What Cloudbeds offers
Cloudbeds, founded in 2012, says over 20,000 properties in 150 countries use it, from small hotels to groups. Its One and Experience plans include a booking engine and channel manager with no added commission, the night audit runs automatically, and guest messaging, revenue tools and payments are available. A built‑in restaurant POS was announced in October 2026 as a pilot, and accounting connects to QuickBooks or Xero. All plans are priced on request (pricing).
Why hotels compare alternatives
- A price they can see. Some owners want to compare published prices before booking a sales call.
- The restaurant on the same bill. Hotels with a restaurant want the till, kitchen tickets and room charges in one system today.
- Accounting inside the system, without a second subscription to keep in step.
