Benvo vs Little Hotelier

Little Hotelier alternative for small hotels with more to run

Little Hotelier is a simple, affordable choice for B and Bs, guesthouses and small hotels whose business is mostly rooms. Benvo costs a little more for the same core jobs, and earns it when the property has a restaurant, bar, spa or company accounts, with full room bills, night audit, city ledger and housekeeping. For a small rooms only property, Little Hotelier is likely the better value.
