HotelsDrop is the platform revolutionizing how you book a stay through its innovative Reverse Booking system.

With HotelsDrop, you no longer search for the ideal property: hospitality businesses search for you, sending personalized offers based on your budget, needs, and desired services.

You only need to create one request with your destination, stay dates, budget, and requirements.

Your request is automatically forwarded to every compatible property in the selected destination, so they can send you their best proposals.

You can compare prices, services, and terms, communicate directly with properties, and choose the offer best suited to your trip.

For travelers, HotelsDrop is completely free with no commissions. Properties participate through a simple monthly subscription fee, with no booking commissions.

The platform is ideal for both individual trips and group requests such as schools, companies, events, sports groups, associations, organized tours, travel agencies, and tour operators.

You can also find Last Minute offers and proposals published directly by hospitality businesses, travel agencies, and tour operators on HotelsDrop.

Our goal

To simplify how trips are organized by connecting travelers and hospitality businesses directly through a simpler, more transparent, and more convenient model for everyone.

With HotelsDrop, you are not the one searching for the best deal: properties search for you and present their best offers.

Frequently asked questions

For travellers

What is HotelsDrop and how does it help me find a property?

HotelsDrop is a reverse booking platform. Instead of searching hotel by hotel, you publish one stay request with destination, dates, budget and preferences. Every compatible property in the selected area receives it and can reply with a direct, personalised offer. You compare proposals and choose the best one for you — free of charge.

Can I find a property and contact it directly?

Yes. You can browse the catalogue, open a property profile and contact it directly by email, phone or WhatsApp. You can also start a tailored negotiation by sending a stay request linked to that property or to the whole destination.

How does a stay request reach hotels in my chosen area?

When you publish a request, HotelsDrop automatically forwards it to all active properties in the selected destination that match your dates, budget, room count and preferences. You do not need to write to each hotel separately: one request, many replies.

Is HotelsDrop free for travellers?

Yes. Publishing requests, comparing offers and contacting properties is completely free for travellers. There are no booking commissions on the traveller side. Properties participate through a simple monthly subscription.

What is reverse booking?

Reverse booking reverses the traditional flow: you do not hunt for the best rate across dozens of sites. You state what you need, and hotels compete to offer you the best direct proposal. Less time searching, more tailored deals.

How do I create a stay request?

Click “Drop your request”, choose destination, check-in and check-out dates, budget, number of rooms and guests, then add any preferences (meal plan, area, special needs). One click sends the request to every compatible property in the selected area.

How long does it take to receive offers?

Properties reply based on their availability; you often receive the first offers within 24 hours.

Can I chat with a hotel before choosing?

Yes. When a property sends you an offer, you can compare proposals and communicate directly to clarify details, services and conditions before deciding.

What if no hotel replies?

You can adjust your budget or dates and republish the request, or browse the catalogue and contact properties directly from their profile page.

How is HotelsDrop different from Booking or Expedia?

On OTAs you search and book anonymously. On HotelsDrop you publish one request and hotels send you direct, personalised offers — with no booking commission for travellers and real contact with the property.

For groups and travel agencies

Can I use HotelsDrop for schools, groups, events or organised trips?

Yes. HotelsDrop is built for individual travellers and group requests alike: schools, companies, sports teams, associations, weddings, conferences and organised tours. You publish one detailed request and receive comparable offers from multiple properties.

How does HotelsDrop help travel agencies?

Agencies often waste hours emailing hotels one by one. With HotelsDrop, a single click sends your request to every compatible property in the destination. You receive structured offers, compare them side by side and pick the best deal for your client — without a flood of manual emails.

Do I still need to contact each hotel separately?

No. That is the core advantage. One request reaches all matching hotels in the selected area. Each property replies with its own proposal. You save time, reduce errors and keep every negotiation in one place.

How does a group request work (school, company, event)?

You publish one request with the number of rooms, guests and specific requirements (meals, accessibility, parking, etc.). Every compatible property in the destination receives it and replies with a tailored group offer.

Can a travel agency manage multiple client requests?

Yes. From your dashboard you can publish and track several stay requests for different clients, compare incoming offers and choose the best proposal for each trip.

Can I specify special requirements in the request?

Yes. You can indicate meal plan, preferred area, accessibility, pool, parking and other filters so only suitable properties receive your request and reply with compatible offers.

For properties

What are the benefits for hotels and B&Bs?

You receive qualified stay requests instead of paying high OTA commissions on every booking. You reply with direct offers, fill empty dates, and keep the full value of the reservation. No commission on the booking itself — just a flat monthly subscription.

Why are OTA visitors 'ghosts' for properties?

On traditional OTAs, travellers often browse anonymously and disappear after comparing prices. The property never builds a real relationship. On HotelsDrop every request comes with genuine intent: the traveller or agency wants a proposal, opens a dialogue and lets you showcase your offer and working style.

Can I gain new agency contacts even if I do not close immediately?

Exactly. Every request — from a traveller or an agency — is a real contact, not anonymous traffic. Even if the deal is not closed today, you have met a new partner, shown your proposal and started a relationship that can become a future collaboration.

How does the subscription work for properties?

Properties join HotelsDrop with a simple monthly subscription. They receive relevant requests for their destination, reply with direct offers and negotiate without OTA commissions on bookings. Ideal for filling last-minute dates and building a direct client base.

Do I have to reply to every request?

No. You only reply to requests that match your property, availability and commercial strategy. Requests outside your target can simply be ignored.

Can I publish last-minute offers?

Yes. Active properties can publish last-minute promotions on HotelsDrop to fill empty dates and reach travellers looking for immediate deals.

Do I only receive requests for my city?

Yes. Requests are forwarded based on the destination and criteria set by the traveller or agency, so you receive only relevant opportunities for your area.

Can I see who sent the request before replying?

Yes. Each request shows whether it comes from a traveller or an agency, so you know who you are dealing with and can start a direct, transparent dialogue.

Does contact remain even if the booking is not closed today?

Yes. Unlike anonymous OTA traffic, every HotelsDrop request creates a real relationship. Even without an immediate booking, you have met a traveller or agency you can work with in the future.
