Small hotels

A booking engine for small hotels, without a monthly bill.

Small hotels feel OTA commission most. goDirects gives you a booking page on your own website, keeps your direct price competitive and costs nothing until a guest has booked and paid.

What a small hotel needs.

Your own booking page

Mobile-first booking on your domain, with taxes and fees in the first price.

Price Match

Your direct price kept below the OTAs within a floor you set.

Pay at property

Take bookings with a card guarantee or with no card at all.

Breakfast and extras

Meal plans and add-ons sold with the room.

AI phone booking

Hotaler Voice answers calls and takes bookings when the desk is busy.

No monthly fee

No setup fee either. You pay only on confirmed, paid bookings.

Is this for you?

For hotels where the owner still answers the phone.

With 5 to 50 rooms, every booking matters and every hour at the desk counts. goDirects is set up so it does not need a person to run it.

  • You have between 5 and 50 rooms
  • OTA commission is one of your biggest costs
  • A monthly software fee is hard to justify in the low season
  • Many guests prefer to pay when they arrive
  • Calls come in when nobody is free to answer
  • You want to be bookable on Google and your website without a big project

A booking at a small hotel, without anyone at the desk.

Late evening, the owner is busy with guests. The booking still comes in.

    A guest finds you on Google

    They tap your free booking link and land on your booking page.

  2. 21:42

    They pick a room and breakfast

    The page shows the full price with taxes, in their currency.

  3. 21:44

    Pay at property

    They book with a card guarantee and will pay when they arrive.

  4. 21:44

    Both of you get an email

    The guest gets a confirmation, you get the booking details.

  5. 22:10

    Another guest calls

    Hotaler Voice answers, checks live availability and sends them a booking link.

With goDirects

  • More bookings arrive on your own page

Why small hotels feel OTA costs most

A small hotel has fewer rooms to spread fixed costs across, so every commission and every software fee takes a bigger share of revenue. That is why goDirects has no monthly fee and no setup fee: you pay only on confirmed, paid bookings.

Set up without an IT team

Our team loads your rooms, rates, taxes, photos and payment options with you. You add one button to your website and your Google listing, and your staff manage rates and bookings from one admin.

Pay at property, the way guests expect

Many guests at small hotels prefer to pay on arrival. Pay at property runs with a card guarantee or with no card at all, and you choose it per rate plan, so non-refundable online rates and flexible pay-on-arrival rates can sit side by side.

Answering calls you would miss

Hotaler Voice is an AI phone booking assistant. It answers when the desk is busy or closed, checks live availability and prices, and sends the caller a link to complete the booking.

Selling more than the room

Breakfast, half board, airport pick-ups and local tours can be added to the booking. Each extra can be priced per stay, per night or per person, with child prices where needed.

FAQ

Questions about Small Hotels

Is goDirects too much for a 10-room hotel?

No. The same booking engine works for a few rooms or hundreds. Small hotels usually start with the booking engine, Price Match and pay at property.

Do I need a website first?

A website helps, but the booking engine runs on its own page and can be linked from your Google listing and social profiles.

What does it cost?

There is no monthly fee and no setup fee. You pay only on confirmed, paid bookings.

Can I close rooms or dates quickly?

Yes. ARI Studio lets you stop sell, close to arrival or departure and set minimum stays per date and room type.

Will my OTA bookings still work?

Yes. goDirects adds a direct channel. With the barrates channel manager, availability stays in step across your OTAs and your own booking page.

Can guests see prices in their own currency?

Yes. Guests see converted prices for reference and are charged in your hotel's currency.

Is there a contract or minimum term?

We go through the terms with you in the demo. There is no monthly fee and no setup fee.

Can I take a deposit instead of full payment?

We check the payment options available for your country in the demo. Pay at property and card guarantees are available for every hotel.
