Inns and B&Bs

Websites for inns and bed and breakfasts.

Every guest who books from your own site instead of a travel site saves you the commission. Our job is the booking widget, so a guest on a phone can pick dates and book without giving up halfway.

What we look after

What an inn or B&B website has to do.

Take bookings directly

ThinkReservations, ResNexus and Cloudbeds each give you a booking widget for the site. We embed yours and check that it still opens after every update.

Show each room well

Guests choose a room from the photos. Each room gets a page of its own with its beds and rates, and the photos are sized to look sharp without slowing the page.

Answer the usual questions

Check-in time, pets and parking are what guests email about. We put them on a policies page and change it when you send a new rule.

Get inquiries to you

Wedding and group inquiries come through a form. We test it and set up your domain's mail records so those emails reach you.

Help guests find you

We add the structured data that tells search engines where you are and what kind of place you run. The SEO and AI search add-on, at $50 a month, goes further.

Stay secure and backed up

Malware scanning and a firewall protect the site, and backups run twice a day and are kept off-site for 30 days.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • The booking widget stopped loading after an update, and we lost a weekend of direct bookings before a guest called.
  • Most of our bookings come through the big travel sites, and the commission adds up.
  • The room photos are huge, and the pages take forever on a phone.
  • The rates and packages page still shows last season.
A note from Ryan

Every direct booking counts

With an inn, I go straight to the booking button and try it on my phone, from the room page through to picking dates. That's the part that breaks, either because the widget stops loading after an update or because the room pages are so heavy that a guest gives up first. When it works, more guests book with you and fewer go back to the travel sites.

Send me a message

Are guests booking direct, or through a travel site?

Send us your site and we'll walk through a booking on a phone, from the room page to the confirmation, and tell you what we'd change.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

Yes, nearly every booking engine gives you a widget or a link to put on the site. We add it, try the calendar on a phone, and roll back any update that breaks it.

It can help, though we can't promise a number. A fast site with good room pages and a booking button on every page makes it easier for a guest to book with you than with a travel site.

Yes, on Managed + Website. We build it and host it, and when rates or packages change for the season, you email us and we update them.

Yes. On Managed, at $50 a month, we move it for free and handle updates, backups and security while you keep editing it yourself.

What customers say.

Reviews from Trustpilot

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.

Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment
Adam C.
Great customer service! I have multiple websites hosted on Hosterr. Setup was seamless and super easy, customer service has always been fantastic and quick to respond. I've had 100% uptime with no issues. Would recommend Hosterr to anyone looking for a reliable webhost.

I use Hosterr for multiple websites. I recommend them to anyone who needs hosting! I have never had an issue with downtime and my sites are blazing fast. Also their customer service is unmatched, leagues better than GoDaddy.
