Websites for Hotels and Resorts in Kenya
Hotel websites that turn lookers into direct bookings: real photographs, clear rates and a booking path that works on a phone.
From KES 20,000 + VAT · prices exclude 16% VAT
Most guests meet your hotel on Booking.com, Expedia or Google first. Many then search your name to check the photos, the location and whether booking direct is cheaper. That search decides whether your own website earns the booking or sends the guest back to the agency.
Online travel agencies are useful for reach, but their commission is often 15% of the room rate or more. Every booking you move to your own site keeps that margin and gives you the guest's details for next time.
We build hotel and resort websites around one job: make booking direct easy, quick and clearly worth it.
Why hotels and resorts need a website that works
Four things a good site does for hotels and resorts that a Facebook page and a phone number cannot.
Direct bookings keep the margin
Every guest who books on your own site saves the agency commission on that stay.
Guests check you before they book
Even guests who book through an agency search your name first. Your own site decides what they find.
Conference and event income
Corporate buyers look for capacity, layouts and packages online. A clear events page brings requests the OTAs never will.
You keep the guest relationship
Direct guests give you their details, so you can invite them back without paying for them again.
What a good hotel or resort website does
The things that separate a site that brings in work from one that just exists. This is how we build for hotels and resorts.
-
Give every room type its own page
Real photographs, size, bed configuration, view and what is included. Guests book a room, not a property, and they want to see the one they are paying for.
-
Make the direct-booking advantage visible
If booking direct comes with something extra, say so beside the price. Some OTA contracts limit how a lower rate can be advertised, so we agree with you what can be shown.
-
Sell conferences and events separately
Conferences, weddings and retreats are steady income for many Kenyan hotels. Give each its own page with capacity, room layouts, packages and a request form.
-
State your classification
If the Tourism Regulatory Authority has classified your property, say so. Corporate buyers and travel agents look for it.
-
Collect only the guest data you need
Name, dates and contact details are enough to hold a booking. Passport details belong at check-in, not in a web form that ends up in an email inbox.

What hotels and resorts usually come to us with
Problems that come up again and again for hotels and resorts, and what we would actually do about each one.
“We pay heavy commission to the OTAs”
A booking path on your own site with a clear reason to use it — breakfast included, flexible cancellation, a better rate where your contracts allow — shown on every room page. We embed your existing booking engine or build a booking system if you have none.
More on web development“Resident and non-resident rates confuse guests”
Rate tables that separate resident (KES) and non-resident (USD) pricing, give season dates and say exactly what is included: meals, transfers, taxes and levies.
More on web development“Overseas guests struggle to pay a deposit”
Card payments for international guests and M-Pesa for residents, with the deposit and cancellation terms shown before anyone pays.
More on system development“Nobody finds us unless they know our name”
Pages for your location and the experiences around you, such as 'Diani beach hotel' or 'conference venue in Naivasha', and a Google Business Profile with photographs and the right pin.
More on seo“The gallery crawls on a phone”
Properly sized and compressed photographs, lazy loading and hosting tuned for image-heavy pages, so rooms load on mobile data.

Questions about hotel or resort websites
Usually, yes. Most booking engines and channel managers provide a widget or booking link that we place on your room pages, so availability stays in one system. We check yours during scoping.
Yes. A booking system with room types, availability, deposits and confirmation emails starts from KES 60,000 + VAT. A website that links to an external booking engine starts from KES 20,000 + 16% VAT.
Yes. M-Pesa suits residents and cards suit international guests. Payments are an add-on priced in your quote, and the deposit and cancellation terms are shown before the guest pays.
It can, if guests have a reason to book direct and the path is easy. Most hotels keep the OTAs for reach and use their own site to win repeat guests. We will not promise a percentage; it depends on your rates and how you market them.
Every site we build is SEO-ready, with pages for your location and the experiences nearby. The OTAs compete hard for hotel searches, so rankings depend on competition and ongoing work. Nobody can honestly guarantee position one.
