Keep the margin the OTAs would take.
A booking engine and property website that turn a browse into a booking on your own site. Guests choose their room, pay a deposit and get their confirmation — and the reservation drops onto your calendar with no commission taken out of it.
Book direct in a few taps.
Live availability and your real rates, presented cleanly on any device. A guest picks their dates, chooses a room, pays a deposit and receives their confirmation — and because it is the same inventory as your channels, the room closes everywhere the moment they book.
- Live availability and real rates, mobile-first
- Deposit taken and confirmation sent on the spot
- Books against the same inventory as your OTAs
A site that sells the rooms, not just shows them.
A property website with your photos, your rooms and the booking engine built in, so the path from "this looks lovely" to "we are booked" is one screen, not a phone call. It is your brand, your direct relationship, and every reservation is one you own outright.
- Your rooms, photos and story with booking built in
- One journey from browsing to confirmed
- The guest relationship stays yours, not the OTA’s
Every direct booking is full margin.
No commission, no per-booking cut — a £150 direct stay is £150 in the bank, less only the card fee. Shift a few points of your mix from the OTAs to direct and the difference to a small property over a year is real money, not a rounding error.
- No booking commission on direct reservations
- The full room rate, less only card processing
- Reduce your reliance on OTA channels over time

ExploreDo I really pay no commission on direct bookings?
Correct. Reservations taken through your own booking engine carry no booking commission. The only deduction is the card processing fee, exactly as it would be anywhere.
Will a direct booking cause a clash with the OTAs?
No. Your website books against the same shared inventory as your channels, so a direct reservation closes the room on every OTA at once. Direct and OTA can never both take the last night.
Can I take a deposit at the point of booking?
Yes. The booking engine can take a deposit securely as the guest books, so you have commitment on the reservation before they arrive.
Do I need a separate website builder?
No. The property website with the booking engine built in is part of Stayvieo. You bring your photos and words; the booking path is already there.
What if I already have a website?
You can still use the booking engine on the site you have, so guests book directly without leaving your brand. Talk to us about the best fit for your setup.
