Intelligent Hotel Platform with API Integrations for Travel Agencies and Media
BestHotels.bg – A Scalable, Data-Driven System for Hotel Rankings in Bulgaria
Project Overview
BestHotels.bg is a powerful, data-centric tourism platform developed for a client who organizes the most prestigious 4- and 5-star hotel ranking in Bulgaria, as well as leading national travel expos.
The platform delivers an intelligent blend of hotel data management, affiliate integration, custom hotel ranking algorithms (HotScore), and top-tier performance across devices.

Why This Project Stands Out
Our client is a recognized media authority in the tourism industry, and this solution meets their demands for:
-
High speed and responsiveness
-
Full code and data ownership
-
Reliable affiliate commission tracking
-
Continuous expandability and custom development
This project was built entirely from scratch, without CMS platforms like WordPress or Wix. This approach ensures complete control over performance, security, and upgrades, critical for high-value digital ecosystems.
Ideal Use Cases
This system architecture is perfect for:
-
Travel agencies
-
Hotel chains
-
Affiliate travel media platforms
-
SEO-focused hotel ranking and review sites
-
Businesses targeting mobile-first users
The Future of Travel Platforms Isn’t Templated
It’s built on flexible, API-powered ecosystems that adapt, scale, and connect with global providers.
