When each option fits
Hotelbeds is the anchor when

- You want flights and packages alongside hotels.
DOTW adds value when

Integration considerations
| Concern | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Authentication | Each supplier ships its own auth model. Vervotech consolidates credentials into one API key. |
| Rate limits | Per supplier throttling applies at source. Vervotech pools your effective quota across suppliers. |
| Content format | REST JSON, SOAP XML, or legacy XML depending on supplier. Vervotech normalizes every schema to one canonical JSON. |
| Room canonicalization | Room type strings vary by supplier. Vervotech deduplicates equivalent rooms into one canonical room ID. |
| Rate freshness | Depends on supplier cache TTL and refresh cadence. Vervotech surfaces the freshest quote across sources. |
| Sandbox access | Each supplier operates its own sandbox with its own onboarding flow. One Vervotech trial unlocks all mapped supplier sandboxes. |
The middleware option: integrate all of them
Most B2B travel platforms do not pick one supplier and skip the others. They plug in Hotelbeds, TBO Holidays (TBO.com), Destinations of the World (DOTW) and let a canonical mapping layer decide which one to book on each request. Vervotech is that layer. Every property across every supplier resolves to one hotel ID at 99.998% mapping accuracy, room types collapse to canonical room IDs, and every rate flows through one REST endpoint. Your booking engine talks to one API instead of 3.
The commercial contracts with Hotelbeds, TBO Holidays (TBO.com), Destinations of the World (DOTW) stay with you. Vervotech consumes your supplier credentials and returns the normalized, deduplicated result. Adding a supplier later means flipping a config value, not building another integration.
Frequently asked questions
Should I pick Hotelbeds or TBO Holidays (TBO.com)?
For most B2B travel platforms, the answer is both. Hotelbeds and TBO Holidays (TBO.com) carry overlapping but non identical inventory, and the same property is often available at different rates from each. Vervotech lets you integrate both through one API and rate shop across them on every request.
Do Hotelbeds and TBO Holidays (TBO.com) sell the same hotels?
There is significant property overlap between Hotelbeds and TBO Holidays (TBO.com), especially in global chain and popular OTA inventory. But each has exclusive contracts, region specific coverage, and different rate structures. Vervotech's canonical hotel mapping resolves the overlap so you see one listing per property with rates from every supplier that sells it.
Can I integrate Hotelbeds and TBO Holidays (TBO.com) without Vervotech?
Yes. You would build two separate integrations, maintain two supplier credential sets, parse two response schemas, and reconcile duplicate properties in your own database. Most teams choose Vervotech for the mapping and normalization layer to avoid that maintenance load.
How does Vervotech handle rate differences between Hotelbeds and TBO Holidays (TBO.com)?
Vervotech returns every rate from every connected supplier for a given hotel and room, side by side. You choose the routing logic: cheapest rate, preferred supplier, best margin. Profit Maximizer can also monitor the booking after confirmation and rebook automatically if a lower rate appears on any connected supplier.
What does it cost to integrate Hotelbeds and TBO Holidays (TBO.com) via Vervotech?
Vervotech Hotel Mapping starts at $499 per month and includes the full 400+ supplier network. There are no per supplier integration fees on top of the subscription. Bundle discounts up to 50% apply when you connect multiple products (mapping, content, rate optimization).
How long does integration take?
The 7-day Vervotech free trial gives you sandbox access to every mapped supplier. Most teams go from trial signup to first live booking within days. Direct integration with Hotelbeds and TBO Holidays (TBO.com) separately typically takes weeks to months per supplier.
Does Vervotech expose the raw Hotelbeds and TBO Holidays (TBO.com) responses?
Vervotech returns a normalized canonical response by default, with every rate tagged by source supplier. You can also request raw supplier responses when needed, for example to satisfy contractual reporting requirements.
Integrate 3 suppliers through one API
