Everything your website does
A list of features tells nobody anything. Here are situations instead: if one of these sentences sounds like you, the answer is underneath.
I answer the same questions three times a day.
Linen, pets, arrival time, wifi, parking: you write it once on your site and in your terms, and the guest has read it before writing to you. Arrival details go out on their own three days before the stay.
I keep my bookings in a notebook.
A planner per lodging, kept up to date by the bookings themselves. You block your own dates there too, and it is readable everywhere — phone included.
I have found out about a double booking on the phone.
Your Airbnb, Booking and Gîtes de France calendars sync both ways. And the database itself refuses two overlapping stays: not a check someone remembered to write, an impossibility.
I chase the deposit for three weeks.
The guest pays by card as they book, and the money lands in YOUR Stripe account. We take no commission and never touch that money.
Someone started paying, then nothing.
You see it: who, which dates, how much. One reminder e-mail goes out in your name, once, with a link to resume at the same price. You can switch it off, and the wording is yours.
I have no idea who is looking at my listing.
A map shows where your visitors are this very minute, and tells you when someone is on the payment page. No IP address recorded, no cookie set.
Someone asks for an invoice and I do not know what to put on it.
Stay invoices and rental contracts issued from the booking, numbered in order, frozen at the moment they are issued. Tourist tax appears on a line of its own.
My regulars still go through the platform.
After their stay they get a message from you, in your name, with your website address. That is where paying commission twice for the same guests stops.
Nobody finds me on Google.
The site is built to be found: readable addresses, structured data, a sitemap, and the engines that accept to be told are told on every change. Not magic, but done properly.
My foreign guests read a machine translation.
Your texts exist in French and English on the same page, written by you. E-mails to the guest follow their language.
I am afraid of being stuck if I do not like it.
Your domain name, if you take one, is yours, not ours. Your content and your bookings export whenever you want, and you can cancel from your own area without calling anyone.
I do not know whether it is worth it.
Each plan shows how many direct nights pay it back, calculated from its real price. The calculator does the sum with your own figures.
None of this is a paid extra: it is what the website does, from day one.
