The problem

Booking.com and Airbnb take 15–20% of every booking. You do all the work.

Commission drain

Every time a guest pays €100, Booking.com takes up to €20 before you see a cent. Over a season, that's the cost of a new bathroom — gone to a platform that doesn't know your name.

No guest relationships

OTAs own the guest data. You can't email them, build loyalty, or encourage direct rebookings. Every guest is rented, not earned.

Overbuilt alternatives

Systems like Cloudbeds or Lodgify cost €100+/month and are built for hotel chains with front desks and staff. You need 10% of their features but pay 100% of their price.

What if your guests could book with you directly?

What our hosts say

We switched from Booking.com for 60% of our bookings. In three months, we saved over €4,000 in commissions. The booking site looks more professional than what we had before.

I was terrified of technology. My daughter set this up for me in an afternoon. Now I manage my own bookings and my guests can pay directly. I wish I'd done this years ago.

The iCal sync alone is worth it. No more double-bookings between Airbnb and our direct site. And the self check-in feature saved us hours of paperwork every week.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes! Our Free plan lets you list one room type with a fully functional booking engine, Stripe payments, iCal sync, and a subdomain — no credit card required. You only pay a 3% booking fee on completed reservations.
On the Free plan, we charge 3% per booking. The Starter plan reduces this to 1.5%, and the Professional plan eliminates it entirely (0%). Stripe charges its standard card processing fee (1.5% + €0.25 in Europe) on all plans — this goes to Stripe, not to us.
Not at all. BookNow.Direct works alongside your OTA listings. Your calendars sync automatically, so you'll never get double-booked. Every direct booking simply means one less commission payment.
Absolutely. All plans include iCal sync, which keeps your availability in sync across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, and any other platform that supports iCal. No more double-bookings.
Most property owners have their booking site live in under 30 minutes. Just add your property details, upload photos, connect Stripe for payments, and you're ready to accept bookings.
Not at all. BookNow.Direct is designed for property owners, not developers. If you can use email, you can set up your booking site. We also provide step-by-step guides and email support.
Yes — custom domains with free SSL are included on the Starter and Professional plans. On the Free plan, your site lives on a subdomain like yourname.booknow.direct.
We integrate with Stripe, so your guests can pay with credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other local payment methods depending on your region. Funds go directly to your Stripe account.
Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your plan at any time — no long-term contracts, no cancellation fees. If you downgrade, you keep access to your current plan until the end of the billing period.
