OTAs charge you commission on guests who already chose you.

Up to $100,000 a year, straight to OTA commissions. For guests who already chose you. Who already love your hotel. Who would book direct — if you made it easy.

85%

of guests book on OTAs

OTAs have SEO, loyalty programs, and review trust. Your website has a phone number. Kivarra gives guests a real reason to book direct.

$80k

Average annual OTA fees

A 30-room hotel at $150 ADR and 20% OTA commission loses $80,000/year. Profit you earned for a platform that doesn't know your guests' names.

One Email

doesn't work

A single thank-you email isn't enough. Kivarra automatically sends a post-checkout sequence to turn past guests into future direct bookings.

The direct booking stack. Installed in 30 minutes.

A direct booking button on your website. Done in 5 minutes.

A 5-minute install adds a "Book Direct" widget to your site that sends visitors to your own Kivarra-hosted booking page. Inquiries land in your inbox. OTAs aren't involved.

Ask your assistant anything. It gets it done.

Need to know who checked out this week? Done. Want to remove a guest from the sequence? Done. Kivarra's assistant handles it in plain English, logs every action, and never acts without your confirmation.

Ask anything about your property

Who checked out this week? Which guests are overdue for a follow-up? Kivarra knows your property and answers in plain English.

Handle guest requests instantly

A guest asks to be removed from emails. Tell Kivarra. It handles it end-to-end and confirms what was done.

Everything the agent does is logged

Every action is recorded, auditable, and reversible. You stay in control. The assistant does the work.

Built for hotel operators, not IT departments.

Revinate and Cendyn charge $500/month and take three months to onboard. They're built for 500-room chains with revenue managers and IT staff. Kivarra is built for the owner who runs the front desk, manages the bookings, and still has to answer emails after dinner.

30 minutes to set up.

One line of code. Works on WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, or any static site. No IT team, no onboarding calls, no waiting.

Works with any PMS.

Drop in a CSV export from any PMS. Kivarra's import assistant maps your columns, deduplicates returning guests, and tells you exactly what it did — in plain English.

Legal. Compliant. Proven.

Your PMS guest data belongs to you, not the OTAs. Revinate and Guestfolio have operated on this exact legal basis for 15+ years.

See what OTAs are actually costing you.

Most operators already know it's bad. This just shows you the exact number.

"Is this actually allowed?"

Yes. Your guest data belongs to you. OTA terms restrict solicitation during a stay — not after checkout. Kivarra waits 24 hours before sending anything, the same approach Revinate and Guestfolio have used for 15+ years. GDPR, CAN-SPAM, and unsubscribes handled automatically.

"Is the AI assistant actually useful for a small hotel?"

Yes — especially for small hotels. You don't have a front desk manager dedicated to CRM work. The assistant handles the routine requests — removing a guest from emails, looking up a booking, checking this week's stats — so you can focus on the guests in front of you.
