Before anything else

This won't get you found on Google. That's not its job.

A brand new page isn't going to outrank Airbnb or Booking.com when a stranger searches “cottage in Kerry.” What it gives you is somewhere of your own to send people, instead of routing every one of them through Airbnb and being charged for it.

You're already doing this work
  • A friend or past guest refers someone to you
  • A guest who stayed before wants to book again
  • You post the link in a local Facebook or WhatsApp group
  • You run an ad, or pay to boost a post
  • A guest asks, “have you got your own website?”
Sent to Airbnb

You did the work of finding the guest. Airbnb still takes its 15.5% for landing the booking.

Sent to your own website

Same guest, same work on your part. This time, the booking comes straight to you and you keep the lot.

The bit that adds up

Every booking through Airbnb costs you before it even starts.

Say you rent your place for ten weeks over the summer at €1,000 a week, a fairly ordinary season. That's €10,000 in bookings. Send all of that through Airbnb and a typical 15.5% commission means €1,550 of it never reaches you, gone before you've paid for a single clean, a tank of oil, or anything else. Once a guest has stayed with you and knows how to reach you, there's no reason they should ever have to book you through Airbnb again.

How it works

Four steps, and you only do the first one.

You don't build anything or learn any software. You give us your listing, we do the rest.

1

Paste your link

Drop in your Airbnb or Booking.com listing link. We pull your photos, description and details straight from it.

You do this bit
2

We build your site

A professional one-page website with your photos, your rates, your rules and an enquiry form, ready in under a minute.

3

Guests book you direct

Use the link wherever you already send people: Facebook groups, your Airbnb bio, a text to a returning guest. They enquire straight to you.

4

We look after them

Once a guest books, an optional Guest Platform answers their questions, offers a welcome hamper, and flags problems before they become a bad review.

How a booking actually happens

Real availability, no double bookings, and we never touch your money.

Your website isn't a separate calendar you have to manage. It stays in sync with the ones you already use.

1

Calendars sync automatically

Your site links to your Airbnb and Booking.com calendars both ways, so it always shows what's actually free. No double bookings.

2

Guest checks dates and price

They pick their dates on your site and see exactly what it costs, no guessing and no back-and-forth messages.

3

They submit a booking

It comes straight to you, the host, not to us. You're the one who decides whether to accept it.

4

You confirm and get paid

You reply to the guest to confirm and send them a payment link, however you already take payment. We never go near your money, and never take a commission.

Side by side

The difference is who the guest sees.

Before you ask

The questions people usually have.

Not really, and that's not really the point of it. A brand new page isn't going to outrank Airbnb or Booking.com when a stranger searches for a cottage in your area. What it gives you is somewhere of your own to send the traffic you already generate, so you're not paying commission on the work you're already doing.

Yes, and you don't need any tech skills. Fill in a plain-English form describing what you want changed, a new photo, an updated rate, an extra house rule, and it's made for you automatically, usually within moments.

No. Your site's calendar syncs automatically with your Airbnb and Booking.com calendars, both ways, so it always shows what's genuinely free. The moment a date is booked anywhere, it's blocked everywhere else.

No, never. A guest submits a booking through your site and it comes straight to you. You confirm with the guest and send them a payment link yourself, however you already take payment. We're never in the middle of your money, and we never take a commission.

No. Keep it exactly as it is. Your ILYAN website works alongside it, it's just somewhere else to send guests who don't need to go through Airbnb to book you.
