Booking Engine
Direct bookings without giving up 18% to Booking.com.
Commission-free booking widget for your own website, with cart, promo codes, upsells and multi-language checkout.
Own the booking, own the guest.
Every direct booking is a guest email you own, a payment that skips the OTA fee, and a first message you can send without going through Booking chat. Guest Talk includes a booking engine you can embed on any website — WordPress, Webflow, Wix, Ghost or a static HTML site — in under ten minutes.
The widget renders in your brand: your fonts, your colours, your button style. Multi-language checkout switches based on the browser locale. Currency is auto-picked with a user override. Rooms, rates, packages and add-ons come straight from the same catalogue that feeds your OTAs, so there is nothing to duplicate.

Google Hotel Ads and metasearch out of the box.
Google Hotel Ads free links are the highest-intent traffic on the internet. Your listing appears next to the Booking price with a link straight to your direct rate. Guest Talk generates the transaction feed for Google and the ARI feed for Trivago, Kayak and TripAdvisor at no extra cost. You just plug in the account IDs and enable the channel.
Paid metasearch bidding is available in the Growth and Scale plans. A rules-based bidder targets the routes that convert for you, with a daily budget cap and a bid strategy per market.
Abandoned checkout with a discount tail.
About 60% of hotel checkouts on any site are abandoned. Guest Talk captures the intent (dates, room type, party size, email if entered) and sends a two-step recovery: a plain reminder at 30 minutes, then a small percentage discount at 24 hours. The discount is created as a single-use promo code tied to the abandoned quote, so it cannot leak to price-comparison sites. Typical recovery lift: 3-6% of abandoned sessions.
