Booking and Airbnb alternative.

Another platform isn't an alternative

There are smaller platforms or ones with lower commission, and adding them helps you not depend on one. But they're still someone else's: they set the rules, the ranking and own the contact with the guest. The real alternative is having part of your bookings come through a channel you control.

The three pieces

• A fast website with booking and payment that shows up on Google
• Your Google profile with free booking links, which show your site as “Official site” next to the price
• The details of guests who already came, so next time they book direct

Booking and Airbnb stay, as a complement

We don't suggest leaving the platforms: they bring people who don't know you. The idea is that they don't fill everything. Each booking that moves from a platform to your site is commission you don't pay and a guest who stays with you.

Why we do it

We're from El Chaltén, a town where almost every bed is sold through foreign platforms. We believe in a fair market, where a hotel can compete with its own website. We build those sites, the SEO and the photos to make that work.
