Open Source Hotels — community-monetised hotel affiliate program

Open Source Hotels is the first community-monetised hotel affiliate program: anyone with an audience earns 5% on every booking, the source is on GitHub, and 1 tonne CO₂ is retired per stay.

What this is

Open Source Hotels is a brand of IMPT.io. It positions itself as the first hotel affiliate program that is (a) MIT-licensed open source, (b) climate-positive (1 t CO₂ retired per booking), and (c) channel-agnostic (36 ready integrations including AI assistants).

What Open Source Hotels means in practice

It's two things at once: a public-domain widget and a community-affiliate program. The widget is MIT-licensed code on GitHub. The program is a partner network where anyone with an audience — influencer, club, venue, pub, company — earns 5% on every confirmed hotel booking they drive.

Why the world needed this

Hotel affiliate marketing has been controlled by three closed players (Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda) for over a decade. Their partner programs are opaque, their cookie windows are short, and their commissions undercut anyone smaller than a top-1000 travel blog. Open Source Hotels resets the rules: 5% commission, 90-day cookie, source code in public, climate offset baked in.

Who actually uses this

How it actually works

Sign up free. Get a partner key. Drop the widget on a site, in a Telegram bot, on a WhatsApp number, as a QR code on a menu, in a Custom GPT, or any of 32 other channels. Audience books, you earn, payout is monthly.

Climate side

Every confirmed stay retires 1 tonne of UN-verified CO₂ on Ethereum. The on-chain receipt is publicly verifiable. This is not greenwashing copy — it's a smart-contract burn of a real verified credit.

FAQ

Is Open Source Hotels a separate company?

No — it's a brand of IMPT.io (Made in Ireland). The platform, the API, the inventory and the climate retirement contract are all IMPT.io's.

Why is the widget on a separate domain?

opensourcehotels.com is the developer / community-affiliate face. impt.io is the consumer hotel-booking front. Different audience, same backend.

Can I use this if I already have a Booking.com partner account?

Yes. They aren't exclusive. Most of our partners run both and watch which one converts better — we usually win on cookie length and channel coverage.

What does it cost?

€0 setup, €0 monthly. We pay you 5% on every confirmed booking your link drives.

How long is the cookie?

90 days. Click today, book in 89 days — you still earn the commission.

How is commission paid?

Monthly. Stripe / Wise / IBAN / PayPal / IMPT card / IMPT token. €50 minimum payout. Live tracker at swarm.impt.io/partners/dashboard.

Do my followers pay more?

No — same price as Booking.com or direct. Plus 1 tonne UN-verified CO₂ retired on Ethereum per booking. They lose nothing; you earn 5%.

How big is the inventory?

1.7M hotels in 195 countries via the IMPT.io hotel API. Live availability and pricing.

Is the widget really open source?

Yes — MIT licensed on GitHub. Fork it, self-host the front-end, hit our API for inventory and attribution.

Can I see real-time stats?

Yes — partner dashboard at swarm.impt.io/partners/dashboard shows clicks, bookings, earned, payable.

What's the catch?

There isn't one. We share 5 percentage points of the hotel commission with you and burn 1 t CO₂. Climate-positive affiliate, no upsell, no retainer.
