BOOKING ENGINE
On your own site, guests see which dates are free and send a booking request by form or WhatsApp. They deal with you directly, with no platform taking 10 to 25%: bookings that come through your site carry 0% commission. This is the part of a short-term rental website that brings in direct bookings.
Think of the booking engine as the front desk of your rental. It knows which nights are free, shows guests what they can book and takes their request. The bigger engines, like those of Booking.com, Airbnb and the channel managers, also take payment online. The rest of the site (photos, description, map) is there to bring the guest to that point: asking to book.
On the sites we build, the engine works by request and doesn't take payments yet (online payment on the site is an extra still in preparation). The availability calendar shows the dates already booked on Booking.com and Airbnb and updates several times a day. The guest picks dates and sends a booking request through the form or on WhatsApp. The request comes straight to you: you confirm the booking and arrange payment with the guest. No platform sits in between, the money never passes through us, and you keep the guest's contact details for their next stay. And we charge no commission on bookings that come through the site (0%).
The right option depends on how many units you run and how many channels you sell on. For one or two units, booking requests with the site calendar are enough. If you already sell on several platforms through a channel manager such as Smoobu, Lodgify or Beds24, we connect the site to it (as an extra). We'll tell you plainly what makes sense in your case.
Booking requests and the availability calendar come with the site on either plan. If you already use a channel manager, we connect the site to it for €149, paid once. The service page lists what's included and what it costs.

They pick free dates on the calendar and send the request through the site's form or on WhatsApp.
The request comes straight to you. You decide whether to accept it and agree the details with the guest.
Payment is between you and the guest, by whatever method you already use. The money never goes through us.
When you accept a direct booking, you close those dates on Booking.com and Airbnb. The site doesn't do it for you.
The site reads the booked dates from Booking.com and Airbnb via iCal several times a day and shows them to guests. There's always some delay: a booking made on a platform can take a few hours to appear on the site.
For now, the site doesn't take payments. Online payment on the site (card and MB WAY, paid into your account) is an extra we're still preparing. Once it's available, the payment processor charges its own fee, which doesn't go to us.
Bookings that come through the site carry 0% commission: we take no share. The guest pays you directly.
iCal is the format Booking.com, Airbnb and Vrbo use to share calendars. On your site, it works like this:
Booking.com and Airbnb each provide an iCal link listing the nights already booked.
The site checks those links several times a day and marks the booked nights on the calendar guests see.
The site doesn't send its own calendar to the platforms. When you accept a direct booking, you block those dates on Booking.com and Airbnb so they can't be sold twice.
iCal isn't instant. Each platform refreshes on its own cycle, so a new booking can take a few hours to show on the site. Before accepting a request, especially for dates coming up soon, check that they're still free. For busy properties with frequent changeovers, a channel manager connected by API shortens that delay, and that's when we recommend one.
Booking platforms charge 10 to 25% on every booking. If the same booking is made on your own site, the commission is 0% and you keep it all: on a €200 booking that moves from Booking.com, that's €30. The savings add up with every direct guest.
The booking data and the guest's email are yours. No platform can change the rules, raise its commission or hide your listing overnight.
With the guest's contact details, you can invite them back, offer a returning-guest rate or send a newsletter.
We charge no commission on bookings from your site: on each direct booking, you keep what the platform would have taken. Pick a plan, enter your property's figures and see the numbers.
Reference value. Booking.com's commission depends on your contract, usually between 10% and 25%. Change it to match yours.
With more than one unit, the multiple-units extra is added (€190, paid once): a page and a calendar for each unit, up to 10.
Start low. It depends on returning guests, on people who find you on Google and on how much you promote the site.
On each direct booking you save €30. In year 1, 12 direct bookings cover €348. From year 2, 12 direct bookings a year cover €348.
compared with Booking.com: we charge no commission
If 20% of your 100 bookings come through the site, that's 20 direct bookings a year.
From year 2, you keep about €252 a year after paying the monthly fees.
The maths: €200 × 15% = €30 for Booking.com. We take 0%, so you save €30 per direct booking.
Reference values. Our prices include VAT and we charge no commission on bookings from your site. Platform commissions vary with each property's contract, and Airbnb adds VAT to its fee if you haven't registered a VAT number. How many bookings move to your site varies from property to property, so treat these numbers as an estimate. We don't guarantee results.
If you run one or two units and sell mostly on Booking.com and your own site, booking requests with the site calendar are enough. If you sell on several platforms and have high occupancy, a channel manager (Smoobu, Lodgify, Hostfully or Beds24) is worth it because it syncs faster. We'll tell you plainly what suits your volume. Booking requests and the calendar come with the site; the channel manager connection is a one-off extra of €149.
No, it works alongside them. The site calendar shows the dates already booked on Booking.com and Airbnb, so you can keep your listings there and, over time, move more bookings to your own site, where the commission is 0% instead of the platform's.
You do, directly. The site takes no payments: the guest sends a request and the two of you arrange payment, with no platform in between. The money never passes through us. And we charge no commission on those bookings (0%).
No. The site reads the Booking.com and Airbnb calendars but doesn't send its own. When you accept a direct booking, you block those dates on the platforms so they can't be sold twice.

More bookings, less commission.
We don't take any share of the bookings that come through your site: guests pay you directly. You stay on Booking.com and Airbnb, and we charge nothing there either.
Online payments (coming soon): if you use them, the fee on each payment goes to the payment processor, not to us. Reference: 1.5% + €0.25 with a European card or MB WAY.
Example: a €200 booking
The Booking.com rate is a reference value (15%); it ranges from 10% to 25% depending on each property's contract.
| Period | Monthly | Buy outright |
|---|---|---|
| To get started | €29 | €390 |
| In year one | €348 | €489 |
| Over 3 years | €1,044 | €687 |
With Monthly there's no setup cost and you pay a little at a time. Buying outright costs more upfront and less from year two. Extras are paid once on either plan.
Paste the link to your Booking.com page and see what your site could look like before you pay anything. Then run the numbers for your property.
We're a company and we work like one. You always know what you pay, who you pay and what you get.
All prices already include VAT. You get an invoice with every payment, with your tax number, ready for your accountant.
Signed before we start: what's included, the deadlines, the minimum term and how to leave.
You pay NossoSite directly, into the company's bank account, never into a personal account.
Buying outright has no lock-in, and on Monthly you can cancel whenever you like after the minimum term. The domain and the data (guest data included) are always yours: we hand over an export of your bookings.
If the site isn't live by the agreed deadline, your first month is on us on Monthly, and your first year of maintenance is on us if you buy outright.
Optional, with VAT included and no lock-in. You pay the ad budget directly to Google and Meta. If your first Season Campaign brings no direct bookings, we refund the management fee.
