What Tommy Booking Does Well

Tommy has earned their market position over 20+ years:

  • Check-in kiosks (Incheckzuil): Their physical self-service kiosks are industry-leading. Guests can arrive, book a spot, pay, and receive access codes—even at unmanned reception areas.
  • Campground DNA: Built specifically for Dutch campgrounds. Pitch categories, seasonal placements, annual contracts—all native to the system.
  • Camper park specialization: For camper parks without permanent reception, Tommy's automated check-in solution is particularly strong.
  • 1,200+ customers: A massive install base means they've seen every edge case. Their software is battle-tested.
  • Prosuco partnership: Through their partner Prosuco, they offer full-service packages including marketing, websites, and even exploitation management.
  • Modular flexibility: Only pay for what you need. Small campground? Skip the fancy modules. Growing? Add them later.

What Odeva Does Better

Here's where we think Odeva offers advantages:

Modern Interface & Technology

Tommy Booking has evolved over 20 years, which can mean some interface patterns feel dated. Odeva was built in 2024-2025 with modern web technologies, resulting in faster load times, cleaner interfaces, and better mobile experiences.

Transparent, All-Inclusive Pricing

Tommy's modular pricing can be complex to predict. Each feature—channel management, access control, owner portals—adds cost. With Odeva, everything is included in one flat rate. You know exactly what you'll pay, and you won't be surprised by upsells.

Unlimited Channels & Users

Want to list on Booking.com, Airbnb, and five regional OTAs? With Odeva, that's included. Need 10 staff members with access? Also included. No counting seats or channel slots.

Owner Portal Standard

If you manage units owned by investors, Odeva's owner portal with automated settlements is included by default—not an add-on module.

No Lock-In

We offer monthly contracts because we believe you should stay because we deliver value, not because you're locked in. Cancel anytime if we're not working for you.

What Tommy Booking Does Better

Where Tommy genuinely outshines us:

  • Physical check-in kiosks: This is Tommy's signature feature. If you need hardware kiosks for self-service check-in, Tommy is the proven choice.
  • Campground specialization: 20+ years focused on Dutch campgrounds means they understand nuances like pitch type management, meter readings, and camping card integration deeply.
  • Established ecosystem: More local integrations, more trained resellers, more references you can call.
  • Full-service options: Through Prosuco, you can outsource not just software but marketing, website, and even operations. We're software-only.
  • Track record: 1,200 customers over 20+ years. If you need references for your exact situation, Tommy likely has them.
  • Camper parks: Their unstaffed reception solution is specifically designed for camper parks and is more mature than our approach.

Does Tommy Booking have check-in kiosks?
Yes, and they're excellent. Tommy's self-service check-in kiosks (incheckzuil) are their signature feature— particularly popular with camper parks and unstaffed reception areas. Guests can book, pay, and get access codes directly at the kiosk. Odeva focuses on online self-check-in rather than physical hardware.
Can I migrate from Tommy Booking to Odeva?
