Finnish digital agency for hospitality

φιλοξενία

The Greek art of honouring a stranger as a guest.


You built somewhere worth staying. Let's make it worth finding.

We rebuild the website, the Google listing and the booking path for hotels, restaurants and spas — so more of the guests already searching for you find you, choose you, and book direct, instead of handing 15–25% to a booking platform.

The Ionian coast: sun, sea, whitewashed houses on a cliff

The best places on earth are often the hardest to find online.

In the destinations travellers love most, remarkable hotels and tavernas hide behind ten-year-old websites, unclaimed Google listings and silent social accounts. Guests choose where to stay online, weeks before they arrive. And when the only place they can book you is a platform, that platform keeps 15 to 25 % of every reservation.

We fix that. Not with jargon or dashboards, but with a site as considered as your service, and one you own outright.

What an audit looks like

Presence audit — sample
A seafront hotel · Ionian coast · 12 rooms
Found by guests2 / 10
Invisible on Google Maps.

A guest searching “hotel Sivota” never sees the property, the single largest source of lost direct bookings.

No way to book directly.

Every reservation runs through a platform keeping 18 % commission.

The website fails on phones.

Most travel searches happen on one.

47 reviews, none answered.

To a reader deciding between two hotels, silence looks like indifference.

Every finding ranked, costed and scoped, in plain language. The real audit takes us a few days and costs you nothing.

How it works

Audit

We review everything a guest finds about you today, and show you, free.

Proposal

A fixed scope, a fixed price, and a timeline. No vague retainers.

Build

Weeks, not months. You approve everything before it goes live.

Handover or care

Own it fully, or let us keep it sharp season after season.

Partnership pricing

For the right houses, we take part of our fee in stays, tables and introductions. It keeps us honest: paid partly in your own product, we only win when your visibility does.

Who we are

Finnish engineering. Southern hospitality.

Filoxenia is the hospitality arm of Heimo, a Helsinki software studio. We hold your website to the standard you hold your rooms: fast even on weak hotel Wi-Fi, effortless on a phone, and easy for Google to put in front of the right guests. It's built to still work in five years, in an industry that lives on trust. This very page is the proof — time how fast it loads on your own phone.

We're two people. Nicholas builds the site, gets you found on Google, and shows you in plain numbers what it brings back — a software engineer with a decade spent building and running systems for Finnish companies. Jenna makes the photos and short videos travellers actually trust when they choose where to stay — Miss Interglobal Finland 2026 and Miss World Finland 2026 runner-up, with her work on Instagram, @claudiajennaa.
