Bookzo: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Bookzo is a reservation system for operators of holiday rentals, hotels and campsites, developed by Bookzo in Oudeschild on Texel. At its core is a planning board showing arrivals, departures and options, where bookings and blocks are created. The software sends confirmations and welcome emails automatically from editable templates, manages accommodations with prices and payment terms, and offers reports exportable to Excel. It connects with accounting software, channel managers and tills. The booking module Bookzo Elements can be embedded in a website. It comes as a desktop and a cloud version.

The company is based in the Netherlands and names no foreign parent company. According to its privacy statement, the reservation system and the personal data in it are stored via Microsoft Azure, a cloud platform of the US company Microsoft. The region is not stated, so ask whether the data stays in the EU; the US CLOUD Act can apply even in an EU region. No self-hosted option is described. Check the Azure region and the legal reach of the US provider.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Bookzo

Bookzo is headquartered in the Netherlands and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Bookzo scores best on data residency.

Bookzo is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Bookzo together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
