Give repeat guests somewhere to book you directly
The guest who loved it last year is paying a platform fee to come back.
Past guests are the cheapest bookings you will ever get. They already trust you. What they need is an address to send to a friend and a calendar that is actually right.
A booking site is not a marketing channel on its own; nobody finds it by accident. It is where the people who already know you go.
In Rentalhand
- Your own booking site, built from your photos and rules, is part of Pro ($19 a month per short-term rental).
- The calendar stays in step with Airbnb, so a direct booking blocks the dates everywhere.
- Guests pay by card into your own Stripe account; ask-first or instant, your choice, with an ID check before accepting if you want one.
