About Hestia
Hestia is a modern booking engine that turns your website traffic into direct reservations, running live against your apaleo environment.
Guests browse rooms, compare offers, and pay in one clear, fast flow on your hotel's own booking page. Rates and availability are always pulled live from apaleo, never a stale cache, so what guests see is always real.
Payment is built in with apaleo Pay: guests check out securely inside the flow, with no third-party redirect and no separate payment tool to manage. Confirmed bookings land straight in your back office, where your team reviews them and pushes them to apaleo in a single action, with no double entry.
Hestia is built for independent hotels that want a direct channel they fully own. It is focused: one thing, your booking flow, done well, not a sprawling all-in-one suite. And it is actively developed with founder-led support, so you are working with the people building it.
- Increase direct bookings
- Convert the website traffic you already have into commission-free direct reservations, reducing your dependence on OTAs.
- Keep selling when you are sold out
- When an offer is out of sale, show it on request instead of hiding it. Guests send a quote you honor by planning an upgrade, so one room going off-sale no longer costs you the booking.
- A focused partner, not a bulky suite
- Hestia does one thing well, your direct booking channel, and is actively developed with founder-led support. You work directly with the people building it.
Integration features
Live, two-way apaleo connection
Rooms, rates, offers, restrictions, and bookings stay in sync with apaleo automatically, your setup drives the booking flow with nothing to remap. This is table-stakes for a Store app (five competitors still spell it out), so we mention it once and do not lead on it.
Payment built in with apaleo Pay
Guests pay securely inside the booking flow through apaleo Pay. No third-party redirect, no separate payment tool, no reconciliation headache.
On-request offers
Show offers that are closed or sold out for direct booking as "on request", so the guest cannot book them directly but can still send a quote instead of hitting a dead end.
