Hotelios

What Hotelios does

Hotelios (legal entity OOO "Booking System") is a private Uzbek B2B online hotel booking platform founded in 2015, operating as the first and only dedicated B2B marketplace of its kind in Central Asia. The company connects hotels with corporate clients (legal entities) and tour operators across 7 countries — Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia — covering 750+ hotels in Uzbekistan and 1,065+ total across the region. The platform enables corporate clients to search, book, and manage hotel reservations in real time, replacing traditional fax, email, and phone-based booking workflows with instant online confirmation and consolidated invoicing.

The core technology consists of a web-based B2B booking system (system.hotelios.uz) for corporate clients and a free hotel extranet portal for supply-side partners. Hotels receive a free management module to update availability, pricing, and view booking analytics; corporate clients access a dashboard with resident/non-resident pricing tiers, group booking capability, and add-on services including airport/station transfers, Green Corridor and CIP Hall booking at Tashkent airport, and foreign guest insurance. The platform is hosted within TAS-IX (Uzbekistan's domestic internet exchange) for fast local access.

Hotelios generates revenue exclusively through transaction commissions paid by hotels on completed bookings; the commission is described as 'very low' and denominated in Uzbek sums. Both hotels and corporate clients connect and use the platform free of charge, with no subscription or connection fees. Distribution is hybrid: self-service online booking (3-minute booking flow) combined with a dedicated field sales team that conducts in-person onboarding for enterprise clients. As of mid-2017, 148 corporate companies were active on the platform; the company celebrated its 10-year anniversary in June 2024 and notes that competitor entry validates the market it created.

Core offering

Hotelios operates a B2B online platform that connects hotels directly with corporate clients and tour operators, enabling real-time room search, booking, and confirmation across Uzbekistan and neighboring Central Asia/Caucasus countries. Hotels access a free inventory and pricing management module, while corporate clients use an extranet portal to book rooms, manage resident/non-resident pricing, and add ancillary services such as airport transfers, CIP lounge access, and travel insurance in a single workflow.

Product overview

Hotelios operates as a unified B2B e-commerce platform offering hotel room booking as its core product, supplemented by ancillary travel services. The central offering is the Hotelios B2B Hotel Booking Platform — a web-based system where corporate clients and travel companies can search, book, and manage hotel reservations in real time across Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia. Complementing the core booking engine, the platform bundles three service modules: Airport/Station Transfer Booking, Green Corridor and CIP Hall Service, and Foreign Guest Insurance. All services are accessible through a single account and booking workflow, positioned as a "virtual booking department" for corporate clients.

Direct peers

• HRS Group: Global B2B hotel booking platform serving corporate clients with direct hotel contracts, negotiated rates, and consolidated booking workflows - the same value proposition Hotelios offers, but at global scale and targeting multinational corporate travel programs.
• HotelRunner: B2B hotel technology and distribution platform providing channel management, direct booking tools, and connectivity for independent hotels and small chains across emerging markets; closely parallels Hotelios's hotel-facing extranet and inventory distribution model.
• Hotelbeds: Global B2B hotel distribution marketplace that connects hotels to travel buyers (tour operators, OTAs, corporate clients) via direct contracts and a connectivity platform; directly comparable marketplace model to Hotelios's hotel-corporate intermediary business.
• Travelline: Russian B2B hotel extranet and booking platform that connects hotels with corporate clients and travel agencies via direct contracts, mirroring Hotelios's model in the CIS market with an integrated PMS/channel-manager plus reservation system for properties.

Broad incumbents

• Booking.com for Business: Corporate booking arm of Booking.com offering business travelers negotiated rates, travel policy controls, and reporting; competes with Hotelios for the same corporate client segment but with global inventory rather than Central Asia focus.
• Sabre Hospitality: Global travel technology provider with hotel distribution, CRS, and corporate booking capabilities; competes with Hotelios in the B2B hotel connectivity and corporate travel space, but as a large GDS-adjacent incumbent serving global chains rather than regional independents.
• Trip.com for Business: B2B corporate travel platform of Trip.com Group with global hotel inventory and corporate booking tools; competes for the same enterprise travel manager use case as Hotelios, but at global scale and with full-stack travel management features.
• Expedia Partner Solutions: B2B arm of Expedia Group offering hotel inventory, rates, and booking technology to corporate clients and travel platforms; competes with Hotelios for corporate hotel bookings but as part of a much broader global travel portfolio rather than a Central Asia specialist.

Regional players

• Ostrovok: Major Russian and CIS-focused online travel agency with extensive hotel inventory and corporate offerings; serves an overlapping geographic and customer base as Hotelios, though primarily B2C-anchored and headquartered in Russia.
• Aviata: Kazakhstan-based online travel platform offering hotel and air bookings with corporate travel functionality; geographic and segment overlap with Hotelios in the Kazakh market where Hotelios already has 178 hotels but with a broader product suite.
