It’s time to retire passwords.🔐

For small hotel owners, switching to passkeys is a gamechanger for securing your booking system and guest data. To log in, you simply use your device’s biometrics or your phone’s PIN.

So why switch?

🔒 Better security: Passkeys can’t be “phished” or stolen

✅ Simple and fast: No more forgotten passwords during busy check-ins

❌ Eliminate human error: Saves your staff from juggling multiple passwords

⏩ Skip the SMS codes: Unlike Two-Factor Authentication, you don’t have to wait for a text message code to arrive

Using a passkey is the fastest, easiest, and most secure way to log into your freetobook account – and it’s available to all users!

A glowing testimonial from Jeff and Linda, owners of When Pigs Fly Inn.🌟

Their historic turn-of-the-century Inn in Washington, North Carolina, offers a local charm that chain hotels just can’t match.

Since joining ftb, Jeff and Linda have switched from relying on Online Travel Agents (OTAs) to 100% direct bookings!

How? They're no longer connected to OTAs. Instead, they use Google Zero, which advertises the Inn on Google for free.

Paired with the Inn’s beautiful booking pages and website, this almost guarantees more direct bookings.

We’re proud to be part of their journey towards 100% direct bookings!💙

This week we welcomed the lovely Jeff and Linda, owners of When Pigs Fly Inn and proud freetobook customers, to our Glasgow office.💙

Since joining freetobook a few years ago, their property now gets 100% of its bookings direct. Wow!

We hope Jeff and Linda enjoyed meeting the team, touring freetobook HQ, and chatting over tea and Tunnock’s biscuits. We even exchanged merch!

We’ll have to return the favour and visit them at When Pigs Fly Inn in North Carolina.👀🏨

Another fantastic 10/10 review on Hotel Tech Report from Timothy at Chabanettes Boutique Hotel & Spain France 🇫🇷

We've shared his full feedback in the graphic below, but what really stands out is the balance he highlights: great value, ease of use, and powerful features working quietly behind the scenes.

It's exactly what we aim to deliver: giving independent accommodation providers the tools to present a professional online booking experience and compete with confidence.

Thanks again to Timothy and the team for sharing their thoughts💙
