For Airbnb & short-term rental hosts

Direct bookings that don’t depend on Airbnb.

Boostly builds you your own booking website and does the marketing to fill it, so guests book your short-term rental directly with you, not through Airbnb. You keep the commission you’d lose to the platforms, you get every guest’s contact details, and they book with you again next time.

The real problem

The problem was never Airbnb. It’s relying on it.

During the pandemic, Airbnb switched thousands of hosts off overnight, bookings cancelled, businesses frozen, no say in it. Hosts get suspended in peak season with no explanation. The fee climbs. The rules change. When every booking lives on someone else’s platform, they’re in charge, not you.

You own the property. You should own the bookings too.

Relying on Airbnb & Booking.com

  • Pay ~15% commission on every booking, even repeat guests
  • You never get the guest’s email or phone number
  • One policy change or suspension from chaos

Owning your bookings

  • Keep the full booking value, and the repeat stays
  • You get every guest’s details, so you can rebook them
  • A booking channel that’s yours for good

Run the maths

Airbnb takes more from you every year than Boostly costs.

Most operators never run the numbers. When you do, $297/month stops looking like a cost, and starts looking like the cheapest money you spend all year.

Staying dependent on Airbnb

~$18,000/yr

An operator doing $120k/yr in bookings hands Airbnb ~15%, roughly $18,000 every year, on guests you never get to keep.

  • × Charged again every time they rebook
  • × No guest data, no repeat-booking engine
  • × One suspension from losing the lot

With Boostly

$3,564/yr

$297/month, everything in. Win back even 1 in 5 of those bookings direct and you’re miles ahead, and you keep the guest for next time.

  • Keep the commission you’d have lost
  • Keep each guest’s details and rebook them directly
  • A channel no platform can switch off

Your numbers will differ, but the commission you pay the platforms almost always dwarfs the subscription. Boostly costs less than the commission on a single good month.

The part everyone gets stuck on

“But how will guests find my own site?”

It’s the real reason most hosts never go direct: a booking website is useless if no one visits it, and you can’t out-spend Airbnb on Google. So Boostly isn’t just a website. It also does the marketing that gets guests onto your site and booking.

Show up on Google

Your pages are built to show up on Google when guests search for a place to stay, so they find you, not just your Airbnb listing.

Bring guests back

Automatic emails bring past guests back to book again directly, even the ones who first found you on Airbnb.

Show up on social

A social planner + AI posts keep you visible without the daily grind.

Coaching that works

Two live calls a week + 1,000+ hosts, so you’re never doing it alone.

Stripe handles the payment. Your booking software handles availability. Boostly builds the site and brings the traffic. Guests pay you directly, money lands in your bank.

FAQ

The questions hosts actually ask.

How will guests actually find my site?+

That’s the whole point of Boostly. Your site is built to show up on Google, and you get email, social and AI-content tools to bring guests to it, plus coaching on how to use them. Boostly actively markets your site for you, it isn’t just a page that sits there.

Is there a setup fee?+

No. No $4,000 cheque, no big upfront build cost. It’s $0 today, then $297/month, everything included. Cancel anytime.

Do I need to be technical?+

No. Boostly builds the site for you and you get coaching + support. If you can run an Airbnb listing, you can run this.

Couldn’t I just build a site myself for cheap?+

You can build a page for a few hundred pounds, but a page isn’t bookings. The value here is the marketing system that drives traffic and rebooks guests, done for you, with people to call when you’re stuck.

How do guests pay, and what about deposits?+

Guests pay by card/Apple Pay/Google Pay through your own Stripe, money goes straight to your bank, Boostly never holds it. You set your own deposit and cancellation rules.

How does the free trial & billing work?+

Full access for 14 days, $0 today. Add a card so it flows into your subscription if you continue; billing starts at $297/month on day 15. Cancel anytime before then and pay nothing.

Is $297/month all I pay to Boostly?+

Yes, that’s the Boostly Scale subscription. You’ll have the usual third-party essentials (domain, your booking software, Stripe fees), but Boostly itself is $297/month, no setup fee.

Stop renting your business from Airbnb.

Every week you wait, your best guests rebook through someone else’s platform, and you pay the fee again. Start owning those bookings today.
