How hosts launch a direct booking site in 30 seconds
The whole point of BookBnB is that you should not need a web designer, a booking engine subscription and a fortnight of evenings to stop paying 15% Airbnb fees on every single reservation you take. Four short steps take you from a listing link to a live site that accepts card payments from your guests.
- STEP 01
Paste your Airbnb link
Copy the address of your live listing and drop it into the box at the top of this page. There is nothing to install, no card to enter and no import spreadsheet to fill in before you can see the result.
- STEP 02
We import the whole listing
Photos, description, amenities, bedrooms, guest capacity, house rules and your current nightly rate are pulled across and arranged into a booking page that has been designed specifically for UK short-term rental properties.
- STEP 03
Review and publish in 30 seconds
Check the wording, choose your subdomain and publish. Your direct booking site is live immediately, works beautifully on phones, and can be shared in your welcome book, email signature and social profiles the same afternoon.
- STEP 04
Take commission-free bookings
Guests choose their dates, pay securely by card and receive an instant confirmation. You keep the full nightly rate, own the guest relationship and can invite that guest back next year without paying anyone a fee to reach them.
Why UK hosts move their repeat guests to direct booking
A guest who has already stayed with you, loved the place and left a five star review is the most valuable booking you will ever take, and paying a platform commission to reach that same guest a second time is money that could be funding a new hot tub, a professional photography session or simply a better margin on a quiet February week. When those guests book direct through your own site you keep the whole nightly rate, you set your own cancellation terms and you build an email list that belongs to your business rather than to a marketplace.
Direct booking also changes the conversation you have with guests before they arrive, because you are speaking to them through your own inbox rather than through a messaging system that hides contact details and rewrites your links. You can offer a midweek discount to a returning family, add a late checkout for an anniversary stay, or sell a hamper and a dog-friendly package as an extra on the checkout page, none of which is straightforward when a platform sits between you and the person staying in your property.
None of this means abandoning the channels that already work for you. Most BookBnB hosts keep their Airbnb listing live for discovery and use their direct booking site for repeat guests, local word of mouth and the traffic that arrives from Instagram, Facebook groups and their own printed welcome book, which is usually enough to shift a meaningful share of the year away from commission entirely.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does it really take to launch a direct booking site?
- Most hosts are live in under a minute. You paste your Airbnb link, BookBnB imports your photos, amenities, sleeping arrangements, house rules and nightly rate, and then publishes a complete direct booking website on your own subdomain straight away. If you want to tidy the wording or swap a hero photo afterwards, you can edit everything from the host dashboard whenever it suits you.
- Do I have to stop using Airbnb to launch a BookBnB site?
- Not at all, and we would not recommend it in your first season. Your Airbnb listing stays exactly where it is, and your BookBnB direct booking site simply gives returning guests, Instagram followers and local enquiries somewhere to book without paying the platform service fee on top of your nightly rate.
- How do guests pay for a direct booking, and when do I receive the money?
- Guests pay by card through Stripe on your own booking page, and the money is settled directly into your bank account on Stripe's normal payout schedule. BookBnB never holds your guest payments, and there is no commission taken from the nightly rate you charge.
- Will my calendar stay in sync so I never take a double booking?
- Yes. You paste the iCal export link from Airbnb once, and BookBnB reads it on a schedule so that blocked dates and existing reservations are unavailable on your direct booking site. Bookings taken through BookBnB are published back out as an iCal feed you can subscribe to from any other channel you use.
- Can I use my own domain name instead of a BookBnB subdomain?
- You can. Every host starts on a free subdomain such as yourcottage.bookbnb.co.uk, and you can connect a domain you already own at any point from the dashboard by adding two DNS records that we check automatically for you.
