Your website shouldn't advertise your suppliers
Groundwork for the Hospedaje photo library: every photograph a guest sees is served from our own address, so a property's website never quietly names the companies behind it.
There is a small detail most property websites get wrong, and almost nobody notices until they look.
Right-click a photograph on a hotel's website and copy its address. Quite often what comes back is not the hotel's name at all — it is the name of whichever company stores their files, or of whichever booking tool they happen to use. It sits there in the page source, in every link a guest shares, and in the little preview that appears when someone posts the page to WhatsApp or Facebook. The property paid for a website that represents their brand, and it is quietly carrying somebody else's.
We have just finished the groundwork so that never happens with Hospedaje. Every photograph a guest sees is served from an address we own, and the systems behind it — where the files actually live, which internal tools are involved — do not appear anywhere a guest, a search engine, or a shared link can reach. A property's photographs look like they belong to the property, because as far as anyone outside can tell, they do.
The timing was the point. We built this before a single photograph had been uploaded, which made it close to free. Had we waited, every stored photograph would already have carried the wrong address baked into it, and fixing it later would have meant rewriting all of them — while the links guests had already shared kept pointing at the old ones. Some things are cheap to get right at the start and expensive to correct afterwards, and this is squarely one of them.
None of this is visible yet. It is the foundation for the photo library that lets owners manage their own room photographs from their phone, which is the part that will actually change someone's day. That is coming next.
