Where it hurts now
Many bookings come through booking platforms, with commission. And before arrival, guests all email the same questions: where do I park, what time can I check in, how does the key work?
What we would build
A site that shows why booking direct is pleasant, with a booking button to your own booking system. Two days before arrival the guest automatically gets all the practical information, and a chat answers the rest in Dutch and English.
