HORECA Booking is an online booking engine for accommodation operators such as hotels, villas, and apartments. It can be embedded into an existing or newly built hotel website, typically hosted on a hotel-specific horecabooking.com subdomain, with visitors guided to complete reservations via buttons, links, or a quick booking form. The system consists of a guest-facing booking engine and a hotel-side admin panel.
The guest-side flow is fairly complete: guests enter their stay preferences, choose a room type, fill in their details, and make payment. Once completed, they can print a voucher, while the guest receives an email and the hotel is also notified by email, with optional SMS notifications available. On the management side, hotels can maintain pricing, availability, room types, cancellation policies, payment policies, and display content. Key features include 13 languages, multiple currencies, real-time availability, Stop Sales, minimum/maximum stay restrictions, arrival/departure day restrictions, multiple price lists, customer segmentation, special offers, and deposit strategies.
Pricing is transparent. The Standard Plan has a 120€ setup fee, a 300€ annual fee, and 0€ per booking, with a 90-day money-back guarantee. The Pay-as-you-go plan has a 120€ setup fee, no annual fee, and charges 3% per booking, capped at 8€ per booking. Prices include VAT. Deployment is mainly via a cloud-hosted subdomain connected to the hotel’s official website; the source text does not mention self-hosting.
Payment options are relatively broad, including PayPal, online credit card payments, online submission of credit card details, bank transfers, and credit card details submitted by phone or fax. On the security side, only 256-bit SSL encryption is explicitly mentioned; PCI, GDPR, and other compliance information is not disclosed. The system includes initial configuration and training for one or more hotel representatives, but it does not specify permission roles, APIs, webhooks, or integrations with PMS or Channel Manager systems.
The main advantages are solid coverage of direct hotel booking scenarios, multilingual and multi-currency support, flexible payment options that are friendly to international guests, and two pricing models—annual fee or commission—suited to different booking volumes. The drawbacks are limited information about ecosystem integrations and developer capabilities, along with relatively weak disclosure around permissions and compliance. It is best suited to small and mid-sized hotels, as well as seasonal vacation accommodations, that want to start taking direct bookings quickly through their own website, are budget-conscious, and do not require complex system integrations.
The source text does not provide information about access from mainland China, Chinese-language customer support, or local payment methods. Although a Chinese interface and international cards/PayPal are supported, PayPal and overseas payments can still create friction for users in China. If your primary customer base is in China, it may be worth comparing Ctrip-related direct connection options, domestic hotel PMS solutions, or alternatives that support WeChat Pay and Alipay.
