What you can control via the API

Score: 9 of 9 (Best-in-class). Weight 14%.

First scorer rationale: Full CRUD confirmed: reservations (create/cancel/check-in/checkout), room status, contacts, products, invoices, CashMaster invoicing, key-card linking. Covers folio, housekeeping, and reservations — clears the compound anchor_9.

Real-time updates and webhooks

Score: 9 of 9 (Best-in-class). Weight 13%.

First scorer rationale: Self-service webhook management via API (Add/List/Update/Remove endpoints), not support-configured. Multiple event types (reservation create/cancel, contact changes, room status). Per-webhook basic auth.

Readiness for AI agents

Score: 3 of 9 (Limited). Weight 12%.

First scorer rationale: REST + JSON only, hand-written documentation, no OpenAPI/Swagger spec, no GraphQL, no agent-specific surface.

Data model and multi-property design

Score: 3 of 9 (Limited). Weight 10%.

First scorer rationale: Centralised guest profile and reservation hierarchy confirmed. Multi-property support claimed only on a third-party review aggregator, not in ibelsa's own documentation — not readily available from primary source, scores per absence.

  • Centralised guest profile and reservation hierarchy confirmed in primary docs; multi-property claims not confirmed in first-party sources. https://rooms.ibelsa.com/api/doc

Developer tooling and sandbox

Score: 6 of 9 (Adequate). Weight 10%.

First scorer rationale: API key creation is self-service via the "my Hotel" area, no gating or support approval required — unlike NewBook/eZee's gated sandboxes. Active documentation platform with curl examples. No official SDK found.

Uptime and operational discipline

Score: 3 of 9 (Limited). Weight 9%.

First scorer rationale: ibelsa-status.com is live (Instatus-hosted), with real incident history and detail pages. No published SLA percentage.

  • Public status page (ibelsa-status.com, Instatus-hosted) with real incident history and detail pages. No published SLA percentage. https://ibelsa-status.com/en

Security, authentication, and compliance

Score: 3 of 9 (Limited). Weight 8%.

First scorer rationale: Hotel-specific API key plus optional partner system key; per-webhook basic auth. No OAuth2 flow.

Partner programme and references

Score: 3 of 9 (Limited). Weight 7%.

First scorer rationale: Integration partnerships exist and are listed, but no self-serve partner programme, published tiers, forum, or certified-partner directory found.

Documentation and changelog discipline

Score: 3 of 9 (Limited). Weight 7%.

First scorer rationale: Comprehensive and structured documentation confirmed, but most recent changelog entry is dated 20 March 2024 — approximately 21 months stale against today. Not actively maintained within a recent window, capping below the top anchor despite otherwise complete coverage.

Scores are published only where documented evidence exists. Corrections and disputes are recorded in the public changelog. The scoring rubric is published in full in the methodology.
