OTAs take your
20–25%. Keep every rupee.
We take less and spend
half of it on your marketing.

The guest who reviewed your hotel gets paid for every booking they drive.

OTAs charge 20–25% and pocket all of it. Hookoom charges under 16%, then spends 50% of what we earn paying the verified guest whose review drove that booking. Your guests become your marketing team. They earn via account transfer. You pay half the commission. The loop runs forever.

Har Hotelier Ka Dard: The OTA Problem

Every hotel owner in India knows this pain. Most just accept it.

OTAs built empires on your hospitality. Then they charged you for it.

30%
Commission Taken by OTAs, Every Booking
MakeMyTrip, Booking.com charge 20–30% per booking. That’s nearly a third of your revenue, gone before you see it. Every month. No end.
₹50K+
Annual Photography Cost, For Photos That Lie
Wide-angle lenses. Professional lighting. Retouching. You invest in an illusion. Guests arrive to reality. The gap creates 1-star reviews that kill future bookings.
68%
Travellers Read Reviews. But You Don’t Control Them.
Staged photos set expectations you can’t meet. Disappointed guests write bad reviews. Bad reviews kill bookings. The loop continues, until Hookoom.

“Aapne khana pakaya. OTA ne bech diya. Commission unka. Review aapka.”

“The hotel paid the photographer. The OTA took the commission. The guest arrived to a gap. The hotel got the 1-star review. This is the loop Hookoom breaks.”

Ek Zaruri Sawal: One Critical Question

Hotel owners always ask us this.
Here’s the honest answer.

“Kya Hookoom meri kharab photos bhi dikhayega?”

We hear this from every hotel owner. And the answer matters more than anything else on this page: Real content is not negative content. Authentic photos show your property honestly, not unfairly.

“Hookoom Verified properties receive ONLY authentic, guest-curated content. Not curated to harm, curated to inspire. Real content sets accurate expectations. Accurate expectations create satisfied guests. Satisfied guests leave 5-star reviews.”
Real content sets accurate expectations
Guests know what they get. They arrive satisfied. Satisfied guests leave 5-star reviews. Better reviews drive better bookings. The loop works for you.
Reviewers chose you. They want you to succeed.
Only verified guests who stayed can post. They booked with you. They earn when you earn. Their incentive is your growth, not decline.
You control your onboarding photos completely
Your first photos are the ones you upload, shot on your mobile, showing your best spaces honestly. Guest reels build on this foundation.
Staged photos are the real risk, not honest ones
Staged photos collapse at check-in. Honest photos build a reputation that compounds: returning guests, referrals, reels that work forever.
The Critical Distinction

Listed on Hookoom ≠ Hookoom Verified. Not even close.

Two ways to appear on Hookoom. Only one unlocks the full advantage.

No analytics or booking dashboard
Shown generic, among thousands
OTA commission rates (20–30%) still apply
No reviewer economy participation

Real vs Staged

Staged photos set expectations you can’t meet. Honest photos build the trust that brings guests back.

The expectation gap is the #1 driver of 1-star hotel reviews in India. Hookoom eliminates it by design.

Is the 16% commission truly all-in, with no hidden charges?
Yes. 16% is the ceiling and it includes everything: the reviewer payout (7%), Hookoom platform fee (8%), and payment gateway. No monthly subscription, no listing fee, no photography cost. You pay only when a guest books.
Can I stay listed on MakeMyTrip or Booking.com while using Hookoom?
Completely. Hookoom is additive, not exclusive. Most early hotels run OTAs alongside Hookoom and use the comparison to see exactly how much each channel earns versus costs. Many shift more inventory to Hookoom after 30 days.
What if a verified reviewer posts an honest but unflattering review?
Hotels with staged photos get 1-star shocks at check-in. Hotels with real photos get guests whose expectations match reality. Those guests are almost always satisfied, and satisfied guests leave fair reviews. Real content is not negative content.
