OTA commissions are eating your profits.
Every booking through Airbnb costs you 3–5% in host fees. Booking.com takes 15–20%. VRBO charges 5%. For a $200/night property booked 20 nights a month, that's $600–800/month going to OTAs.
You've built relationships with returning guests, established your brand, maybe even have a website — but without a proper booking engine, you're sending guests back to OTAs to book (and pay commission).
Standalone direct booking solutions exist, but they cost $30–60/month on top of your PMS. And they require separate calendar management, separate guest communication, and separate payment processing.

A projection, not a promise. Real results depend on your mix, region, and how aggressively you promote direct booking.
Your own booking engine, zero extra cost.
SympleHost's Direct Booking Engine lets guests book your properties directly — through embeddable widgets on your website or dedicated booking pages. Guests see real-time availability, select dates, and pay securely through Stripe or HitPay.
Every direct booking flows into the same system as your OTA bookings. Same calendar, same inbox, same guest profiles, same operations workflow. There's nothing extra to set up or manage.
Accept payments in multiple currencies, offer special direct-booking rates, and build a repeat guest base — all without paying OTA commissions.
What it does.
Stripe & HitPay payments
Accept credit cards, bank transfers, and local payment methods through Stripe and HitPay. Multi-currency support built in.
Guest-facing property pages
Each property gets a dedicated booking page with photos, descriptions, amenities, and real-time availability.
Multi-currency support
Price in your local currency or your guest's preferred currency. Payment processing handles conversion automatically.
Custom booking flow
Guide guests through a branded booking experience — property selection, date picking, guest details, and secure payment.
Booking confirmation & comms
Guests receive instant booking confirmation. All communication flows through the unified inbox. Amy AI can handle pre-arrival questions automatically.
Direct bookings that actually work.
The problem with standalone booking engines (Lodgify, Boostly) is that they create a parallel system. You end up managing two calendars, two inboxes, two guest databases. SympleHost's Direct Booking Engine is native to the platform:
- Calendar syncs instantly — no double-booking risk with OTA bookings
- Inbox handles direct booking guests the same as OTA guests
- Amy AI answers questions from direct booking guests
- Operations auto-triggers tasks for direct bookings
- Guest profiles are unified — whether a guest books on Airbnb or directly
- Analytics tracks direct vs. OTA revenue side by side
One system. Zero duplication. And no separate booking engine subscription — it's included in your SympleHost plan.
