Booking.com takes 15–25%. Direct booking is your highest-margin channel — build it before scaling ads.
Double bookings from manual sync destroy reviews. Database-level locking and PMS API sync are mandatory.
Mobile check-in, upsells, and concierge chat increase ADR — a widget alone doesn't deliver this.
Rough estimates per feature. Our fixed-price MVP bundles all of these — see the full Hotel Booking App cost guide.
