Take control of your listings, reduce fees, and grow your revenue with a customizable direct booking website builder powered by Uplisting.
A direct booking website lets you accept reservations and payments directly from guests without going through online travel agencies (OTAs). For short-term rental managers, this means maintaining full control over your booking process while avoiding commission fees. Your custom website becomes another booking channel alongside platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo, and you can pull in more traffic by being listed on Google.
Our vacation rental website builder automatically imports your listings when you connect your Airbnb account. Photos, descriptions, pricing, and availability sync automatically across channels. The Airbnb direct booking website builder creates mobile-optimized pages for each property, giving your guests a seamless booking experience from their phone or desktop if they book to stay directly.
Through Stripe integration in our short term rental website builder you can process secure payments and offer flexible payment plans. For example, collect a percentage at booking and the remainder closer to check-in. This helps reduce booking friction while maintaining security through features like 3D secure authentication.
Your direct booking short term rental website integrates seamlessly with other rental channels. When a guest books through any platform, your calendar updates automatically across all channels and on your direct booking site, effectively preventing double bookings. You'll manage all reservations, messages, and payments from a single dashboard.
Yes! Given that 90% of Airbnb traffic in January 2020 came from mobile devices, we've optimized every aspect of the rental website builder for mobile users. Pages load quickly, forms are easy to complete on small screens, and the booking process is streamlined for mobile users. We strive to offer the best website builder for short term rentals.
While short-term rental listing sites provide excellent exposure, they charge significant fees. With your own direct booking website for short term rentals, you:
- Save on commission fees (typically 15-20% on OTAs).
- Control the guest experience from start to finish.
- Build direct relationships with guests.
- Set your own policies and payment terms.
- Own your brand and guest data.
Most property managers launch their direct booking website within minutes. You need to connect your Airbnb account, customize your branding, and connect Stripe for payments. Your site automatically optimizes for both desktop and mobile visitors, with no coding required.
Yes! You can personalize your vacation rental direct booking website with a whole range of elements:
- Your domain name
- Custom branding elements
- Flexible payment options
- House rules and policies
- Check-in instructions
- Local area guides

No, we don’t charge any commission or fees for bookings made through your direct booking website. The only fee you’ll pay is from the payment processor.
This sets us apart from many popular Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), who charge significant commission or booking fees. For example, Airbnb typically charges hosts a service fee of around 3% per booking, while Booking.com fees can range from 15-20%, depending on the listing type. Vrbo charges a 5% commission and a 3% processing fee, making direct bookings a far more cost-effective option for property owners.
