Amenitiz alternative: Book With Haven vs Amenitiz
Amenitiz is an all-in-one hotel platform for independent hotels and B&Bs of three rooms or more, with a website its own team builds for you. Haven is a direct booking platform built for short-term rental hosts, inns and small lodges: a free listing in AI guest search plus the branded site, checkout, guest CRM, guidebooks, screening, upsells, and marketing behind it, with 0% commission. This page compares the website, booking engine, and guest layer only.
Competitor facts checked
5.0on Capterra · 6 reviews, September 2026Book With Haven and Amenitiz both want a property to take bookings on its own website instead of paying a marketplace. They are built for different owners, and this page is honest about that.
Amenitiz, founded in Barcelona in 2017, is an all-in-one platform for independent hotels: a property management system, a channel manager, a booking engine, a website builder, and AmenitizPay, with local-language teams in France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal and English support elsewhere. It states more than 15,000 independent hotels as customers and raised a $45 million Series B in November 2025. Its stated audience is independent hotels of 3 to 30+ rooms, B&Bs, rural hotels, and multi-room vacation rentals — not single-unit hosts. Based on publicly available information as of October 2026, its two plans, Core and Advanced, are quote-only (“your price depends on your rooms”), it charges no commission on direct bookings, AmenitizPay costs 1.5% + €0.25 per transaction, and the Amenitiz expert team builds your hotel website for you, which you edit afterwards. Ami, its AI guest-messaging assistant, is a paid add-on, and AmenitizBoost charges a commission on the bookings its campaigns bring in, with the rate unpublished.
Book With Haven is the direct booking platform itself, built for short-term rental hosts, inns and small lodges. Every place you connect from Airbnb, your PMS, or an iCal feed gets its own free Haven site and a place in Haven’s plain-language AI guest search, the Haven app, and the open catalog that ChatGPT, Claude, and other assistants read — with no listing fee and no commission. Behind that site is the rest of the platform: Stripe checkout, a guest CRM with smart remarketing, digital guidebooks that capture guest emails, free screening with up to $50,000 damage protection on eligible bookings via Truvi, native upsells, turnover tasks and payouts, taxes, an SEO and AI-search scorecard, Blog Autopilot, AI reels, loyalty points, and a Haven Assistant that changes your site from a sentence.
Haven is not a hotel PMS or a channel manager, and this page does not pretend otherwise: Amenitiz’s front desk, POS, and 120+ channel connections are its strengths and are conceded below. The comparison is the piece the two share — the direct booking website, the booking engine, and what happens to the guest after they book.
Book With Haven vs Amenitiz, at a glance
Short-term rental hosts, inns and small lodges: single homes, multi-unit groups, and brand sites with room types and property profile pages.
Independent hotels of 3 to 30+ rooms, B&Bs, rural hotels, and multi-room vacation rentals, per its homepage FAQ; single-unit hosts are outside its stated target, as of October 2026.
Connect Airbnb, your PMS, or an iCal feed and every place gets a free Haven site in Haven’s AI guest search, the Haven app, and the catalog AI assistants read. No listing fee, no commission, no guest fee — guests send booking requests, Haven emails you each one, and you pay only to accept.
A Google Hotel Ads connection with “zero commission to Google” and AmenitizBoost, a paid ads and metasearch product that charges a commission on completed stays (rate unpublished); no listing in a traveler-facing search of its own documented.
Your listings appear in Haven’s plain-language AI stay search and in its open search API and MCP server for ChatGPT, Claude, and other assistants — each result links travelers to book direct with you, with no commission or guest fee.
Google Hotel Ads and metasearch through AmenitizBoost; no plain-language search, search API, or MCP server for AI assistants documented as of October 2026.
A standalone booking site — no PMS subscription required — that connects to the PMS you already run.
The website builder and booking engine are features of a Core or Advanced Amenitiz subscription, which includes its PMS and channel manager.
A no-code branded site per listing or multi-unit group, custom domain, and built-in Stripe checkout with instant book or request-to-book — the free Haven site becomes your direct booking site the moment you subscribe.
A hospitality-template website with a commission-free booking engine, promo codes, exclusive direct rates, extras at booking, and AmenitizPay for deposits, balances, and payment links. Hosting lasts for the subscription; SSL is not mentioned on its pages.
Self-serve: the free Haven site is built from your Airbnb, PMS, or iCal import; edit it yourself or ask the Haven Assistant, and publish when you are ready — no designer queue.
“The Amenitiz expert team builds your hotel website for you”, with a “live in 30 days or your first month is on us” guarantee; you edit text, images, and offers afterwards and saves go live without a publish step. Not self-serve to launch.
Keep your current site and embed Haven’s booking widget (a script and one div, works in WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, or React), blog widget, or multi-unit search widget; guidebooks, CRM, screening, upsells, and taxes all work alongside it.
The booking engine is marketed with the Amenitiz-built website; embedding it on an existing site is not described on its public pages.
No per-booking commission and no guest service fee on any plan (standard Stripe fees apply).
“Every booking made through your Amenitiz booking engine is 100% commission-free”, with no per-reservation fees — a genuine strength. AmenitizBoost campaigns are the exception: commission on the completed stays they generate, rate unpublished.
Built-in Stripe checkout; standard Stripe fees apply and Haven adds no per-booking commission or guest service fee.
AmenitizPay: 1.5% + €0.25 per transaction, published on its pricing FAQ as of October 2026.

Native two-way connectors for Hospitable, Guesty, Lodgify, Hostfully, OwnerRez, and Track. Any other PMS — Hostaway, Hostex, Uplisting, Smoobu, Beds24, Avantio, Octorate, AvaiBook, Hosthub, Zeevou, Hostify, Smily (BookingSync), Elina, Resly, Homhero, Streamline, Escapia, CiiRUS, and essentially every Airbnb-connected system — syncs listing content, photos, prices, availability, and reservations through Haven’s direct Airbnb integration: the same data the PMS already publishes there. The only via-Airbnb difference: Haven bookings and manual blocks close dates via the Haven iCal feed added in the PMS, not a reservation-write API.
Amenitiz is the PMS: two-way XML with its channels, an iCal fallback, and an open API on the Advanced plan.
Haven is the branded booking and guest-experience layer, not a replacement operations PMS. Native two-way connectors for Hospitable, Guesty, Lodgify, Hostfully, OwnerRez, and Track.

Haven bookings write back through native APIs, or via iCal added in the PMS for via-Airbnb connections.

Ami, a paid add-on to Conversations, replies in the guest’s language on WhatsApp, Booking.com, and Airbnb in manual, auto-suggest, or fully automatic mode, labels its messages as AI, and hands off what it cannot answer — a genuine strength for the inbox. A public-site chatbot, per-reply grading, and cross-property one-click fixes are not documented.
Opt-in loyalty points on every direct booking, spendable at any of your listings and applied automatically at checkout; four automatic rewards emails (points ready, reminder, expiring soon, last call) with the bookings they bring back; optional inactivity expiry with guest protections; and one program across teammates’ or agency clients’ listings, funded so their payouts stay whole. Included on every plan.
