You run a guesthouse, cottages or apartments in Mielno, Unieście or Sarbinowo. The season lasts a few months, and Booking.com takes a minimum of 15-20% of every reservation. At 200 nights per season that is PLN 15,000-30,000 a year handed over in commission.
Meanwhile your own website, if it exists at all, looks like it was made in 2015. It doesn't work well on the phone, doesn't show availability, doesn't build trust. Guests prefer to book through Booking, because it's simpler there.
It doesn't have to be this way. A website that presents the property well, shows availability and lets guests book directly reduces your dependence on portals and stays with you for years. See how we build websites and what our WordPress care covers.
We understand your problem
Booking, Nocowanie and other portals take a commission on every transaction - up to 50% on higher plans. Over a full season that's tens of thousands of zlotys a year that could stay in your business.
PLN 15-30k a year in commissions at 200 nights per season
A guest lands on your site but sees no gallery, no availability, no easy way to book. They go back to Booking, because it's simpler there. You lose a client you already had.
When someone searches for “cottages Mielno” or “apartments Unieście”, your site doesn't show up. Booking ranks higher and takes the next guest along with the commission.
Move the sliders to see how much commission stays with the portals every year - and how many direct bookings it takes for your own website to pay for itself.
48 000 PLN
commission handed over every year
You pay the commission every year, on every booking, and it grows with your revenue. The costs of your own channel stay flat no matter how much you sell.
An estimate. Booking takes a minimum of 15-20%, more on higher plans. Your own channel has costs too and we don't hide them: the Hotres booking system is about PLN 1,000 per half-year, the payment provider takes up to 1% per transaction, domain and hosting cost PLN 300-500 a year. Website pricing is quoted individually after a call.
A booking system integrated with the site - guests see availability, pick dates and pay online. No portal commissions.
We connect the site to the system you already use. Hotres, BedBooking, eService - the availability calendar updates automatically.
Professional presentation of rooms, cottages and surroundings. Full-screen photos, accommodation types, virtual tour.
The site loads in under a second and works perfectly on the phone - more than half of accommodation bookings now happen on a smartphone.
Optimisation for local phrases: “guesthouse Mielno”, “cottages Unieście”, “apartments Sarbinowo”. So you don't have to pay for every guest.
Integration with eService, Przelewy24 or PayU. Guests pay when booking - you have payment certainty and fewer cancellations.

Royal Palm is a resort of holiday cottages with a heated pool, 300 m from Lake Jamno. We built their WordPress site: a custom theme and a dedicated plugin that connects the site to the Hotres system and handles online payments via eService (card, BLIK, bank transfer). Guests check dates, pick a cottage and pay directly on the site, with no portal commissions.
„Stalo przed nami wyzwanie stworzenia niezaleznego systemu rezerwacji dla naszych osrodkow wypoczynkowych. Pomogli nam uporzadkowac strone od strony technicznej, SEO i rezerwacji. Wdrozyli nowa wersje strony, integracje z systemem Hotres, platnosci online/Blik oraz elementy zwiazane z pozycjonowaniem. Wspolpraca przebiegala sprawnie, kontakt byl konkretny, a efekt jest dokladnie taki, jakiego potrzebowalismy.”

We work with properties along the whole Mielno - Unieście - Sarbinowo strip. We know this market inside out: a short, intense season, guests booking from their phones on the way to the seaside and prices changing week to week. That's why the sites we build here have an availability calendar always in sync with Hotres or BedBooking, one-minute payments and a gallery that defends your peak-season rates. We're based in Koszalin and know this stretch of coast first-hand, and our support works in mid-August too, when every hour of downtime means lost bookings. We work remotely - calls by phone or Google Meet.
We get to know your property, seasonality, current booking system and goals. We check what can be improved right away.
We design a site matched to the character of your property. We help with texts and photo selection.
We build the site, connect the booking system (Hotres, BedBooking or custom), configure payments and the domain.
We launch the site, train you on managing it and provide ongoing technical care.
It depends on the scale: the number of room or cottage types, the booking system and payment integrations. A simple business-card website is a different budget than a site with full online booking. We prepare an exact quote after a free call, once we know the scope.
Yes. If you use Hotres or BedBooking, you manage everything in the system panel and the site updates automatically. If you don't have such a system, we'll help you choose and implement one.
A standard site for an accommodation business takes 3 to 5 weeks. It depends on the number of rooms/cottages, integrations and whether you have photos and content ready.
Yes, but it's a process. The site gives you a direct booking channel. Combined with a Google Business Profile, good SEO and a link in your social media bio, it gradually takes over the traffic that currently goes through middlemen.
Yes. We offer ongoing technical care: updates, backups, security monitoring and fast help when something breaks. We don't abandon clients after launch.

Moja przygoda z Webfilar rozpoczela sie w 2020 roku, gdy jeszcze nie sprzedawalem przez internet. Od tamtej pory przez ponad 4 lata uzyskalem nieoceniona pomoc w rozwoju biznesu. Wspolnie przygotowalismy oferte sklepu, tresci i automatyzacje. W ostatnim roku osiagnelismy sprzedaz ponad 117% wyzsza niz w poprzednich latach.
Dostałem cenne informacje na temat SEO, czyli pozycjonowania stron/serwisów internetowych w google.com, aby pojawiały się wysoko w wynikach wyszukiwania.
