Airbnb host fee → 15.5% on September 15, 2026

Your repeat guests just got a lot more expensive

Starting Sep 15, hosts pay the full 15.5% service fee — including guests who already know you and book again by name. BookDirectly gives you a simple booking site so those stays can come straight to you.

We're hosts too. Same fee. Same problem. Narrow tool: Airbnb calendar sync, Stripe, digital agreements. Not a full PMS.

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.
