Company mission
To supercharge direct bookings, increase conversions, and eliminate chargeback disputes for hotels, by offering the most intuitive payment experience for guests.
Our take
Slick, minimal-click payments have become the norm in most industries. But the hospitality industry, especially independent properties, are lagging behind and losing out to online travel agents and large aggregators. Selfbook is changing that by providing payments software that enables more seamless booking flow, merchandising and one-click payments for hotels.
Originally, Selfbook focused solely on boutique or independent hotels, or small groups that would represent anywhere from 5-25 properties. But its success enabled it to broaden this scope and serve larger chains through partnerships with more established fintech providers.
The difficulty for Selfbook will be upgrading an industry that still relies on analogue systems, which are difficult to integrate into modern solutions. Overcoming this hurdle will guarantee the long-term value of Selfbook as a company, while strong funding gives it room to build into the future.
