Currently, the company has around 100 hotels onboard.
Tiger Global partner Alex Cook said: “Selfbook’s secure and easy-to-use plug-and-play software supports multiple payment types and can be customised to meet the unique needs of each hotel, from boutique hotels to global chains.
“We wanted to double down on Selfbook after hearing the excitement from their hotel customers and seeing the continued rapid growth over the past several months. We are excited to continue our partnership with the Selfbook team as they streamline the hotel booking experience.”
