Why hosts use PlacePilot
Keep the commission
Booking.com takes about 15% of a booking, and the other booking sites take a similar cut; a guest who books direct keeps it with you.
Your rooms, with photos and prices
Each room or apartment with its photos, beds, what's included and the price.
Found by the guests who come back
Guests who stayed once search your name next year. Your own site should be the first result, with a way to book.
Before a guest books, they check four things
They search your name after finding you on Booking.com
If your own site is missing or slow, they go back and book there.
They look at the rooms
Photos of each room, the beds and the view decide the booking.
They check the price
A price, or a clear way to ask for one, on your own site.
They want to book
A booking button, WhatsApp or a request form, one tap from a phone.

Stays: your questions, answered.
What website does a guesthouse or holiday rental need?
Your rooms with photos, beds and prices, your location and house rules, and a way to book or ask, readable by Google and in your guests' languages.
Can I keep Booking.com and Airbnb?
Yes. They bring new guests. Your own site is where returning guests, and anyone who searches your name, can book direct.
Can I use my channel manager or booking engine?
Yes. Your site links to the booking engine you already use, to WhatsApp or to a request form.
What does the free report check?
How you rank against the places to stay near you, and whether your rooms, prices and booking link are online.
