Alternatives to MyTourist in 2026 — an honest comparison

MyTourist has a strong position in the BE market but lacks Channex connectivity and modern PMS features. What are your alternatives? An impartial comparison with BedFlow, Cubilis, RoomRaccoon and Lodgify.

MyTourist is a familiar name for many B&B operators in the Belgian market. The system has worked for years, your accountant knows the export, and the fiscal tourist-tax flow is well-developed.

But a growing group of owners is noticing that MT no longer fits the modern B&B stack. In 2026, three shortcomings keep coming up in conversations:

1. No Channex connection

MyTourist once synced with Booking.com via an older API — and that worked well. But the hospitality sector has moved on. Today, guests expect bookings via Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, Google Hotel, HRS, Weekendesk and more. Channex is the standardized channel API behind about 80% of those channels. A PMS that is Channex-certified automatically syncs availability and pricing across all those channels. MyTourist does not have that certification.

2. No WhatsApp inbox

67% of guest replies at Burgemeestershof come via WhatsApp, not email. MyTourist has no built-in WhatsApp functionality. In a modern PMS, the WhatsApp inbox should sit right next to the booking.

3. No multi-property in a single account

Have two B&Bs? In MT, you pay for each unit a separate subscription, with separate logins, separate data silos, separate invoices.

The alternatives

BedFlow

Channex-certified (finalizing 2026), WhatsApp inbox built in, multi-property in 1 account. €39-249/m. MT data import is free without canceling MT.

Cubilis (Stardekk)

Established Belgian player. €89-189/m. Channex still runs on the older v1 API, no WhatsApp.

RoomRaccoon

International PMS aimed at 10-50 room hotels. €99-199/m. Feels heavy for 4-12 room B&Bs, support slow.

Lodgify

Budget option for vacation rentals. €13-87/m. No Channex cert — syncs via iCal.

Which fits you?

Stay on MyTourist if you're happy with manual Booking.com updates and run one property.
Switch to BedFlow if you want to keep MT as invoicing but want Channex + WhatsApp + multi-property.
Cubilis if you want an established BE product with more consultant support.
RoomRaccoon if you have 15+ rooms and need revenue management.
