For Independent UK Inns, B&Bs, and Boutique Hotels
Built for 5-20 room properties that are tired of paying 15-30% to Booking.com. Keep more of your revenue without enterprise complexity.
"Booking.com is Bleeding Us Dry"
Sound familiar? You're not alone.
The Reality
- • 15-30% commission on every OTA booking
- • With 50% profit margins, that's 40% of your actual profit
- • Average small property pays £15,000-£70,000/year in OTA fees
- • Rate parity clauses prevent offering direct booking discounts
The Emotional Toll
"I work my fingers to the bone to create a beautiful experience, and Booking.com takes £30 from every £150 booking. That's money I could invest in better linens, staff wages, or actually paying myself."
— Typical UK innkeeper, Yorkshire Dales
The math is brutal: A 10-room property at 60% occupancy paying 20% commission
you're paying Booking.com instead of keeping it yourself
What Could You Do with an Extra £40,000?
The Station Inn, Ribblehead, Yorkshire Dales
6 rooms • Owner-operated • 5 years on Keeper
"We've gone from £20,000 to £193,000 in annual bookings over 5 years using Keeper. Zero technical issues, zero downtime, zero headaches. Just straightforward booking management that works. The busiest weekend we ever had—47 bookings in 72 hours during a bank holiday—the system didn't even blink."
If they'd stayed on Booking.com at 20% commission, they'd be paying £38,600 per year in OTA fees. Instead, they pay £1,800/year for Keeper.
That's £36,800 they reinvest in the property, pay staff fairly, and actually take home as profit.
The Lakeside Guest House, Cornwall
8 rooms • Family-run • 2 years on Keeper
"We were paying Booking.com nearly £9,000 a year. With Keeper, that money goes into improving our property instead. Last year we renovated the master suite. This year we're upgrading the breakfast room. The guests notice, and they keep coming back."
Before Keeper: £8,600/year to OTAs • With Keeper: £1,300/year • Net savings: £7,300/year
