Airbnb discount hack! Save 20% or more!

Here's the basic premise - a growing number of Airbnb hosts are beginning to create their own vacation rental sites, enabling guests to book directly and eliminating the need for an intermediary. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to find independent direct booking sites (we're working on a search tool that will make this easier), but if you can, you'll be able to avoid all the extra Airbnb fees.

Establishing trust is a crucial factor for both vacation rental operators and prospective guests. This is especially true when it comes to direct bookings, which is why we’re excited to announce a new feature available to all Dtravel Direct customers.

Since Dtravel Direct is designed to empower direct booking success, property managers can’t rely on the credibility of a third-party brand like Airbnb to convert guests. Instead the onus is on the property manager to establish their own brand and earn the trust of guests. For property manager’s new to direct bookings, this can be a challenge, which is why we’ve implemented a new feature to help operators get started!

Enhance the transparency and credibility of your booking site with Dtravel Direct’s latest feature, “Trust Signals”.

Is your homepage ready to convert guests?

The first and most important interaction a potential guest can have with your brand or business is your booking site's homepage.

Ask yourself - "Why would a traveller feel comfortable booking a property through an incomplete website?"

If you want to get bookings outside of Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking then you should think of your homepage as your business' digital face, setting the tone for what guests should expect from the quality and level of service you provide.

Learn why homepage design is critical to the success of any vacation rental business and how you can use Dtravel Direct to easily stand out in a crowded market!
