9 Best Website Builders for Hotels of 2026

By the TopToolAdvisor research desk · Updated November 11, 2026 · Next review December 26, 2026 · 9 products scored

Our pickLittle Hoteliersmall hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses8.9

Our pick in brief

Little Hotelier ranks first because a small property gets the booking engine, channel manager and calendar on one plan from $39 USD a month, and the website is built on the same system, so room rates and availability never need to be copied by hand. Lodgify is the best fit for B&Bs and guesthouses with a handful of rooms that also list on Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. SiteMinder Plus and Cloudbeds are the stronger choices for busier hotels that want metasearch, upsells and a team that helps design the site. ThinkReservations is built for inns and boutique hotels that want a site and booking engine designed for them. Wix is the best general builder because Wix Hotels by HotelRunner adds rooms, rates and a channel manager inside the site, while WordPress.com, Squarespace and Webflow need a booking engine embedded from another vendor.

Quick answer

Little Hotelier is the best website builder for small hotels and B&Bs in 2026, because its Basics plan from $39 USD a month bundles a commission-free booking engine (20+ languages, 75 currencies) with a channel manager, and its Website Builder add-on connects to that engine out of the box. Lodgify suits B&Bs and guesthouses that run like rentals, with its website builder on the Starter plan, while SiteMinder Plus from $179 USD a month fits larger independent hotels that want metasearch and 20+ site languages. The cheapest route is WordPress.com from $4 a month billed yearly plus a booking plugin, with prices checked as of November 2026.

This list is for hotels, inns, motels and B&Bs that want guests to book rooms directly on their own website instead of paying commission to online travel agencies. We compared documented features and published prices for nine options in two groups: hotel platforms that build the website around their own booking engine (Little Hotelier, Lodgify, SiteMinder, Cloudbeds and ThinkReservations), and general website builders where you add a hotel booking app or embed a booking engine (Wix, WordPress.com, Squarespace and Webflow). Scores cover features, ease of use and value, and the overall score is a weighted average using our site weights. Prices come from each vendor's own page in US dollars on the date shown; where a page showed us another currency or asked us to request a quote, the price is marked pending.

    All-in-one software for small hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses, powered by SiteMinder, with a booking engine, channel manager and an optional hotel website builder.

    Price

    Basics from $39 USD per month; Pro from $179 USD per month plus a 1% booking fee; Website Builder is an add-on

    Quoted from the Little Hotelier pricing page on November 11, 2026: From $39 USD / month*

    Little Hotelier is built for the properties this list is about: small hotels, B&Bs, guesthouses and motels that want guests to book on their own website. The booking engine is the center of the product. It takes commission-free bookings, supports more than 20 languages and 75 currencies, and can be styled to match your property. The Website Builder sits on top of it as an add-on. You pick a customizable template, add your logo, colors, fonts and room photos, and connect a custom domain, or start with a simple direct booking webpage and upgrade later. Rates, availability and payments come from the same system as the channel manager and calendar, so a room sold on Booking.com is not offered again on your site. Little Hotelier also offers to design and publish the site for you. The catch is cost clarity: Basics starts at $39 USD a month, but the Website Builder add-on price is not published, so ask for the full monthly total before you sign up.

    Strengths

    • +Basics starts at $39 USD a month, the lowest verified USD price among the hotel platforms here
    • +Content, pricing, payments and bookings are managed in one system with one login
    • +Little Hotelier says it can help design and publish your website for you

    Drawbacks

    • −The Website Builder is sold as an add-on, and its price is not shown on the pricing page
    • −No permanent free plan

    Lodgify

    Short-term rental software whose Starter plan adds a no-code website builder and commission-free booking engine to a channel manager.

    Price

    See vendor pricing (USD check pending); website builder starts on the Starter plan

    We could not confirm a US price yet. Check the Lodgify pricing page.

    Lodgify comes from vacation rentals, and that shapes who it suits on a hotel list: B&Bs, guesthouses and small inns with a few rooms that also sell on Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com. From the Starter plan up, you get a no-code website builder with templates, unlimited custom pages, guest reviews, a free domain on yearly plans and a site available in 32 languages. The booking engine lets guests book and pay on your site, and rates and availability sync with the connected booking sites through Lodgify's channel manager, which removes most double-booking risk. Lodgify charges a 0% booking fee on every plan. If you already have a website you like, the external booking widget adds a booking form to it. The trade-off is that Lodgify thinks in properties and rentals, not in rate plans and room types the way hotel systems do, so a 30-room hotel will find SiteMinder or Cloudbeds a better fit. The pricing page showed us euros, so check the USD price on the vendor's page.

    Strengths

    • +Guests book and pay on your own site, with pricing and availability synced to Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com
    • +The external booking widget also works on a site built with Wix, Squarespace or WordPress
    • +7-day free trial with no credit card required

    Drawbacks

    • −Built around short-term rentals, so it fits B&Bs and small inns better than hotels with many room types
    • −The Basic plan does not include the website builder or booking engine
    • −The pricing page showed us euros, so the USD price is pending

    Cloudbeds

    Price

    See vendor pricing (USD check pending); quote-based plans with Websites as an add-on

    We could not confirm a US price yet. Check the Cloudbeds pricing page.

    Cloudbeds Websites is the most hands-off option on this list. Instead of a blank editor, Cloudbeds' hospitality designers recommend templates, colors and fonts for your property and build the site with you. The Cloudbeds Booking Engine is integrated, so the site shows real-time room availability and prices and takes bookings 24/7, while the PMS and OTA channels stay in sync in the background. Every site comes with an SSL certificate, built-in consent management through Termly and multilingual support, and AudioEye accessibility is available in select regions. The AI-powered CMS can write or rewrite page copy and generate SEO metadata and image alt text, which helps owners who do not write marketing copy. The downside is price visibility. Cloudbeds publishes no prices, Websites is an add-on to the core plan, and you go through a demo to get a quote. That suits a hotel or hostel ready to move its whole operation to Cloudbeds more than an owner who only wants a new website.

    Strengths

    • +Website, booking engine, PMS and OTA channels stay in sync on one platform
    • +Designers suggest templates, colors and fonts, so you do not need design skills
    • +Built-in cookie consent handling for GDPR through Termly

    Drawbacks

    • −No public prices; you request a demo and a quote
    • −Websites is sold as an add-on to the core plan

    Price

    SiteMinder Plus, which includes the hotel website builder, from $179 USD per month; the base SiteMinder plan from $135 USD per month does not include it

    Quoted from the SiteMinder pricing page on November 11, 2026: From $179 USD / month

    SiteMinder is a distribution platform first, and its Website Builder is built to turn that distribution into direct bookings. On SiteMinder Plus, you pick a template, add rooms, images and policies with on-page editing, connect SiteMinder's Booking Engine (or another engine) and publish. Themes are mobile-optimized, the site supports 20+ languages and includes SEO tools, and you can list on Google Hotel Ads, Trivago and Tripadvisor straight from the site. The Hotel App Store adds 100+ apps for upsells, guest messaging, loyalty and reviews, and a Tripadvisor widget can prompt post-stay reviews. Support runs 24/7 by chat in nine languages, plus phone and email. The cost is the main hurdle. The website builder is on SiteMinder Plus from $179 USD a month, while the base plan at $135 does not include it, and you start by talking to sales. For an independent hotel already selling on many channels, that buys a lot of tooling. A five-room B&B will pay for features it does not use.

    Strengths

    • +Website, booking engine, channel manager and metasearch sit in one plan
    • +24/7 chat in nine languages plus phone and email support on every plan
    • +Onboarding can get you live in as little as 24 hours, according to SiteMinder

    Drawbacks

    • −The website builder needs SiteMinder Plus from $179 USD a month, not the $135 base plan
    • −Plans are sold through a sales conversation rather than instant signup
    • −More than a small B&B needs if it only sells on one or two channels

    Wix

    Price

    Free plan; Core, the first plan that accepts payments, is $29 per month; Light is $17 per month

    Quoted from the Wix pricing page on November 11, 2026: Core Engage your audience 29$ per month.

    Wix is the strongest general builder for hotels because it has a real hotel booking app, Wix Hotels by HotelRunner, rather than relying on an embed. Adding it creates a Book a Room page you can style in the editor, and you set up room types, capacity, base prices and rate plans in the dashboard. The Inventory Calendar handles prices and availability, with bulk updates by rate plan or channel, and a channel manager connects the site to Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia and more at no extra fee once the site is upgraded. Promotion codes are available, though they apply to the whole site. You keep Wix's full editor for everything else: galleries, a restaurant page, a blog or event pages. The limits matter, though. Bookings need a premium plan that accepts payments, which on today's plan list starts with Core at $29 a month, and the hotel app cannot be managed from the Wix mobile app. For a small hotel that values design control, it is a solid all-in-one route.

    Strengths

    • +Full Wix design freedom for the rest of the site, from galleries to a blog
    • +No additional fee for the channel manager on an upgraded site
    • +Core at $29 a month includes payments, and a free plan lets you build before paying

    Drawbacks

    • −You must upgrade to a premium plan that accepts payments before taking bookings
    • −Wix Hotels by HotelRunner cannot be managed from the Wix mobile app
    • −Promotion codes apply site-wide, not to one room type or rate plan

    ThinkReservations

    Property management platform for inns, B&Bs and boutique hotels whose ThinkWeb websites integrate the booking engine into every page.

    Price

    See vendor pricing (USD check pending); pricing on request

    We could not confirm a US price yet. Check the ThinkReservations pricing page.

    ThinkReservations is a property management system aimed at B&Bs, inns, boutique hotels and hotel groups, and its ThinkWeb product is the website layer. Rather than linking out to a separate booking page, ThinkWeb integrates the booking engine into the site so guests stay in the booking process while they browse rooms, and checkout uses fewer steps. Guests can log in, be recognized and manage their reservations online, and member rates offer logged-in guests lower prices than other channels, which gives them a reason to book direct. Sites are mobile first, include image galleries for room photography and connect to Google Analytics for conversion tracking. Setup is handled by the ThinkReservations team, including data import and training, and support runs 24/7 by phone. The trade-offs are that pricing is only available on request, and ThinkWeb works as part of the full ThinkReservations platform, so it makes most sense for an inn ready to switch its PMS too.

    Strengths

    • +Website, PMS, channel manager and payments come from one vendor
    • +24/7 phone support staffed by hospitality professionals
    • +Data import and staff training are handled for you during setup

    Drawbacks

    • −No public prices; you request pricing
    • −Not a do-it-yourself builder; the team designs the site
    • −Less suited to properties that only want a website without changing their PMS

    Price

    Free plan; Personal $4 per month billed yearly or $9 monthly; Business $25 per month billed yearly

    Quoted from the WordPress.com pricing page on November 11, 2026: Build your presence with a site you can customize. US$ 9 US$ 4

    WordPress.com is the low-cost, do-it-yourself route. WordPress.com's support pages say plugin installs are available on all paid plans, from Personal at $4 a month billed yearly up to Commerce, and the marketplace lists over 60,000 plugins. That means you can add a hotel booking plugin or paste in the booking engine from a hotel vendor such as Little Hotelier or Lodgify, both of which document connecting their engines to an existing website. Every plan has unlimited pages, which helps a hotel publish separate pages for each room type, local guides and a blog that can rank in search. The catch is that WordPress.com does not include a booking engine itself. You pick one, configure rates and availability inside it and pay its fees, and you keep it updated. For an owner comfortable with WordPress, it is the cheapest way to get a flexible hotel site; for anyone else, a hotel platform's built-in website is less work.

    Strengths

    • +Personal at $4 a month billed yearly is the lowest verified price on this list
    • +Any hotel booking plugin or booking engine embed can be added
    • +You own the content and can move a WordPress site to another host

    Drawbacks

    • −No booking engine of its own; you choose and set up a plugin or vendor engine
    • −The booking plugin or engine usually adds its own cost
    • −More setup and upkeep than a hotel platform's website

    Price

    See vendor pricing (USD check pending); booking engine embeds need the Core plan or higher

    We could not confirm a US price yet. Check the Squarespace pricing page.

    Squarespace has some of the most polished templates on this list, which matters for B&Bs and boutique properties that sell on photography and atmosphere. It does not have a room booking system of its own, so the booking part comes from a hotel vendor. Squarespace's help center says code blocks are the way to embed third-party widgets, and that adding JavaScript or an iframe requires the Core, Plus or Advanced plan. That is how you place a booking engine from Little Hotelier, Lodgify or another provider on your pages. Annual plans include one year of free domain registration, and the built-in blog is handy for local guides. The result can look excellent, but you manage two systems: Squarespace for content and your booking vendor for rates, availability and payments, and the embedded widget may not match your design perfectly. The pricing page showed us zloty rather than dollars, so check the USD price for Core on Squarespace's site.

    Strengths

    • +Polished templates suit properties that sell on photography
    • +Works with booking widgets such as Lodgify's external booking widget
    • +Hosting, SSL and domain handled in one subscription

    Drawbacks

    • −No native hotel or room booking feature; booking comes from another vendor
    • −Embedding a booking engine needs the Core plan or higher, not Basic

    Price

    Free Starter plan; Basic $15 per month billed yearly; Premium $25 per month billed yearly

    Quoted from the Webflow pricing page on November 11, 2026: Basic For simple sites that don't need a CMS. $ 15 /mo billed yearly

    Webflow is a visual development platform, so it suits hotels that hire a designer or have one on staff and want a site that does not look like a template. The Basic plan at $15 a month billed yearly covers a custom domain, 300 static pages, 10 GB bandwidth and unlimited form submissions, which is enough for room pages and an enquiry form for weddings or group stays. Premium, from $25 a month billed yearly, adds the Webflow CMS for managing many room types, offers or blog posts. Webflow has no hotel booking engine, so the booking step comes from a vendor such as Little Hotelier, SiteMinder or Lodgify, whose engines are documented to work with an existing website. That separation keeps design freedom high but adds a second system to run. For a hotel owner building the site alone, the learning curve is steep, and Wix or a hotel platform will get a bookable site live faster.

    Strengths

    • +Pixel-level design control for a one-of-a-kind hotel brand
    • +Basic at $15 a month billed yearly is low for a custom-designed site
    • +Unlimited form submissions on Basic handle event and group enquiries

    Drawbacks

    • −No hotel booking engine; rates and availability live in another vendor's system

What to check before you buy

Start from the booking engine, not the template

A hotel website earns its keep when guests can see live rates and book a room in a few taps. Hotel platforms such as Little Hotelier, SiteMinder, Cloudbeds and ThinkReservations build the website around their own booking engine, so availability is always current. General builders need a hotel app (Wix Hotels by HotelRunner) or an embedded engine from a booking vendor.

Check the channel manager link

Most small hotels still sell rooms on Booking.com, Expedia and Airbnb. If your website booking engine and your channel manager share one inventory, a room booked direct disappears from every channel at once. Little Hotelier, SiteMinder, Cloudbeds, Lodgify and Wix Hotels by HotelRunner all document a channel connection.

Count languages and currencies

International guests book more when they can read the site and pay in their own currency. Little Hotelier's booking engine lists over 20 languages and 75 currencies, Lodgify's website is available in 32 languages on Starter and up, and SiteMinder's Website Builder lists support for 20+ languages.

Price the full stack for a year

A cheap website plan is only part of the cost. Little Hotelier starts at $39 USD a month and lists the Website Builder as an add-on, SiteMinder puts its website builder on SiteMinder Plus from $179 USD a month, and Cloudbeds, ThinkReservations and Lodgify (in USD) need a quote or a currency check. On WordPress.com or Squarespace, add the cost of the booking engine you embed.

Decide who builds the site

Cloudbeds says its designers recommend templates, colors and fonts for you, and Little Hotelier offers to help design and publish your site. Wix, WordPress.com, Squarespace and Webflow give you full control, but you set up the pages, room photos and booking flow yourself.

Common questions

What is the best website builder for hotels?
Little Hotelier is the best website builder for small hotels and B&Bs, because its plans start at $39 USD a month with a commission-free booking engine and channel manager that its hotel website builder connects to. SiteMinder Plus, from $179 USD a month, is the stronger pick for larger independent hotels.
Can I add a hotel booking engine to a Wix website?
Yes. Wix Hotels by HotelRunner adds a Book a Room page, room types, an inventory calendar and a channel manager to a Wix site. Wix's help center says you must upgrade to a premium plan that accepts payments before taking bookings, and Core at $29 a month is the first current plan with payments.
Does Squarespace have a hotel booking system?
No, Squarespace has no built-in room booking, so hotels embed a booking engine from another vendor. Squarespace's help center says JavaScript and iframe embeds in code blocks need the Core, Plus or Advanced plan.
What is the cheapest way to build a hotel website with direct booking?
WordPress.com is the cheapest, from $4 a month billed yearly on the Personal plan, which allows plugin installs, plus the cost of a booking plugin or engine. The cheapest all-in-one hotel option with a published USD price is Little Hotelier at $39 USD a month.
Which hotel website builder is best for a small B&B?
Little Hotelier and Lodgify suit small B&Bs best. Little Hotelier offers a simple direct booking webpage and a full website builder, while Lodgify's Starter plan includes a booking website in 32 languages with a 0% booking fee.
Do hotel website builders charge commission on direct bookings?
Most do not. Little Hotelier, SiteMinder and Lodgify all describe their direct bookings as commission free, and Lodgify lists a 0% booking fee on every plan, though Little Hotelier's Pro plan adds a 1% booking fee.
Can I keep my current website and add hotel booking?
Yes. Lodgify sells an external booking widget that adds a booking form to any website, and Little Hotelier says its booking engine connects to your existing website.
