Direct bookings for independent property managers
OTAs skim 15–30% of every booking, control your guest relationships, and can downrank your listings overnight. BookingBench gives Hostaway and (soon) Guesty managers a direct channel that actually belongs to you.
The average property does ~$45,000/year. At 15–30% OTA fees, that's $6,750–$13,500 per property, per year, leaving your portfolio.
One platform for your booking website, widgets, analytics, and owner tools. No custom dev, no bolt-ons.
Guests book directly through your PMS — no OTA channel fee layered on top. We sync live availability and pricing from Hostaway so what guests see is what they pay. Checkout happens in your PMS, not another third-party processor. You keep the relationship.
See exactly how dependent you are on OTAs and what they cost you: portfolio and property-level revenue trends, booking source breakdown with estimated OTA fees, best-to-worst property performance, and search traffic tied back to bookings.
A fully SEO-indexed property website on your own domain, designed to compete with Airbnb, Booking.com, and Expedia for your own brand terms. Real URLs, server-side rendering, individual listing pages that can rank. Your listings stop being fuel for OTA SEO and start building your own.
One site for everything, or "fork" into multiple branded sites for different owner groups or brands. Hostaway fully supported today; Guesty, OwnerRez, and Lodgify are next — we’re recruiting design partners on each to build adapters with real portfolios, not guesswork.
Already have a website? Drop in our booking, gallery, featured, or menu widgets with a single script tag — no redesign required.
Built for property managers who are done renting their business from another platform.
No OTA channel fees on direct bookings. No shared infrastructure. No lock-in. Just your brand, your guests, your data.
