Hoteliers say
The Guestbook helps independent hotels drive more direct bookings, cut OTA commission costs, and give guests a simple cash-back or flexible rewards experience that supports repeat stays. Reviewers say it is easy to launch and manage, improves conversion and loyalty, and can extend a property’s reach through cross-network bookings and marketing exposure. Common gaps are limited reporting, merchandising/customization, network coverage, and automation around reconciliation and cancellations.

What is The Guestbook?
Founded in 2014 | Headquarters in Las Vegas (United States) | 45 employees
The Guestbook is a loyalty and direct-booking marketing platform for independent hotels and resorts. It helps properties drive more direct reservations, reduce OTA commission costs, and build stronger guest relationships through flexible rewards like cash back or future-stay credit. The platform supports repeat bookings, increases conversion, and gives hotels added exposure through its partner network, while fitting into existing hotel sales and marketing operations.

The Guestbook gives independent hotels a practical way to build guest loyalty and increase direct bookings without requiring a traditional points-based program. It creates meaningful value for guests while helping hotels reduce OTA dependence, strengthen repeat business, and own more of the guest relationship.
As a direct booking agency, we always preach the need to increase lifetime value with the customers you already have. The Guest Book helps us build that realationship / value over time through engaging loyalty programs that customers actually enjoy.
It’s a win-win for both guests and independent hoteliers, offering the benefits of a loyalty program without sacrificing the personal experience that makes independent hotels special. I have Guestbook at various properties and have implemented in previous positions.
As a revenue firm, RevOptimum looks for solutions converting direct brand site traffic. The Guestbook aligns with our pricing by offering instant cash-back rewards that successfully bypass OTA commission fees.

The Guestbook is designed specifically for independent hotels, making loyalty easier to launch and manage without the complexity of a large brand program. Its guest-focused rewards, direct-booking strategy, and independent-hotel network create value for both travelers and hotel operators.
They really care about providing an experience that reflects your property and providing the most value to the right type of guests. Amazing customer service, and the partnerships team is second to none.
I found it to be cohesive with the booking engine experience. Larger registered membership and hotel participation. Given their size, cross hotel production drives incremental occupancy. Can be part of your Indy brand, a huge value.
Traditional loyalty programs are too complex for boutique hotels. The Guestbook stands out with an instant cash-back reward system, allowing RevOptimum to boost conversions without diluting public rate integrity.

Based on your experience with this product or service, if you could give one piece of advice to a hotelier considering this product or service, what would it be?

Make sure the program is actively promoted across your website, booking process, email marketing, and front desk. The technology alone will not drive results; consistent execution, staff engagement, and a clear direct-booking strategy are essential to building loyalty and reducing OTA dependence.
Loyalty programs are one of the best ways to increase the value of guests. The Guest Book pairs that value multiplier with direct booking tools that will decrease your OTA fees, while capturing/nurturing the right type of data you need to know your guests. It's such an easy implementation, and can be a great new revenue driver for any commercial strategy.
Guestbook is well designed for independent hotels! While major hotel brands already have their own loyalty programs, independent properties often lack a way to build lasting relationships with repeat guests. This kind of program gives independent hotels a valuable opportunity to reward loyalty, encourage repeat stays, and create a more personalized guest experience.
Avoid points that travelers rarely redeem. Based on RevOptimum's experience, a cash-back structure with dynamic pricing will maximize your direct booking share, lower acquisition costs, and protect your bottom line.
