A website for apartments with online booking
Apartment owners usually pay booking portals a commission somewhere in the teens (percent) on every reservation. Your own website with a date search and a channel manager lets you take bookings directly, while one calendar serves every channel. Below is a working demo of a site like that: pick your dates and check availability.

What a website like this should have
- Date search on the first screen
- Guests check availability without leaving the page.
- Channel manager
- Booking.com, Airbnb and your website share one calendar. Dates booked in one place disappear from the others right away.
- Online payments and deposits
- Przelewy24 or Stripe, with the confirmation and directions sent automatically.
- Language versions
- Guests from abroad book more readily when they can read in their own language.
- Data for Google
- Property type, address, ratings and photos in the format Google shows in search results.
- Guest guide
- The neighborhood, restaurants, how to get there. Fewer phone calls and better reviews.
Frequently asked questions
Will the website replace Booking.com?
No, it will complement it. Portals give you reach, and your own website lets you welcome returning guests with no commission. Both channels use one calendar.
Which booking system do you recommend?
For apartments in Poland, most often Hotres, which combines a channel manager and a booking engine. I have also handled a switch from iDoBooking.
How long does it take?
A website with bookings takes about 3 weeks, including connecting the channel manager and testing the sync.
