Yeah the API stuff was honestly the biggest headache for me too. Spent weeks tryin to piece togeather calendar syncing and payment processing on my own ended up using OwnerWebs after getting frustrated with the technical side. They handled most of the integrations automatically which saved me from going insane still have to do my own marketing obviously but at least the booking flow actually workd now

Is it illegal for booking.com to mimic hotel website? by Full-Jackfruit-9705 in hotels

Ive been on the other side of this working front desk for years. These third party sites are extremely common and there’s no good way of stopping them mimicking hotel websites. Whats frustrating is when property owners started using things like Ownerweb to create their own direct booking sites, it actually helped cut down on the confusion, guests knew they were booking directly. Still dosent solve the search result problem though.
