TL;DR
Little Hotelier is SiteMinder's solution for the small property market. If you run a B&B with 5 rooms, a guesthouse with 10, or a small inn with 20, this is built for you. The interface is dead simple, the channel manager connects you to Booking.com and Expedia without headaches, and the direct booking engine saves OTA commissions. Don't overcomplicate things — Little Hotelier handles what small properties actually need.
What is Little Hotelier?
Purpose-Built for Small Properties
Little Hotelier was created by SiteMinder — the global channel management leader — specifically for properties with 1-20 rooms. It takes SiteMinder's enterprise-grade channel connectivity and packages it in a simple interface that a B&B owner can manage themselves.
Simple by Design
The dashboard shows what you need: today's arrivals, departures, and occupancy. Click a room to check someone in. Click again to check out. Drag to move a booking. The simplicity is deliberate — small property owners manage their hotel alongside cooking breakfast and greeting guests. They need software that doesn't demand attention.
Channel Power
Despite the simplicity, Little Hotelier connects to 450+ booking channels through SiteMinder's technology. Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, and hundreds of regional channels. Real-time availability sync prevents double bookings. For a 10-room B&B, having enterprise-level distribution is a game-changer.
Realistic Pricing
Starting around $56/month for up to 8 rooms, Little Hotelier is affordable. The booking engine is included — direct bookings from your website save the 15-25% OTA commission. For a property doing even $3,000/month in revenue, the direct booking savings easily cover the subscription cost.
