Airbnb just made your repeat guests a lot more expensive
Hosts now pay the full 15.5% service fee — including on the guests who found you by name and came back on their own. BookDirectly gives you your own booking site so those stay yours.
We're hosts too — we built this because the fee change hit us the same way it's about to hit you.

Who This Is For
Small hosts who want direct bookings without the overhead
This is a great fit if…
- You own 1–2 properties
- You want more direct bookings
- You don’t want a complicated PMS
- You want something simple that just works
Honestly, probably not if…
No shade — we're just narrow on purpose.
- You’re running 3+ properties
- You’re a property manager or coordinating a team/staff workflow
- You need heavy automation or enterprise-style ops
What We Do
Everything you need for direct bookings — nothing you don't
One focused toolkit for taking bookings on your own site — built for how independent hosts actually work.
Property pages
A branded site for your place — photos, details, FAQs, and a shareable link.
Booking requests
Guests inquire and book through your flow — you stay in control of approvals.
Airbnb calendar sync
Keep availability honest by syncing blocked dates from Airbnb (iCal).
Payments via Stripe
Money lands in your Stripe account — BookDirectly isn’t a middleman on your margin.
Rental agreements
Guests sign digitally before they pay so expectations are clear.
Simple availability management
Block dates and manage what guests can book without a spreadsheet maze.
Why We Built This
Built by Hosts
We own and operate an Airbnb. We know what it's like to answer messages, flip calendars, and still want a clean way for repeat guests to book direct.
The PMS products we tried felt like piloting an airliner for a weekend cabin — powerful, but noisy, expensive, and full of things we'd never touch.
So we built BookDirectly to match how real small hosts operate: simple, direct, and honest about what we do and don't do.
What We're Good At
The stuff we obsess over
Simplicity
Fewer knobs. Fewer tabs. A product you can actually finish setting up.
Direct bookings
Purpose-built for hosts who want their own channel alongside Airbnb.
Clean experience
Guest-facing pages and your dashboard stay readable — no clutter tax.
Focus
We optimize for 1–2 property hosts — not every portfolio edge case.
What We Don't Do
We are not a full property management system
Clear boundaries keep the product simple — for you and for us.
- No support for 3+ properties
- No team/staff workflows
- No complex automation
- No enterprise features
If you need that, a full PMS may be a better fit — and that's okay. We'd rather send you to the right tool than sell you the wrong one.
Pricing

Two straightforward plans — because our whole product is scoped to 1–2 properties.

Need more than two properties? BookDirectly stays intentionally small — a traditional PMS is usually the next step.
Keep it simple. Stay in control.
If you own 1–2 properties and want more direct bookings without complexity, you're in the right place.
