Hosts with several properties · small property managers
One direct-booking website for all your holiday rentals.
For hosts with several properties and small property managers. Returning guests and recommendations should be able to book with you, not only through a platform. We build the page that makes that possible.
In short
LocalDominate builds direct-booking websites for hosts with several holiday rentals and for small property managers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. One site shows every property, connects to the calendar you already use where your system allows it, and gives returning guests a direct way to book. Single holiday homes do not qualify for a Google Business Profile; a rental business with an office can.
Sounds familiar?
- Guests who already stayed with you book again through the platform.
- Each property is described differently on each platform.
- You keep several calendars in sync by hand.
- There is no page you could send a returning guest to.
Several properties, and no booking page of your own.
A host with several properties runs them through platform listings, with one calendar per platform. Guests who want to come back, and people who heard about the place from friends, have nowhere to book except the platform. So commission is paid even on guests you had already won. One booking page for all properties gives them a direct way in.
What we check first
01 · On the platforms
How each property is listed today: photos, descriptions and house rules, and what differs from one platform to the next.
02 · On Google
What appears when someone searches the name of a property or of your rental business.
03 · In your calendar
How availability is kept in sync, and whether a direct booking fits in without a double booking.
04 · In past bookings
Which guests came back or came by recommendation. They are the first who could book direct.
What we build
Google's guidelines exclude single holiday homes from Business Profiles. A rental business with an office can qualify. We check this before any profile work.
Usually first · Step 04 Build
The listings already exist on the platforms. What is missing is the thing a guest can use to book with you: the page itself.
How the Build step works- One booking website for all properties, each with its own page
- Availability and booking requests connected to the calendar you already use, where your system allows it
- A short kit for returning guests: the direct link, a QR code for each property and an email text
- A Google Business Profile for the rental business, if it qualifies under Google's rules
Commission calculator · for hotels and hosts
What do platform bookings cost you in a year?
Work it out with your own numbers. Nothing is filled in for you, and nothing you type leaves this page.
How it is calculated
- Room nights per year
- = rooms or properties × 365 × occupancy
- Revenue via platforms
- = room nights × rate per night × platform share
- Commission paid per year
- = revenue via platforms × commission rate
- One percentage point moved to direct booking
- = room nights × rate per night × 1 % × commission rate
This is arithmetic with your numbers only, not a forecast. It assumes every night is sold at the average rate, and it leaves out what a direct booking costs you, such as payment fees or advertising.
