Your Booking Engine Matters More Than Your Website Design
Wednesday, April 22, 2026
If I had to pick one thing that independent hotels get wrong more consistently than anything else, it’s this: they spend time and money making their website look good, and then they plug in a booking engine that undoes all of it at the last moment. I understand why it happens. Website design is visible and tangible. You can look at it, show it to people, feel proud of it. A booking engine is more of a back-office decision - something you evaluate against a list of features, maybe demo a couple of options, and then move on.
