Direct Bookings

0% commission
Built-in booking engine
Synced with OTAs
Own your guests

Every booking through an OTA comes with a fee and a guest relationship the platform owns. Over a year, those commissions add up to real money — and you never get to talk to your guests directly.

GoHosty gives you a direct channel that costs no commission. List on the OTAs to get discovered, then convert repeat and referral guests to your own site where you keep everything.

Frequently asked questions

How do I take direct bookings without commission?+
GoHosty includes a branded direct-booking website with its own booking engine. Guests reserve and pay through your site, so you keep 100% of the revenue with no OTA commission — while availability stays synced with Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com.
Will direct bookings cause double bookings?+
No. Your direct site shares the same calendar as your OTA channels, so a direct reservation instantly blocks those dates on Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com, and vice versa.
Do I need a separate website builder?+
No. The booking site is built into GoHosty, so you don't have to buy or maintain a separate website tool — it's included and connected to your live availability and pricing.
Why take direct bookings at all?+
OTAs charge guests and hosts fees on every stay and own the guest relationship. A direct channel lets you keep more revenue, build repeat guests, and reduce dependence on any single platform.
