How to make a website for a hotel
Before calling a hotel, a guest wants to see the rooms, know the tariff, check if there is parking, an AC and a restaurant, and how far you are from the station or the temple. A small website with honest photos and room rates answers that and sends them to your front desk on WhatsApp or phone.

What people look for on a hotel website
- Each room type with real photos, the bed, AC or non-AC, and the tariff per night
- What is included in the tariff: breakfast, taxes, extra bed charges, child policy
- Check-in and check-out times and the ID guests must bring
- Distance from the railway station, bus stand, airport and the main sights, with directions
- Facilities: parking, lift, hot water, Wi-Fi, power backup, room service, restaurant
- Whether you host small functions, meetings or wedding guests in a block of rooms
- A WhatsApp button to ask about rooms for their dates
The pages your website needs
- Home: One line on where you are and what kind of stay you offer, two room photos, check-in time and a WhatsApp button to ask about dates
- Rooms and tariff: Each room type with photos, size, beds, AC, tariff per night, extra bed charge and what is included
- Facilities: Restaurant timings, parking, lift, Wi-Fi, power backup, and halls for small functions if you have them
- Location: How to reach from the station, bus stand and airport, distances to nearby sights and a Google Maps button
- Contact and policies: Front desk phone and WhatsApp, check-in and check-out times, ID rules, child and cancellation policy
Sample words for your home page
Clean, quiet rooms 10 minutes from Varanasi Cantt station
AC and non-AC rooms from ₹1,600 a night, with breakfast, parking and a lift. Ask about your dates on WhatsApp.
Hotel Gangotri Residency has 24 rooms in Sigra, Varanasi, run by the Mishra family since 2008. We arrange early check-in when a room is free, help with ghat and temple visits, and our restaurant serves pure vegetarian food.
Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.
How to make it with AppCub, step by step
- Decide the pages. Most hotel websites need these pages: Home, Rooms and tariff, Facilities, Location, Contact and policies.
- Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
- Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
- Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
- Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.
Copy this request, change the details to match your hotel, and paste it into AppCub:
Make a website for my hotel, Hotel Gangotri Residency, in Sigra, Varanasi, 10 minutes from Varanasi Cantt station. Pages: home, rooms and tariff, facilities, location, and contact and policies. Rooms: non-AC double ₹1,600, AC deluxe ₹2,400, AC family room for 4 ₹3,500, all with breakfast. Extra bed ₹500. Check-in 12 noon, check-out 11 AM. Valid photo ID needed for every adult. Pure vegetarian restaurant, parking, lift, power backup. Front desk WhatsApp 98XXXXXXXX. Use my room photos. Cream and maroon colours.
Tips for a hotel website
- Photograph every room type in daylight with the lights on, the bathroom included. Guests trust real photos more than wide-angle shots that make rooms look bigger.
- Say whether the tariff includes taxes and breakfast, and give the season or festival rates separately if they change.
- Write distances in minutes by auto or car from the places guests actually come from, such as the station and the airport.
- State the ID rule and the check-in time clearly so guests arriving at night know what to expect.
- Show your hotel or tourism registration number if you have one.
- Add the hotel to Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile and link the website there.
What it costs
- Describing your website and seeing AppCub’s plan for it is free.
- Making it and changing it in chat uses credits for the work done: start with the 2-day trial for ₹99 (150 credits) or the one-time App Pack for ₹499 (200 credits, no autopay). Starter is ₹1,599 a month for 700 credits.
- Publishing is free for an account that has paid AppCub once, at your-name.sites.appcub.ai.
- Work that fails or is rolled back costs no credits.
Good to know
- Guests can't check room availability, book a room or pay on the website; they message or call the front desk. To keep a room calendar your staff can see and take advances, a hotel app is the better fit.
- The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
- A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
- Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.
Questions
Can guests book a room on my hotel website?
No. The website has no booking calendar or payment. Guests tap the WhatsApp or call button from any page and your front desk confirms the room.
Does the website show which rooms are free?
No, it shows your room types and tariffs, not live availability. Availability is confirmed on WhatsApp or phone.
Should I show the same tariff that online travel sites show?
Show the rate a guest pays when they book with you directly, and say whether taxes and breakfast are included. Keep it the same everywhere you can, to avoid confusion at check-in.
How many photos should each room have?
Three or four per room type is enough: the bed, the bathroom, the view or window, and any seating. Add a few of the reception, restaurant and building front.
Can the website show my restaurant menu?
Yes, as a section on the facilities page with the timings and a few popular dishes. Guests can't order food from the website.
Will travellers find my hotel on Google?
The pages are made so Google can read them, with your address, phone and check-in details in the format search engines use. Where they appear is Google's decision; a free Google Business Profile helps them find you on Maps.
