A direct booking website for Guesty owners
Keep Guesty for your calendar and prices. Add a booking website that is yours, connected to it.
How it connects
- We connect to Guesty through its Open API, with access you give us from your Guesty account.
- Guesty's calendar gives us, for each day: whether it is available, the price, the minimum stay, and whether it is closed to arrival or departure.
- When a guest books, we check availability with Guesty through its API first, in under half a second.
What stays in Guesty
- Your listings, calendar and prices stay in Guesty.
- Your day-by-day rules, such as minimum stays, stay where you set them.
What you get on your own site
- A custom booking website with your own design and your own address.
- Card payments that cost about 2.9% plus 30 cents, against a booking site's fee of about 15.5% on Airbnb.
- The prices and stay rules from your Guesty calendar, shown to guests on your site.
Who this is not for. If you only need Guesty to run your calendar and you do not need a booking page of your own, you may not need us.

Questions about Guesty
Do I have to leave Guesty?
No. You keep Guesty for your calendar and prices. Your new site sits on top of it, and your guests book on your site.
Do I need a certain Guesty plan?
Check with Guesty whether your plan includes access to its API, because that is how we connect. Ask us if you are not sure, and we will tell you what to look for.
Can two guests book the same dates?
Before a booking is taken, we check availability with Guesty through its API. No system can promise that nothing ever goes wrong, so ask us what is realistic for your setup.
What does Guesty's calendar tell you?
Guesty's own reference says its calendar returns each day's status, price and minimum stay, and flags for closed to arrival and closed to departure. Those are the details a booking site needs to show the right price and accept the right stays.
Ask us what is possible
We can look at how you use Guesty and tell you honestly what your site can do with it. We do not promise results, because nobody honest can.
