Shrink OTA commission drag
Third-party marketplaces routinely take a double-digit cut on every night sold. When guests book with you directly, that margin stays on your books—not theirs.
Direct bookings·Branded website·Admin platform
Your hotel brand online—and the engine that runs behind it
Renivas pairs a guest-ready property website with a modern admin workspace. Win more direct bookings, keep more margin than typical OTA-only distribution, and give your team one place to operate with confidence.
Why owners lead with Renivas
- Branded guest site for discovery and direct bookings—keep more of every rupee you earn
- Front-desk admin for availability, assignments, check-in, and cancellations in one place
- Room categories, rates, and documents wired through a secure, role-based API
OTAs remain useful for reach—but direct channels are where you keep pricing power and margin. Renivas is built to grow that slice of your mix.
Why switch the mix
Less commission leakage. More control.
Every booking that starts on your own site is one where you set the rules: cancellation policy, upsells, and guest relationship. The admin side makes sure your team can honour that promise without heroic effort.
Grow direct revenue
A clear booking path on your own site turns lookers into guests without bouncing through another brand. You control pricing, packages, and the narrative end to end.
Own your brand story
Beyond rates and dates: showcase amenities, maps, and trust signals the way you want—then hand off to the same operational backbone your team already uses.
Transparent economics
OTA commission stacks every year. Renivas stays flat.
Marketplaces commonly charge a percentage of each booking—so the fee grows with your rates and volume. Renivas is priced as a small flat fee per confirmed booking on the founder offer, so owners can reason about costs without a spreadsheet surprise.
Typical OTA model
Percentage per booking
Commissions apply again and again—high season means high fees. Promotions and net rates can move the needle; the pattern is the same: margin walks out the door with every OTA night.
- Fee scales up when ADR and occupancy rise
- Harder to forecast “true” cost of distribution
- Annual leakage is easy to underestimate on paper
Renivas founder offer
Flat ₹10 / booking
A simple line item for operations software—not a tax on every rupee of room revenue. Pair this with a stronger direct channel and your team keeps more of what they earn on nights you sell yourself.
- Same fee per booking at low or high ADR (founder terms)
- Easier annual planning for software—not a surprise “OTA bill”
- Built to sit next to OTAs while you grow direct mix
Illustrative annual scenario
Adjust the sliders to mirror a rough OTA volume and an illustrative average commission per OTA booking. This is not a quote—real OTA economics depend on contracts, promos, and mix.

₹800
Think of this as a rough “effective commission per OTA night” after blended rates—not your exact invoice line.
Scenario totals (illustrative)
- OTA commissions (example)
- ₹6,40,000
- Renivas @ ₹10 / booking
- ₹8,000
- Illustrative difference (fees only)
- ₹6,32,000
Bar shows the share of the two illustrative numbers above—not “savings” you are promised. Direct growth, ADR, taxes, and channel mix change real outcomes.
The point is directionally obvious: percentage fees compound with success. A flat software fee stays legible—especially when you are intentionally growing direct.

Frequently asked questions
Straight answers on direct bookings, the guest site, and how Renivas fits next to your existing stack.
Does Renivas replace OTAs?
No—and you would not want to lose their reach overnight. Renivas helps you grow direct bookings and run operations in one place, while you keep OTAs for discovery where they still pay off. The goal is a healthier channel mix and more margin on nights you sell yourself.
What is the “guest website” exactly?
A public, mobile-friendly site for your property: your story, amenities, maps, and a booking path so guests can check dates and reserve without leaving your brand. It complements your admin workspace, where staff fulfil those bookings.
Is the admin dashboard included?
Yes. Bookings, room inventory, categories and rates, guest details, documents, payment status, and invoice PDFs are designed to live in the same operational hub—so the front desk is not juggling five tabs.
How do payments work?
You can track balances and payment status in admin and generate invoice PDFs for guests. Exact payment rails (cards, UPI, bank transfer) depend on how your property is configured—your onboarding conversation covers the best fit.
How long does it take to go live?
Small properties can often launch a first version quickly once rooms, rates, and branding assets are ready. Larger portfolios may phase by property or region. The walkthrough is the right place to map a realistic timeline.
Is our guest and booking data secure?
The product is built around role-based access and API-driven workflows so staff only see what they need. For specifics on retention, subprocessors, and compliance, see our Terms & Policy page or ask during onboarding.
Can we run more than one hotel?
The platform is built around a per-property guest site and tenant-scoped admin. If you operate multiple brands or locations, talk to us about how client codes and rollout should be structured for your group.
Legal and data-processing details are in Terms & Policy.
