Dortmund at a glance
- around 600,000 Residents
- TU Dortmund & Dortmund UAS Universities
- logistics, technology & services in the Ruhr area Character
With around 600,000 residents, Dortmund is the largest city in the Ruhr area, and on BVB match days or during fairs at the Westfalenhallen the houses fill up fast. Many of those guests land on a booking portal first — with a commission of often 15 to 25 percent that eats into your margin. A guesthouse or hotel in Dortmund that is found on mobile for “hotel Dortmund” and is directly bookable keeps the earnings in its own house.
Filling up predictably on match days and fair dates
In Dortmund you can almost read the occupancy calendar off the BVB fixture list and the dates at the Westfalenhallen: on those days a large number of out-of-town guests look for a room at short notice, often from their phones. A house near the city centre, in the Kreuzviertel or in Hörde that shows up right away with a clear, mobile-bookable site gets the enquiry — instead of losing it to a portal.
During these demand peaks every commission-free booking counts twice, because the rooms are in demand anyway and need not be filled through an OTA at 15 to 25 percent commission. Combine that with the regular business travellers from Aplerbeck or Hombruch, and you build a base of direct guests that keeps the earnings in your own house.
Whether the Kreuzviertel or Hörde — Dortmund searches by district:
- Kreuzviertel
- Hörde
- Innenstadt
- Aplerbeck
- Hombruch

What your hotel site offers.
Direct booking instead of portal commission
We embed your booking system (e.g. Little Hotelier, Beds24) or set up a booking enquiry — every direct booking saves the 15–25% commission that otherwise goes to the portal.
Rooms & categories with prices
Single, double and family rooms clearly listed with amenities, photos and price per night — guests instantly see what fits and book with fewer questions.
Inviting photo gallery
Your rooms, the breakfast and the surroundings in good light — presented appetisingly, because with a hotel the eye decides the booking.
Breakfast, amenities & arrival
Wi-Fi, parking, pets, check-in times, breakfast and directions at a glance — exactly the questions guests ask before booking.
Reviews, map & click-to-call
Google reviews, location on the map and call with one tap — built mobile-first, so travellers on the move book or call immediately.
Found locally & multilingual
Local SEO for “hotel + your town”, loads in seconds — multilingual (English) on request, so international guests book directly too.
Bring-a-buddy.

Where guests drop off before booking.
Without your own site
- Almost every booking runs through Booking.com or Expedia — and 15–25% commission goes to the portal every time, not to you.
- Guests find you on the portal, but your own site is outdated or missing — the direct, commission-free route stays unused.
- The photos are old and dark: guests who can't see rooms and breakfast appetisingly book the place next door instead.
- Enquiries about free dates, groups or long stays only come by phone — evenings and weekends nobody reaches you.
- For “hotel + your town”, Google shows the portals and chains first — your guesthouse barely appears.
With your own site
- Direct booking instead of portal commission
- Rooms & categories with prices
- Inviting photo gallery

Three steps to a finished site.
As smooth as a good check-in: everything prepared, the guest just has to arrive. You book, we build the host's site.
Book a plan
You book your plan directly online, securely via Stripe by card or SEPA — settled faster than taking a reservation by phone.
A short pre-chat
We get in touch within one business day. You tell us about rooms, rates and direct booking — copy, images and tech are on us.
Approve — then live
You see the finished host's site, tell us what to change and approve. Usually online 7 days after booking.
Host site: manufaktur, agency or website builder?
Three ways to a hotel website — compared honestly. What counts is how fast direct bookings run without portal commission, how much lands on you beside the front desk and who answers for it if it's not right.

-
How does my own site help on BVB match days when the rooms are in demand anyway?
Especially then, because when demand is high you give away 15 to 25 percent through a portal on a booking you would have got directly anyway. A site that is found on mobile for “hotel Dortmund” and is bookable without detours catches the short-notice match-day and fair enquiries from the city centre and the Kreuzviertel before they land on an OTA. -
Can guests book directly through the site?
Yes. We embed your booking system like Little Hotelier or Beds24 or set up a booking enquiry — guests book directly with you around the clock, and every direct booking saves the portal commission. -
Does the site replace Booking.com and Expedia?
No — it wins bookings back. The portals bring reach but cost 15–25% commission per booking. Your own site is the commission-free route: many guests find you via the portal and book directly next time when you have a strong presence.
More questions
-
What does it cost?
A fixed price from the Minimum plan, with no hidden costs. You can see the exact plans above — backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Just a few saved commissions already cover the site. -
Can I maintain rooms, prices and seasons myself?
On the Pro plan you edit rooms, prices and seasonal rates yourself — updates are online in minutes. On Minimum and Growth we update them for you, usually the same day. -
How quickly is my site online?
Usually within 7 days of booking. You see the finished hotel site before it goes live and approve it — we work in your change requests along the way.
