Booking Engine
Get direct booking requests on your site, by form or WhatsApp, with an availability calendar showing the dates already booked on Booking.com and Airbnb. It's included in the site on either plan, and bookings that come through the site carry 0% commission.
What we do
Availability calendar
The site calendar shows the dates already booked on Booking.com and Airbnb and updates several times a day, with a delay of a few hours. When you accept a direct booking, you close those dates on the platforms.
Booking requests and WhatsApp
Guests pick their dates and send the request on the site or on WhatsApp. You confirm the booking and arrange payment directly with them, with no platform in between.
Channel manager connection
Smoobu, Lodgify, Beds24 or another: if you already use one, we connect the site to it as a €149 one-off extra. If you don't, we'll tell you whether it's worth it for your volume.
0% instead of 15%
We charge no commission on bookings that come through the site: the guest pays you directly. Booking.com's reference commission is 15%.
What you get
- Booking requests on the site, by form and WhatsApp (or through your channel manager's widget, with the extra)
- Calendar with the dates booked on Booking.com and Airbnb, read via iCal
- Property page with gallery and calendar
- Bookings managed in your channel manager (with the connection extra)
Frequently asked questions
Is it worth it if I'm already on Booking.com?
Yes. Booking.com charges 10% to 25% commission, depending on your contract. For example, on a €200 booking at 15%, Booking.com keeps €30; if the same booking comes through your site, the commission is 0% and you keep the €30. Booking.com keeps bringing you new guests, and your site is for people who already know you or find you on Google.
Which channel manager do you recommend?
Smoobu for 1 to 3 units, Lodgify or Hostfully as you grow, and Beds24 for larger operations.
Who keeps the guest data?
You do. A direct booking means a direct relationship with the guest, so you can contact them later with offers for returning guests or a newsletter.
