Direct-booking websites for SA guesthouses

Stop paying 15% commission to Booking.com on every repeat guest and referral. We build fast, mobile-first websites with rooms, rates, galleries, and WhatsApp booking requests — live in one weekend.

Professional guesthouse website with direct booking
The Real Cost

Booking.com is not your partner. It's your landlord.

15% commission on every booking — including repeat guests who were coming anyway. For a guesthouse doing R40k/month, that's R72,000 a year. A direct site recovers 20-40% of that.

Calculate your commission loss

Booking.com commission (15% per month)-R6,000
Annual commission paid-R72,000
Bookings recoverable via direct site (30%)+R1,800
Estimated annual saving+R21,600

Keep Booking.com for discovery — recover what was already yours.
