The leak
OTAs are quietly
taxing your dream.
Booking platforms charge 15–25%of every reservation. That's money you already earned — leaking away, booking after booking, while they own the guest relationship you built.
A BookingVibe site turns those OTA guests into your guests: they find you on Google or ask an AI for “the best villa near the beach” — and land on your front door.
“That's not a marketing expense.
That's a new pool — every single year.”

Where your guests book today
You pay ~3% · Guests pay ~14%
You hand OTAs, every year
$9,504
That's $7 skimmed off every single night — for a guest who would have loved to book with you directly.
The direct-booking win–win zone
Set your direct rate anywhere from $213 to $251: guests still pay less than Airbnb, you still net more than Airbnb. Both of you win.
A balanced starting point $232
The BookingVibe standard
Everything a booking site needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
SEO + AI search, engineered in
Found on Google. Recommended by AI.
Guests increasingly ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity where to stay. We structure your site — rich lodging schema, answer-ready content, lightning Core Web Vitals, llms.txt — so search engines rank it and AI assistants quote it by name.
Next.js on the edge
Sub-second, everywhere
Every extra second of load time costs you bookings. Ours barely use one.
Edge-rendered in 300+ cities, close to every guest
Direct booking engine
Instant bookings, powered by channel management
By default your site takes reservation requests and you confirm them by email — no double-booking risk, no extra setup. Connect channel management and the booking engine switches on: guests see live availability and book instantly in one flow, on your domain.
Calendar sync via your channel manager — optional add-on
Security by subtraction
Bank-grade, plugin-free
No plugin attack surface. No theme bloat. OWASP-hardened Next.js, PCI-compliant payments through your own processor, automated backups.
0 plugins
0 known vulnerabilities to patch at 2am
Multilingual
Every guest's language
Professionally translated pages with per-locale SEO.
Owner dashboard
Your whole business, one calm screen
Bookings, revenue, occupancy and guest messages — plus simple analytics that show exactly where every direct booking came from. No PhD in Google Analytics required.
Proof, not promises
Perfect scores aren't a goal.
They're the baseline.
Google rewards speed. Guests reward beauty. AI rewards structure. A BookingVibe site is engineered to win all three — and we hold every launch to a non-negotiable performance budget.

Our line in the sand
We don't do
WordPressever.
Every BookingVibe site is built on Next.js— the same framework trusted by the world's fastest companies. Written for your property, your guests, your brand. Nothing recycled, nothing rented.
The plugin tax
The average WordPress site runs 20+ plugins — each one a liability, a slowdown, and a door left unlocked. WordPress is the most-attacked CMS on earth for a reason.
The bloat
Page builders ship megabytes of code your guests never asked for. On hotel Wi-Fi or a beachside 4G connection, that weight costs you the booking.
The treadmill
Update the theme, break the checkout. Patch the plugin, break the theme. Your website should be an asset — not a subscription to anxiety.
The craft
Senior craft.
AI speed. Human judgment.
Our senior engineers have mastered what makes the web fast, secure and enduring — and lead every BookingVibe build, amplified by AI that lets a small senior team out-ship agencies ten times our size.
AI accelerates. Humans decide.
We use AI pair-programmers to move at startup speed — scaffolding, tests, boilerplate. Architecture, security and every final decision belong to a human.
Every build reviewed
No site ships that our senior engineers haven't reviewed. AI writes the draft; senior engineering writes the verdict.
Built to outlast trends
Frameworks fashion changes; fundamentals don't. Clean architecture, strict performance budgets, boring reliability — sites that still feel fast in a decade.
Real workflow: AI drafts → senior review → performance budget check → ship
The journey
First call to first booking
in six weeks or less.
Week 1
Discover
A deep-dive call about your property, your guests and your story. We audit your current presence and map exactly where bookings are leaking.
Weeks 2–3

A bespoke design that feels like your place looks — real mockups, never templates. You review, we refine, until it gives you goosebumps.
Weeks 3–5
Build
Next.js development: the reservation flow, multilingual content, and the full SEO + AI-search wiring. Online payments and channel management are wired as optional add-ons. Tested to perfection.
Week 6+
Launch & grow
Deployed to the edge, monitored around the clock. We watch the analytics with you and keep tuning as the direct bookings roll in.
From the shoreline
Owners who took their
bookings back.
“Six months after launch, 61% of our bookings come direct. We stopped paying five figures a year in commissions — the site paid for itself before high season even started.”
Marisol Vega
Owner, Casa Maré · 8-suite villa, Tulum
“A guest told me ChatGPT recommended us by name. I laughed — then I checked our analytics. AI-referred bookings are now our fastest-growing channel.”
Jonas Lindqvist
Host, Fjordlight Cabins · 4 cabins, Lofoten
“Our old WordPress site took nine seconds to load and got hacked twice. The new one loads before you finish blinking — and I haven't thought about 'updates' in a year.”
Amara Osei
Director, The Palm Court · 12-room guesthouse, Accra

Requires the care plan — model costs are covered inside it
Add AI ConciergeChannel management
Connect your site to your own channel manager (for example Beds24) so Airbnb, Booking.com and more share one live calendar.
Plus your Beds24 subscription — billed directly to you
Add channel syncOnline payments
Card payments through your own processor — Stripe where available, Omise in Thailand, PowerTranz across Latin America & the Caribbean — in the currencies your processor supports.
We integrate; you process — and keep every cent
Add paymentsCare & Growth Plan
Hosting on the Cloudflare edge, monitoring, backups, content tweaks and a monthly growth report. Required while channel, payments or AI Concierge are active; optional otherwise.
Cancel anytime — the site is yours regardless
Add careChannel + payments combinedfrom $3,200
not the sum of the two
When channel management and online payments run together, every payment reconciles against your live calendar — including the case where payment succeeds but the booking doesn't confirm. That work only exists when the two are combined, so it's priced there, not hidden in either card.
Channel, payment and AI Concierge integrations require the care plan (from $95/month) for as long as they're active — hosting, monitoring and maintenance included.
