Guest House Website
Direct bookings without Booking.com commission
Home - Guest House WebsiteGuest House Website
Every booking through Booking.com or Airbnb costs you 15–18% commission. Your own site plus a Google presence brings some of those bookings straight to you. We build sites for guest houses, rooms for rent and small family hotels — mountain, rural and seaside — with an availability calendar, a gallery, a direct enquiry form and platform sync so you never get a double booking.
Less dependence on Booking.com
Your own site doesn't remove the OTAs — they bring visibility that's hard to replace. But together with a Google Business Profile and a few real reviews, a site usually shifts 20–40% of bookings to direct within 6–12 months. Those are commission-free bookings with direct guest contact before arrival.
What every project includes
Availability calendar with seasonal pricing- Booking.com and Airbnb sync (iCal) so reservations never clash
- Gallery per room/house and an "Around the area" page
- Direct enquiry or booking-request form
- Map with detailed directions, mobile layout, BG + EN
What we need from you
Photos of the rooms and the house
Daytime photos of each room, the common areas, the yard and the view. We help with the selection.
Rates by season
Low, mid and high-season rates, number of beds, minimum stay.
Booking.com / Airbnb access
The iCal links from your listings so we can set up calendar sync.

What's nearby — trails, sights, restaurants, distances. This is why guests pick the area.
Key advantages
- Less commission — direct bookings carry no platform cut
- The calendar is always right — synced with Booking.com and Airbnb
- Found on Google, not only on Booking.com — Google Business Profile and local SEO
- You update rates and photos yourself — no fee for seasonal changes
