For shortlet & apartment hosts 🏠

Your shortlet deserves a booking page of its own.

You take bookings on WhatsApp and Instagram everyday. Give those guests a proper booking page — with payments, deposits, receipts and auto-confirmations — and keep the fee Airbnb would have taken.

Why it wins

Three reasons owners switch to direct

Stop renting Airbnb’s fee

Airbnb takes a 15.5% host fee on standard stays. A guest who found you once often comes back — why pay Airbnb on every comeback? Your own page keeps 100%.

From WhatsApp hustle to pro checkout

Turn your Instagram DMs and WhatsApp chats into finished bookings. Payment link, deposit collection, automatic confirmation and receipt — without you chasing anyone.

Your Insta following becomes bookings

Every IG post and WhatsApp status can link straight to your booking page. You already have the audience — now give them a page to book on.

FAQ

Questions Shortlets owners ask

Im an Airbnb host. Why do I need this?

Airbnb charges a host fee of around 15.5% on every stay. Repeat guests and guests who found you on Instagram or WhatsApp can book you directly on your own page — where there is no fee. You can run both.

Can I collect deposits?

Yes. On your booking page you choose between charging guests in full or collecting a deposit — and you set the deposit amount.

I manage more than one apartment. One page or many?

One dashboard, all your properties. Room types belong to branches, so each apartment or block of apartments has its own availability, pricing and notification emails — managed from a single login.

Will guests pay online?

Yes, by card through your own Paystack account. Settlement goes straight to you, and your guest gets an automatic confirmation and receipt.

How do I get bookings?

Link your booking page everywhere you already share your property: your link-in-bio, WhatsApp status, Instagram posts and Google Business Profile. Bookings and deposits then come to you directly.

Do I need a website to get started?

No. You get a free booking link (yourproperty.mybookinghq.com) immediately, and can connect your own domain anytime with free SSL.
