Looks like you're in . Want the local site?
Booking.com and Agoda take 15 to 25 percent on every booking they send you. Your website should be your highest-performing booking channel, not your most expensive one. Ignited Nepal builds hospitality websites for hotels, lodges, and resorts across Nepal that are engineered to bring bookings in direct.
You have a distinctive property with a strong guest experience, but your website does not reflect it. Most of your bookings arrive through Booking.com or Agoda at 18 to 25 percent commission. Your rates are competitive, but guests do not see a reason to book direct. You need a website that puts your property in full detail, shows the best rate, and converts the visitor before they click back to an OTA.
Your guests plan months ahead. They research deeply, compare properties on multiple platforms, and make decisions based on location, comfort level, and availability during the season. Your current website is a brochure, not a booking engine. You are leaving direct bookings on the table every time a guest confirms on Expedia instead of your own site.
You manage multiple properties or operate as part of a trekking package. Your website needs to handle multiple room types, seasonal pricing, and possibly multi-property enquiries. You need a site that is structured for SEO, loads fast on mobile in lower-bandwidth areas, and routes guests toward the booking channel with the lowest cost to you.
If your website has no integrated booking engine, or has one that is slow, confusing, or untrusted, guests will leave and complete the booking on Booking.com. You pay commission on every one. The fix is not just adding a booking button. It is building the full direct booking journey from the first page the guest lands on through to confirmation.
Guests who find you on an OTA will check your own website before booking. If they see the same price as the OTA, or cannot find your rate at all, they have no reason to book direct. A best rate guarantee module, shown prominently on the homepage and room pages, closes this gap.
Booking.com shows every room with full square meterage, bed type, floor plan, and photo gallery. If your own website shows a room name and one image, the OTA wins the comparison on information quality. Room pages need full specifications, gallery, occupancy details, inclusions, and a direct booking call to action.
Weddings, corporate retreats, and group travel are high-value bookings that often come through direct enquiry. If your website has no venue hire or events page, you are invisible to that search. Event organisers search specifically for venue pages with capacities, layouts, catering options, and enquiry forms.
We start with a structured review of your property, your current booking mix, your OTA dependency, and your highest-value guest segments. This brief shapes every structural and design decision that follows.
We design the full page structure before any design work begins. Room and suite pages, food and beverage pages, event and venue hire pages, local area guide, and loyalty or member rate section are all planned at this stage.
Every key page is wireframed to map the guest journey from arrival to booking. The wireframe stage is where we solve conversion problems before they become design problems.
We design hospitality websites that match the character of the property and perform under traffic. The design system covers mobile, tablet, and desktop. Every visual decision serves the booking journey.
We build on a platform suited to your property scale and connect your booking engine — Cloudbeds, SiteMinder, or a direct API — so rates and availability are live on your site. The rate comparison module and best rate guarantee are built into the homepage and room pages.
Every room gets a full page: specifications, occupancy, inclusions, gallery, and direct booking CTA. Food and beverage pages cover restaurant hours, menus, and reservation links. Event and venue hire pages carry capacity information, layout options, and enquiry forms.
TripAdvisor and Google review feeds are integrated into the site. Booking source tracking is configured in Google Analytics so you can see exactly what percentage of bookings are coming through direct versus OTA, and measure the financial impact of the shift.
We audit your current website, your booking source data, and your OTA dependency. We map where guests are dropping off and where commission is being paid unnecessarily. The output is a written brief that defines the project scope, the booking engine to be integrated, and the page structure.
We build the sitemap and wireframe every key page. Room pages, event pages, and the homepage booking flow are all mapped at this stage. You review and approve before any design begins.
Design and build happen in sequence. You review the design before build starts. The build includes booking engine integration, rate comparison module, review feeds, and all content pages. We test across devices and browsers before launch.
We launch and configure booking source tracking so you know from day one what share of bookings are coming through direct. We provide a handover document and a 30-day post-launch review.
A full hospitality website with booking engine integration, room pages, event pages, and review feeds typically takes 8 to 10 weeks from brief to launch. Timelines extend if content — photography, room specifications, and copy — is not ready at the start of the build phase. We provide a content checklist at the brief stage to avoid delays.
We integrate with Cloudbeds, SiteMinder, and direct booking engine APIs. For smaller properties in Nepal that do not yet use a channel manager, we can build a direct booking flow using a lightweight reservation system. The right engine depends on your property size and how many OTA channels you manage.
A best rate guarantee module is a widget that shows the guest your direct rate against the OTA rate, side by side, and confirms that your direct rate is the lowest available. It is displayed on the homepage and room pages. When this is paired with a small direct booking incentive — a complimentary breakfast, early check-in, or room upgrade — it consistently increases direct bookings over OTA bookings.
We work with properties of all sizes, from small trekking lodges in the Annapurna and Everest regions to multi-property boutique hotel groups in Kathmandu and Pokhara. The scope is adjusted to the property scale, and the booking engine solution is matched accordingly.
TripAdvisor and Google review feeds can be integrated directly into the website so that reviews display on your homepage, room pages, or a dedicated reviews page without the guest needing to leave your site to verify them. This is a direct trust signal that shortens the path from research to booking.
Not a black box. Real specialists you can call, with their names on the work.
If your property is paying 15 to 25 percent commission on bookings that could come through your own website, the first step is understanding exactly where those bookings are being lost. We offer a hospitality website diagnostic that maps your current booking sources, identifies the gaps in your direct booking journey, and outlines what a rebuilt website would change.
