Should I pick Hotelbeds or WebBeds?

For most B2B travel platforms, the answer is both. Hotelbeds and WebBeds 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 WebBeds sell the same hotels?

There is significant property overlap between Hotelbeds and WebBeds, 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 WebBeds 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 WebBeds?

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 WebBeds 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 WebBeds separately typically takes weeks to months per supplier.

Does Vervotech expose the raw Hotelbeds and WebBeds 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.

When each option fits

Hotelbeds is the stronger pick when

Your buyer base is concentrated in Europe or Latin America, where Hotelbeds has the deepest contract network.
You need mature B2B reporting, contract-level rate parity control, and long-established markup rules.
You want a single global bedbank with the largest cumulative property footprint.

WebBeds is the stronger pick when

Your buyer base is concentrated in the Middle East, Asia Pacific, or Africa, where WebBeds contract depth is strongest.
You need JacTravel and Sunhotels legacy inventory alongside modern WebBeds contracts.
You want an alternative source for European properties where Hotelbeds rates are uncompetitive.

The middleware option: integrate all of them

Most B2B travel platforms do not pick one supplier and skip the others. They plug in Hotelbeds, WebBeds 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 2.

The commercial contracts with Hotelbeds, WebBeds 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.
