What is Conttessa?
Consumer-facing content displays vary significantly by channel. And, in addition, frequent OTA extranet changes can also potentially offset hotel presentations. Our easy-to-use static content management tool was exactly designed in response to these hotel challenges. Descriptive hotel information updates (e.g., hotel facilities, standard policies, etc.) now only require a single database for managing all of your third party distribution, including OTA, meta search and review sites.
Quick and Simple Setup
Getting Conttessa started only requires the one-off mapping of channels and room types. Within the following onboarding check, Conttessa pulls data from all connected channels and compares the content. Incorrect information is automatically identified per criterion and reported to the hotel, enabling immediate content updates. Free-flow text fields and images (not managed via a data base) are manually updated by h2c’s content experts.
Fresh Content Scores!
Fresh content scores better OTA rankings – that’s what OTA Content Scores stand for. Here’s an example for its relevancy: If the opening times of the new hotel pool or restaurant have changed, then simply log in to Conttessa to update all selected distribution channels – this happens in one go, without requiring the hotel to log in to all employed extranets. If extranets change or add new content fields, Conttessa will alert you and highlight the new criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Conttessa?
Conttessa is a web-based platform for managing static hotel content, including descriptions, amenities, and policies, across OTAs, metasearch platforms, and review sites. For more detailed information, see the Conttessa Product Overview.
Who is Conttessa for?
Conttessa is designed for hotels, hotel groups, and chains that manage content across multiple channels and want to centralize updates instead of maintaining each extranet separately.
What are the benefits of Conttessa?
Conttessa helps hotels manage static content for multiple channels from one central place, which saves time and reduces manual effort. It improves content consistency across OTAs, metasearch platforms, and review sites, helps reduce data errors, and supports better visibility by keeping content accurate and up to date. It also alerts users when new criteria appear or when channel changes require attention, so hotels can respond faster without checking each extranet individually.
What makes Conttessa unique?
Conttessa combines automation with expert support to give hotels a smarter way to manage static content across multiple channels. It reduces manual work, keeps content consistent, and minimizes the need to log in to each extranet separately. Conttessa manages more than 10,000 unique content criteria, including highly specific details such as separate pool towels available, slippers in room, etc.. Hotels can review and correct their content at any time, which helps balance efficiency and control.
Does Conttessa support AI-driven search?
Yes, indirectly. Conttessa helps keep OTA content structured, rich, and consistent so it can be more easily read and used by AI systems. Furthermore, you can use Conttessa as a knowledge base for your chatbots or other AI initiatives.
How does Conttessa work?
Onboarding starts with selecting the distribution channels for each hotel and setting up the room types. Conttessa then imports the existing static content from all connected channels into the platform, providing a centralized overview of content discrepancies across OTAs and other distribution partners.
Hotels can easily identify inconsistencies and update their content to ensure accuracy and consistency across all channels. Once the initial setup is complete, ongoing maintenance is minimal. Hotels only need to log in when content changes are required, such as updates to room descriptions, amenities, or property information.
Conttessa also proactively monitors channel requirements and notifies users when OTA content fields are added or modified, helping hotels keep their content complete and up to date. Notifications are sent via email, ensuring that no important updates are missed.

Which OTAs, metasearch, and review sites can be updated via Conttessa?
Conttessa currently supports more than 30 OTA, metasearch, review, and distribution channels, including Agoda, Airbnb, Booking.com, Check24, Dayuse, Dnata, Expedia, Google Business Profile, HolidayCheck, Hotelbeds, HotelsCombined, HotelSpecials, HotelTonight, HRS, Jumbo Tours, kurz-mal-weg.de, Kurzurlaub.de, Lastminute, Mr & Mrs Smith, ODIGEO, Ostrovok, Prestigia, Tablet Hotels, Tagungshotels.de, TOMAS, TripAdvisor, Trip.com, Trivago, Wego, and Zoweg.nl.
The list of supported channels continues to evolve as new integrations are added and industry requirements change.
In addition to distribution channels, Conttessa can also connect to selected hospitality technology solutions. For example, an integration with HiJiffy enables hotels to provide consistent property information through their chatbot as well.
Can hotels choose which channels to use?
Yes. During setup, each hotel can select the number of contracted channels from the available list as part of its agreement. Different hotels can use different channel combinations.
Can channels be added or replaced later?
Yes. Additional channels can be contracted at any time, and originally contracted channels can be replaced during the contract term. A 80 EUR replacement fee per channel is charged because onboarding checks are repeated when a channel is replaced.
Is there a minimum contract term?
Yes. The minimum contract term is 12 months. If the contract is not terminated three months before expiry, it may be extended by another 12 months, depending on the agreement.
What does a hotel need to do to get started?
To get started, hotels select their channels and define their room types. After onboarding checks are completed, hotels review any discrepancies and provide feedback. Once setup is complete, updates can be managed in Conttessa whenever information changes, instead of logging in to multiple extranets manually.
How often can static content be changed?
Static content can be updated at any time and as often as needed during the agreement term. Some channels review changes before publishing them, which can delay visibility on the consumer-facing side.
Is an existing contract with each channel required?
Yes. Because Conttessa needs access to OTA, metasearch, and review-site extranets, a valid contract must already exist between the hotel and each respective channel.
How is data transmitted to OTAs and other channels?
For channels with live automatic updates, information is exchanged via interfaces. For channels without live automation, updates are handled manually by h2c’s expert team.
Why are some updates not fully automated?
Not every part of every channel can be updated automatically. Free-flow text, such as descriptions, may require manual handling, and some policy-related updates may require contact with the relevant channel account manager. Where automation is not available, h2c’s expert team supports the update process.
Can user rights be assigned?
Yes. Both single-property and multi-property user rights are possible. User rights are currently assigned by h2c during setup.
How is data security handled?
Conttessa data is stored on servers in Germany and backed up daily in an external repository.
Are there reference customers?
Yes. Conttessa is used by hotels worldwide. Example reference customers include citizenM, pentahotels, Rotana Hotels, and Lindner Hotels.
What support is available?
Support is available Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm CET in German and English. Customer support is free of charge.
CLIENTS’ OPINION
Conttessa simplifies the management of the content significantly for us. Instead of having to check each Extranet individually and on a regular basis, we now can manage everything with a single tool and automatically get updates if new criteria need to be checked.
