Direct Booking Strategy

While global platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com are essential for visibility, the most profitable booking is the one made directly with us. At Stayhub, we have invested in a high-converting, mobile-optimised Direct Booking Website that allows us to bypass third-party service fees and pass those savings on to both you and your guests. By implementing an aggressive direct booking strategy, we build a loyal database of repeat travellers who choose to stay at your property year after year, ensuring your investment remains resilient regardless of platform algorithm changes.

Why Direct Booking Wins

Our direct booking strategy enhances your property’s profitability by offering guests a best price guarantee that removes the 14–20% service fees typical of major platforms, making your home more competitive while delivering higher net revenue to you. We leverage this direct relationship to provide superior, flexible cancellation policies that serve as a powerful conversion tool, giving travellers the confidence to choose your property over those with rigid, platform-dictated terms. Furthermore, this approach allows us to own the guest relationship and data, enabling us to run targeted marketing campaigns and loyalty incentives that drive repeat bookings and maintain high occupancy year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to take bookings outside of Airbnb?
Absolutely. Our direct booking site uses enterprise-level, PCI-compliant payment gateways and the same rigorous guest-vetting processes we use across all our channels. You are still fully protected by our management protocols and specialised short-term rental insurance recommendations.
Yes. Our centralised calendar management system treats a direct booking exactly the same as an Airbnb booking. Your owner portal will show the source of every booking, and you can still block out dates for your own use at any time.
How do guests find the direct booking site?
We use a multi-pronged approach. We include “Book Direct” incentives in our physical guest guidebooks, use retargeting marketing for previous guests, and optimise our site for Google Travel searches. Often, a guest will find your home on Airbnb and then search for “Stayhub” to find a better deal.
Not necessarily. Flexible policies actually drive a much higher volume of bookings. By carefully managing our direct terms, we find that the increase in total occupancy far outweighs the occasional cancellation, resulting in higher net profit at the end of the year.

TESTIMONIALS

Hear From Our Owners

Lily
Stayhub are a godsend! They don’t just look after my properties, they make sure my booking calendars are always full; something my previous manager could never achieve. I can now relax knowing my investments are working for me.
Steve
Stayhub manage our apartment in Auckland that we rent out when I'm not using it for work. They do a fantastic job of managing guests and keep the apartment immaculately clean and tidy. They offer a very personalised service, which really works for us as our apartment is not available full-time. I would highly recommend Stay Hub to manage your property.
Howard
As a first-time short-term accommodation owner, I was looking for a company that could take care of my property and all of the responsibilities. I will say Stayhub have performed above my expectations. From cleaning to booking to host management, they have a very well-oiled machine. Take note, it takes a few weeks to grow bookings and reviews. Highly recommended.
Neville
I have only just listed my apartment with Stayhub, and I am impressed with the way that everything was handled. I am also deeply impressed with Stayhub obtaining 23 days over 4 customers. Keep up the good work
