Web platformBooking & travel
Tatilsepeti is a Turkish holiday marketplace, and what sets a similar platform apart is that it offers hotel stays together with holiday ideas, destination guides and deal campaigns. Users arrive before they have decided where to go; inspiring content, clear prices, secure payment and fast customer support move them from indecision to booking. Creating demand through campaigns even in the off-season is one of the most valuable skills of this model.
To build it, besides the catalogue and booking engine you need content management, a campaign builder and after-sales support screens. Because hotels, villas and tours follow different pricing logic, plan a flexible data model by product type, a supplier panel and an admin panel that supports financial reconciliation. That way, adding a new product type does not mean rewriting the system from scratch.
How Tatilsepeti works: the core user flow
How many apps and dashboards do you need?
Customer site
Holidaymakers read inspirational content, compare products and make bookings.
Supplier panel
Hotel and villa owners manage availability, rates and campaign details.
Support and operations panel
The support team follows booking changes, cancellations and customer requests.
Admin panel
Campaigns, content, commissions and reconciliation reports are managed here.
Critical features of a product like Tatilsepeti
Multiple product types
Hotels, villas, apartments and tours sit in one catalogue, each with its own pricing logic (per person, per night, per week).
Campaign builder
Discount rules by region, date range, hotel group or payment type are defined without needing technical help.
Destination guides
Region pages, travel tips and blog content attract SEO traffic and link through to product listings.
Price guarantee and refund flow
A request and approval flow lets the support team handle cases where a user reports a lower price elsewhere.
Supplier reconciliation
Amounts owed to hotels, commissions and cancellation deductions are reported period by period.
Reminders and cross-selling
Before the stay, transfer, car rental and activity suggestions are offered through automated emails.

The hard parts
Managing different product types in one model
A nightly hotel rate and a weekly villa rental must work consistently in the same basket, so the data model has to be right from the start.
Campaign conflicts
When several discount rules apply to the same product, losses can occur unless priority and stacking rules are clear.
Balancing SEO and speed
Loading many region and hotel pages quickly and indexing them correctly requires server-side rendering and caching.
Business model
The core revenue is the commission on hotel and villa bookings. Extra fees from suppliers joining deal campaigns, sponsored placements on the home and region pages, cross-sales such as transfers and activities, and affiliate links on content pages strengthen the revenue model. Raising the repeat-customer rate with a loyalty programme also grows commission income indirectly.

Choosing a company to build an app like Tatilsepeti
Most people searching “website like tatilsepeti” are really looking for a reliable app development company. When comparing quotes, check four things:
- Can you try similar products they have shipped, in the stores or live?
- Are the source code, design files, servers and store accounts transferred to you by contract?
- Do they show a working demo every two weeks, with written scope and acceptance criteria?
- Are maintenance, scaling and GDPR/security costs written into the quote?
Copyright and trademarks
A business model and features are generally not protected on their own, but the Tatilsepeti name, logo, interface design, content and source code are. That is why we build a product with similar functionality but your own brand, design and code. This is not legal advice; we recommend a trademark search before launch.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build a website like Tatilsepeti?
A first version selling hotels and villas can be ready in a few months. Modules such as tour products, a mobile app and automatic reconciliation are added in later stages.
Can villas and hotels be sold on the same site?
Yes, but since their pricing and availability logic differ, the data model must be designed to support both product types.
Ready-made script or custom software?
Ready-made solutions may be enough for standard hotel sales; if you need a campaign builder, content-driven SEO and multiple product types, custom software is the healthier choice.
Will there be copyright or trademark problems?
Building a similar business model is generally free. The name, logo, design, content and code cannot be copied, and this explanation is not legal advice.
