First, Hostaway Direct Booking Sites are tailored to the specific needs of vacation rental businesses, so you won’t have to play around with thousands of templates in search of the one that suits your business. In addition, Hostway sites are automatically integrated with our product, so all reservations made through your website will be reflected in your central calendar. Of course, you can also connect sites built elsewhere to Hostaway through our Open API. Finally, Hostaway users can enjoy our website builder free of charge and only pay a nominal processing fee for each direct reservation you get.

There are many great reasons to build your own direct booking or vacation rental website. With a direct booking website of your own, you can accept commission-free bookings and collect all of the profit. In addition, vacation rental booking sites are great marketing platforms to showcase your branding and get travelers familiar with your company. Another benefit is the flexibility of owning the content on your site. You can choose which specific listings to highlight, and offer coupons and promotions.
