Direct booking for short-term rental hosts
Fairbnb builds you a direct-booking website for your rentals and connects it to every calendar you already use — so guests reserve with you, availability stays in sync, and commission stops eating into each stay.
Keep your marketplace listings. Add a channel you own.
Your brand. Your bookings. Your revenue.
Integrations
Fairbnb reads and publishes calendar feeds, so the availability on your own website matches the availability everywhere else you list. Swap in your own channel logos any time.
The host's position today
Marketplaces are useful for discovery. The problem starts after discovery: the guest belongs to the platform, the rebooking happens on the platform, and a percentage of every stay leaves with the platform.
Every five-star rating comes from your standards, your linens, your late-night message replies.
Guests come back because they loved staying with you — not because of the logo on the checkout page.
Cleaning, maintenance, pricing decisions, local knowledge. All of it sits on your side.
Listing platforms can deduct up to roughly 25% in combined host and guest fees on a reservation, and they keep the guest relationship.
Fairbnb gives you the host-owned alternative: a booking website under your brand, on your domain, synced with the calendars you already run. Keep the marketplaces for reach, and send repeat guests somewhere that costs you nothing per booking.
Features
Calendar synchronization
Connect the calendars you already publish from your listing platforms. Fairbnb merges them into one availability source, then pushes your direct bookings back out so the same dates never sell twice.
Direct reservations
Guests browse your properties, check real availability and reserve in a few steps. You collect the guest details you actually need, and payment status stays visible from request to paid.
Brand & operations
Your domain, your photography, your tone. Fairbnb ships a fast, responsive site designed around the way guests actually decide — then hands you a simple admin to run it.
Portfolio management
One login for the whole portfolio. Compare occupancy, watch which properties convert directly, and see what each channel is really contributing.
How it works
Most setups complete in under a week. Heavier customization or additional channel integrations can extend that — we tell you which before we start.
We map your properties, channels, pricing logic and how you want guests to book.
Your visual identity, photography, copy and property pages are assembled on your domain.
Existing channel calendars are connected and tested against your live availability.
Deposits, full payment or on-arrival settlement — configured to match how you operate.
You walk the whole flow as a guest and as a host, and we adjust what needs adjusting.
The site goes live, and your repeat guests get a direct place to rebook.
Showcase
Screens from a live Fairbnb build. Your site follows your brand and your photography, not a template gallery.
Public site · property discovery
Filterable listings with photography, nightly or hourly rates, capacity and amenities at a glance.
Admin · bookings and refunds
Every reservation with its guest, dates, payment method and booking status, managed from one table.
Admin · property management
Add and edit properties, set pricing and availability, and publish changes straight to the live site.
A direct reservation carries no marketplace commission. Payment processing costs stay, the platform percentage does not.
Contact details, stay history and repeat bookings live in your account — not behind a platform inbox.
One calendar, one admin, one place to check tonight's arrivals across every property you manage.
Comparison
Marketplaces still do reach well. This is about what you keep once the guest already knows you.

Commercials
Fairbnb is a one-time website setup and customization fee, with optional ongoing plans. We quote after discovery, because scope depends on your properties and integrations — never a percentage of what you earn.
