How much is OTA commission quietly costing you?
Not every booking should be direct — but every repeat guest should. Move a slice of your revenue off the marketplace and the commission you stop paying compounds fast.
Everything you need to take bookings direct.
Your own booking site
A branded, mobile-first booking page per villa — photos, calendar, rates and reviews. Yours, not a marketplace listing buried among a thousand others.
Stripe checkout
Guests pay you directly, card or wallet, with deposits and balance handled. Money lands in your account — no OTA payout delay, no 15–18% cut.
WhatsApp inbound agent
The AI answers enquiries, quotes live availability, and confirms the booking over WhatsApp in the guest's language — around the clock, hands-free.
Guest CRM
Every past guest and enquiry in one place, with win-back flows that pull repeat stays back to direct — the bookings OTAs would otherwise re-charge you for.
Live in days, not a re-platform.
Publish
We spin up your branded booking site and connect Stripe. Your calendar and rates sync from the channels you already run.
Point guests to it
Your booking link goes on your bio, your guest app, your signage and every checkout message. The WhatsApp agent works every enquiry.
Keep the commission
Direct bookings pay 0% OTA fees. The Guest CRM brings repeat guests back to your own site instead of the marketplace.
One flat price. No commission, ever.
