BOOKING.COM AND AIRBNB ALTERNATIVE
More direct bookings,
fewer commissions.
Booking.com and Airbnb bring you guests, but keep 15% to 20% of every booking. With Hostli your hotel gets its own website and booking engine, so more and more guests book directly with you.
IT'S NOT ABOUT LEAVING BOOKING.COM
Use OTAs to get discovered. Win the direct booking.
Booking.com and Airbnb are good channels for new guests to find you. Hostli doesn't replace them, it complements them: your calendar syncs with them, and every returning guest, every Google search and every social media visitor can book directly on your site, with no middleman commission.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Do I have to stop using Booking.com or Airbnb?
No. Hostli works alongside OTAs: keep getting bookings through them and add direct bookings on your own site, all in one calendar.
How do I avoid double bookings between Booking.com, Airbnb and my site?
Your Hostli calendar syncs with Booking.com, Airbnb and Google Calendar via iCal. Dates booked on one channel are blocked on the others.
How much does each direct booking cost?
Between 0% and 3.5% per booking: 0% when the guest pays at the property and up to 3.5% when they pay online by card. OTAs usually charge 15% to 20%.
How do guests end up booking direct?
Through your own domain: from Google, your social media, WhatsApp or returning guests. They can all book on your site without a middleman.
Can I take online payments?
Yes. Guests can pay by card at booking, at the property, or both. You choose the policy.
