Your brand. Your guests. Your revenue.

Your own guest app, in every confirmation email.

A branded guest app for every stay — opened from a link in your confirmation email or a QR in the room, with no App Store and no download. It carries your logo and colours, and handles directions, pre-arrival questions, upgrades and extras before your guests arrive. The direct booking engine behind it is included — no subscription, a flat 1% only when a guest pays you.

What's inside your guest app

Everything your guest needs, from the moment they book.

One link — sent before arrival, on your website, or scanned in the room. Free for every guest, on every plan, with your logo and colours throughout.

  • 📖 Welcome binder — WiFi, check-in, house rules, even a smart-lock code that appears after check-in.
  • 🧾 Find my booking — a short code and their email brings up the stay, even if they lost the link. No password, ever.
  • ⬆️ Upgrades & extra nights — guests price a better room or another night themselves and pay the difference. New revenue, no back-and-forth.
  • 🛍️ Order extras — breakfast, firewood, late checkout, a mid-stay clean — paid on their card, you keep the revenue.
  • 💬 Message you directly — a real chat thread in the app, so arrival questions never turn into phone tag.
  • 🛎️ Requests — housekeeping and questions land straight with your front desk.
  • 🧭 Explore — your attractions, shuttle and local partners, bookable in a tap.
  • 🔔 Push updates — booking confirmed, upgrade paid, or your reply — without them keeping the app open.
  • 📴 Works with no signal — directions, dates and the WiFi code stay on screen even when the valley has no bars.
  • 🤖 AI concierge — answers from your own property info, 24/7 (add-on).

The engine underneath

The direct rate, right where guests are looking.

The app rides on a real booking engine, built around your campground, glamping site, farm-stay or small hotel — not a rigid template you fight with. Bookable straight from your Google Maps pin, the local payment methods your guests trust, taxes handled, payouts straight to your bank.

How it works

01 · Connect

Set rates in a click

A no-code calendar per room type — block dates, set rates, no PMS required.

02 · Sync

Live on the map

Your Google Maps pin links straight to your own booking page — rates and availability come from your live calendar, never a stale copy.

03 · Get paid

Direct to your bank

Guests book with you and pay the way they trust — cards or their local payment methods. Payouts via Stripe, minus a flat 1% — never charged to the guest.

Built for Campgrounds Glamping Farm stays Small hotels Vacation rentals Activities

Outdoor hospitality is our home turf — campsites, glamping and farm-stays work out of the box, with pitch types, hookups and multi-unit groups built in. Run something else? Tell us what kind of place you have and we'll set it up right.

One calendar, no double-bookings

Keep the tools you already use. We stay in sync.

You don't have to move your whole business or log into yet another dashboard. DirectBooking connects to the tools you already run — over real-time API where your channel manager or PMS supports it, and universal two-way iCal everywhere else — so the moment a room, pitch or cabin sells on Airbnb or Booking.com, your DirectBooking availability updates too.

API + two-way iCal

Connect over live API to the systems that speak it, or plain iCal with any calendar on earth. Bookings from anywhere flow into one availability picture.

No double-bookings

Every hold checks live occupancy across all your channels before it confirms, so the same night is never sold twice.

Zero extra admin

No manual calendar to maintain, no copy-pasting dates. Set it once and your direct channel keeps itself honest.

Want to go all-in on direct? Many hosts do — but you're never forced to. Sync means you can start direct without giving anything up.

A genuinely flexible, tailorable platform

Ask for what you need. Our tech team builds it in.

No rigid settings menu to work around — DirectBooking is built to be shaped around your place, not the other way round. If your booking page needs something specific, our tech team builds it in.

No ticket queue, no dev backlog to wait on — just tell our tech team what you need.

Local everywhere you host

Built for how your market actually books.

Guests book differently in Amsterdam, Austin and Auckland — and your booking engine should know it. DirectBooking speaks your guests' currency, payment habits and tax rules out of the box, wherever your place is on the map.

Local payment methods

Guests pay the way they trust — cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay everywhere, plus regional methods like iDEAL, Bancontact, BLIK and SEPA where guests expect them, all through Stripe. Fewer abandoned checkouts, more confirmed stays.

Taxes handled, not spreadsheeted

Prices in your own currency, tax shown inclusive or added at checkout — VAT, GST or sales tax — and local tourist or occupancy tax computed automatically. No spreadsheets, no surprises.

Fast, wherever your guests are

Every checkout runs on a global edge network, served from a datacenter near your guest — sub-100ms fast, with data residency options where local rules ask for it.

A campground in the Baltics, a farm-stay in Tuscany, a cabin in Ontario, a beach stay in Queensland — the checkout feels local to your guests, and the payout lands in your bank.

How we work with Google

Your own calendar, right on the map.

Guests already find you on Google Maps — we make sure that when they do, they can book you directly. DirectBooking links your Google Business Profile to your own booking page and live calendar, so your pin becomes a direct booking channel. And we're teaming up with a specialist partner to bring live room rates into Google's hotel search results as the next step.

Bookable from your pin

Your Google Business Profile links straight to your own checkout — so a guest who finds you on the map books with you, not through an OTA.

Rates straight from your calendar

Every price a guest sees comes from your live calendar, so the rate at discovery matches the rate at checkout — no stale or bait pricing.

A transparent booking path

Guests click through to your own checkout and book directly, with clear pricing and no hidden OTA markup.

Built to Google's standards from day one — accurate published prices, landing pages that match the quoted rate, and listings tied to a verified physical business — so as your rates surface in more of Google's hospitality results, they're ready.

Bookable anywhere your guests find you

Don't wait for traffic — put your checkout where the guests already are.

Your booking page shouldn't be stranded on one website. Drop a single snippet and your live, bookable checkout embeds anywhere — your own site, a regional travel guide, a local tourism page or an influencer's write-up — with real-time rates and no redirect.

One snippet, book anywhere

Copy one line of code and your booking engine appears in-page, auto-sized to fit. No plugins, no developer, no separate login.

Turn guides into your sales force

Let regional guides and creators host your real checkout. A configurable split rewards the publisher via Stripe when a stay is booked — no ad network in the middle.

Always your rate

Every embed pulls the same live price and availability as your own page, so there's no stale pricing and no double-booking wherever a guest books.

Discovery, checkout and the stay itself — all direct, all yours. Reach the guest at the moment they're deciding, not after an OTA has taken its cut.

How our partnership works

We do the heavy lifting. You just say what you want.

Switching platforms shouldn't mean a technical project. Here's the whole thing, start to finish.

01
Say hello

Send us a link to your current website (or just tell us about your place) — no technical setup on your end.

02
We build it

Our tech team builds you a brand-new, mobile-friendly booking page, wired to live rates and your calendar — free.

03
You customize

Tell us how you want pricing, upsells and extras structured. Need something specific? Ask — we build it in.

04
We launch

We link your Google Maps listing and Stripe. You go live, and only pay 1% once a guest actually pays you.

Included free for every host — hosting and updates, for as long as you're on the platform. It only moves to a paid Cloudflare plan if your traffic outgrows the free tier.

A partner, not a landlord

What you keep. What we handle.

Switching to DirectBooking doesn't mean handing over your business.

🔑You keep
  • Your brand, your photos, your voice
  • Your pricing — set it, change it, run promos, anytime
  • Your guest relationship and their data
  • Your payouts, straight to your own Stripe account
🛠️We handle
  • Hosting on a global edge network — your booking page, live and kept up to date
  • Your Google Business Profile — linked, bookable, kept up to date
  • Payments — Stripe Connect, local payment methods, taxes, 1% fee, done
  • Cloudflare setup — do it yourself, or ask us to
Before you switch

Questions independent hosts always ask.

What happens to my current website?

Send us the link — there's a spot for it on the get-started form — and our tech team uses it as a starting point when we build your new booking page, free. No old site? That's fine too, we build from scratch.

Can I leave anytime?

Yes. There's no contract and no lock-in — DirectBooking is pay-as-you-book, a flat 1% only on confirmed bookings. Stop using it whenever you want; you don't owe anything for months you don't take a booking.

Do I lose control of my guest data?

No. Your bookings and guest details stay in your own account — either the central platform or your own Cloudflare database if you go fully independent — and payouts land directly in your own Stripe account. We never sell or share guest data.

Can guests pay the way they're used to?

Yes. Alongside cards, checkout offers the payment methods your guests actually use — Apple Pay and Google Pay everywhere, plus regional methods like iDEAL, Bancontact, BLIK and SEPA where they're the norm — through Stripe. Prices show in your currency with tax handled the way your country expects, and payouts land straight in your own bank account.

What if I need something custom later?

Ask. That's the whole point of working with a tech team instead of off-the-shelf software — if your booking page needs something specific, we build it in.
