For guest houses, B&Bs and Airbnbs
Websites for guest houses, B&Bs and Airbnbs
A calm, photo-led website for guest houses, B&Bs and self-catering stays, so guests can see your rooms and message you directly.
What guests compare before they book
Guests choosing where to stay compare photos, rates and location within minutes, often on a phone and across several tabs. If they cannot see the room, the price and what is included, they book somewhere that shows it.
A site of your own also lets guests contact you directly. Booking platforms can bring you guests, but the listing is theirs, not yours. A website is a page you control, with your own rates and words, that you can share on social media, print on a card and send to people who stayed before.
What the guest house example includes
- A rooms page with what each room sleeps, the bed, the features and the nightly rate
- A Book on WhatsApp button for each room, with the message already written
- Photos, plus practical details such as breakfast, wifi, backup power and parking
- Directions, check-in times and a note for late arrivals
- A reception number and email so guests can ask a question first
What it costs
A 3 page site (Home, Rooms and Contact) is R1000 once-off with your .co.za domain for the first year. If you want extra pages, such as a gallery or things to do nearby, the 5 page site is R1500. Hosting is R80 to R100 a month from month 2.
Questions from guest house owners
Can guests book and pay on the site?
Enquiries and bookings go through WhatsApp, with a message ready for the room the guest tapped. Payment is arranged between you and the guest, so you stay in charge of your calendar.
Will this replace my Airbnb listing?
No. Keep your listing if it brings you guests. The website is your own page, handy for social media, for printed cards and for guests who want to book direct.
Can each room have its own rate?
Yes. Every room can show its own rate, and you can add a line about seasonal prices or a minimum stay.
