining the features, timeline and costs.
