Hotelchamp launches a new Booking Engine to beat the power of OTA booking apps

Hotelchamp announces the launch of their innovative Booking Engine—the fourth product in a suite of direct conversion tools designed to help hoteliers drive traffic, improve the experience on their websites and drive direct revenue.

We’re thrilled to introduce a booking engine that redefines what’s possible in hotel technology. For the first time, hoteliers have a tool that matches the power and sophistication of the largest OTAs, built specifically to help them take full control of their direct bookings. Designed by leading conversion experts, this engine is not just about transactions—it’s about delivering a personalised guest experience from the first click. This groundbreaking solution gives hotels the competitive edge they need, offering guests a seamless and intuitive journey while allowing hoteliers to maximise revenue and foster closer relationships with their customers. Kristian Valk, CEO and Founder at Hotelchamp

The Hotelchamp Booking Engine aims to help hoteliers match the power of OTA technology with expert solutions, advanced conversion, and a single-page experience. By keeping guests on the same domain, the booking engine nurtures a seamless transition from browsing to booking, supporting zero loading time and easy navigation. On top of that, it uses industry-proven conversion tactics like review summaries, dynamic personalised content and scarcity tags, as well as easy solutions for creating return loops and facilitating one-click check-out solutions.

OTAs have spent years driving guests to book through their apps, and it's working. Recent data from Booking.com shows that over half of their bookings now come from their app. The reason: it’s fast, easy to use, and designed for mobile. Surveys consistently highlight speed, ease of use, and convenience as the key reasons guests choose OTAs like Booking.com over booking directly. At Hotelchamp, we’ve developed a booking engine that delivers the same experience as an OTA app. It’s fast, intuitive, and packed with best-in-class conversion tools, from mobile payments like Apple Pay to personalised content and reviews. Luke Terheyden-Keighley, Head of Product and Data at Hotelchamp

Well-known for Convert, one of the industry’s favourite Direct Booking tools, Hotelchamp's suite of tools helps hoteliers get more control over their direct channel throughout the guest journey, from traffic acquisition to conversion. The new Hotelchamp Booking Engine is the next step in helping hoteliers get closer to their guests. Developed by conversion experts, it aims to provide hoteliers with an OTA app-like experience, without having to rely on multiple providers, face a disjointed experience and deal with high OTA commissions.
