Kwipps for hotels

Every room, every night,
in one calm place.

A website that takes bookings, and one simple console to run the house: today's arrivals, the stay calendar, rooms, prices and the bill — built for you before you pay a franc.

The tools

Five parts, one console

01 / Website

Your hotel's own website, on your own address.

  • Rooms, photos and how to find youEvery room type with what it sleeps and its photos, the house, the town, the way there.
  • Change it by askingWrite what you want in plain words — new photos, a page for the spa, a winter offer — and see it before you publish.
  • Your address and your emailYour own .ch or .com address, with email addresses on it: 1 on Website, 3 on Business, 10 on Pro.
  • Nothing loaded from other companiesFonts and photos come from your own address, and visitors are counted only after they say yes.

02 / Booking tool

Guests choose their dates on your site and ask for a room.

  • Where visitors lookA date bar under the first picture and a booking link in the menu, as soon as you switch the tool on.
  • A calendar with the price per nightFree nights with the lowest price, full nights struck through, and only the departures that work.
  • Confirm at once when a room is free, or read each request first — your choiceA request holds the room until you answer, with one tap from the email.
  • Deposits by card or TWINT (Business, Pro)Taken when the guest books, once a plan is chosen. A preview never takes real money.
  • Rooms, rates and extrasRate plans — flexible, non-refundable, with breakfast — a price calendar you change several days at once, and extras priced per stay, night or person.
  • The guest's own page, in six languagesFrom a link in their email the guest reads the stay, cancels while it is free and checks in online — in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish or Portuguese.
The Policies screen: the switch that puts the booking tool on the website, confirm at once, the deposit and the tourist tax by age.
A real screen of the console, with invented guests. The console speaks English for now.

03 / Front desk

Run the house from Today, on a phone at the desk.

  • Today at a glanceArrivals, departures, who is in the house, requests waiting and rooms to clean.
  • The stay calendarRoom by room, a fortnight at a glance. Move a stay, take a walk-in or a phone booking.
  • Online check-in fills the MeldescheinThe guest fills the registration form before arriving, from the arrival email. You check it and print it at the desk.
  • HousekeepingClean, to clean, inspected, out of order.
  • The shared guest bookEvery guest from their stays, with their visits and your notes.
  • A login for each person3 logins on Business, no limit on Pro.
A stay in the console: the dates, the guest and the registration form filled online by the guest.

04 / Money

The bill, the invoice and the QR-bill, in Swiss francs.

  • The bill per stayNights, extras, tourist tax, deposits and payments, with the balance due.
  • Swiss VAT, shown correctlyPrices include VAT; the invoice shows the VAT contained — 3.8% on lodging, 8.1% on extras.
  • A QR-bill on every invoiceGive your IBAN once and each invoice carries a Swiss QR-bill for the balance, with its own reference.
  • Tourist tax by age bandChildren pay nothing, half or the full rate, as your commune says; the booking form asks their ages.
  • The month for your accountantEvery charge and payment of the month by VAT rate, as a CSV.
The bill of a stay: three nights, the tourist tax, a deposit by card and the balance due.
A real screen of the console, with invented guests. The console speaks English for now.

05 / Calendars

Booking.com and Airbnb calendars swapped by iCal, so no room is sold twice.

  • Their bookings block your roomsKwipps reads each room's iCal calendar from Booking.com and Airbnb every hour and blocks those nights.
  • Your bookings block theirsEach room publishes its own iCal feed, to paste into those sites.
  • Dates only, said plainlyPrices and room details stay where you set them, on each site. A full connection to Booking.com's system is a later step.
  • BlocksClose a room for a repair or a family visit.

The terms

Plain terms, in four lines

No contract

A monthly plan with no minimum term.

No setup fee

We build the website before you pay. Your own address is charged for its first year when you go live.

No commission, no fee per guest

The price is the plan. Kwipps takes nothing from a booking or a payment; a card payment carries only the payment provider's own fee.

Cancel monthly

Cancel from your account whenever you like. The plan runs to the end of the month you paid for.

Prices in Swiss francs, for every trade the same. The plans are under Pricing above.

Questions

Questions, answered

What is Kwipps for hotels?

A website for your hotel with a booking tool on it, and one console for the desk, the rooms, the prices and the bill. We build the website first, free; you choose a plan only if you want it live.

Is it made for a big hotel?

It is made for small hotels and guesthouses: one house, one desk, rooms counted in the tens. Pro gives everyone on the team a login; a group of hotels is not what it is built for.

Do guests need an account?

No. They ask for a stay with their name and email, and manage it from the link in their email.

Do I pay anything before I see my website?

No. We build your website first and you try it — the console included. You only choose a plan if you want to go live.

How quickly do I see something?

The demo website arrives by email 1–3 minutes after you send the form. Going live starts when you choose a plan and an address.

Is there a commission on bookings?

No. Bookings come from your own website, and the price is the plan. There is no booking platform in between taking a share.

Do card payments cost extra?

Kwipps takes nothing from a payment. Deposits go through Stripe, whose own fee applies, and TWINT is offered where the account has it. Deposits start once a plan is chosen: a preview never takes real money.

Does it connect to Booking.com and Airbnb?

By calendar: Kwipps reads each room's calendar from those sites and publishes its own, so a room booked there is blocked here within the hour and the other way round. Prices are not sent; you set them on each site. A full connection to Booking.com's system is a later step.

What about the tourist tax and VAT?

You set the tourist tax per person per night; it is added to every booking and shown apart. Prices include VAT, and the invoice shows the VAT contained at the Swiss rates — 3.8% on lodging, 8.1% on extras — when you are registered.

Can my staff log in?

Yes. The Business plan includes 3 logins and Pro has no limit. Each person has their own sign-in, and you can remove it at any time.

Can I see it working first?

Yes. Hotel Ambrosine is our demo hotel, with invented rooms and guests: open its website and look at the booking tool the way a guest would.

What happens if I cancel?

Plans are monthly. Cancel and your plan runs to the end of the month you paid for. Your domain and your content are yours.

Your free demo

  • Free, and no card asked for
  • Ready in 1–3 minutes
