Direct Booking Website

A direct booking website is a property manager's own branded website equipped with a booking engine that allows guests to search availability, view pricing, and complete reservations without using an OTA. Direct bookings eliminate commission fees typically ranging from 3% to 15%, increasing net revenue per booking. A well-designed direct booking website also builds brand identity, captures guest data for remarketing, and gives managers full control over the booking experience. Driving traffic to a direct booking site requires investment in SEO, paid advertising, email marketing, and social media. Hostaway provides a built-in website builder and booking engine that integrates with its channel manager, making it straightforward to launch and manage a professional direct booking website.
