Case Study: 7 Fells Hostel achieves 72% direct bookings with Cloudbeds

This unique hostel saw a rapid increase in direct bookings after switching to Cloudbeds

7 Fells Hostel, a cozy, eco-friendly property in Lapland owned by Tinja Tamminen, needed a simpler property management system and a better reservation site to capture more direct bookings across seasons. Seeking an easier alternative to her previous PMS, she chose Cloudbeds and its commission-free, mobile-friendly booking engine and PMS tools.

Cloudbeds delivered an intuitive drag-and-drop PMS, integrated booking engine, housekeeping module and reporting tools that streamlined daily operations and channel updates. As a result, direct bookings climbed rapidly—now 72% of all reservations are booked directly—while overbookings dropped and Tinja gained clearer financial and operational reporting.
