The real cost of platforms
Airbnb charges about 3% to hosts and up to 14% to guests. Booking.com charges between 15% and 20% commission. For a property at €100/night rented 200 nights/year, that's €3,000 to €4,000 lost in fees.
The solution: direct booking
Direct booking means receiving reservations through your own website with no middleman. Guests pay less, and you keep 100% of the listed price.
How to set up direct booking?
1. Create your mini site — With CapDirect, your page is live in 2 minutes with photos, description, calendar and contact form.
2. Sync your calendars — Connect your Airbnb and Booking calendars via iCal to prevent double bookings.
3. Share your link — Send your CapDirect link to past guests, add it to social media and your listings.
Real results
A host with 2 properties at €120/night who converts 30% of bookings to direct saves around €5,400/year. ROI is immediate.
