Stone Court House, owned by Dr Belinda Demirbasa and her family, is a luxury boutique hotel known for its home-like ambiance and exceptional guest experience. The outstanding residence offers a truly one-of-a-kind experience, combining luxury with a fascinating journey through centuries of heritage in the UK town of Maidstone. Stone Court House takes pride in meeting new guests and ensuring their stay is unforgettable. The hotel’s attention to cleanliness and comfort has earned it excellent reviews on Booking.com, TripAdvisor, Google, and Expedia.

Why it matters: Prior to adopting Little Hotelier, the accommodation struggled with a previous provider that was challenging to use. It had numerous unsuitable features for small establishments, incurred high costs, and had a support team difficult to access due to its international location.

However, Stone Court House found a straightforward solution in Little Hotelier, which offered a user-friendly platform equipped with easy-to-understand and implement tools, along with a local presence for better support.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Saban, the manager, stated: “We were seeking a user-friendly solution with a local presence, so in case of any issues, we could directly communicate with the team. Little Hotelier had precisely what we needed. Moreover, it allows me to maintain control and have a clear overview of all bookings through the channel manager, regardless of their source.”

Seamless connectivity with OTAs: Connecting to new OTAs with just a few simple steps.
Managing on-the-go: Checking guests in and out, modifying reservations, and accepting online payments, all from anywhere, anytime.
Strong support presence: With support through phone, web and chat inlcuding in multiple languages.

"Little Hotelier is very easy to use and simple to understand and implement. It is also very robust, I don’t think it has crashed once since we began using the platform over a year ago. It gives you confidence that guest relations will run smoothly and there will be no double bookings or lost messages. Little Hotelier makes life running a small boutique hotel comfortable."
