For Airbnb hosts

Keep Airbnb.
Keep the commission too.

Vacant syncs with your Airbnb listings and gives you a booking site of your own, so guests who find you directly book with 0% commission.

Questions from hosts.

Do I have to leave Airbnb?

No. Keep your Airbnb listings exactly as they are. Vacant syncs with Airbnb so you can sell on Airbnb and on your own site from one calendar.

What does Vacant charge on direct bookings?

No commission. Direct bookings are paid through Vacant Payments, powered by Stripe, so standard card processing applies. We'll walk through pricing on your demo.

Can I move my Airbnb guests to direct bookings?

Airbnb bookings stay on Airbnb, and Airbnb's rules don't allow sending guests off the platform through its messages. Vacant grows your direct channel separately: your booking site, Google, and the guests who book with you directly.

Where will direct guests find me?

On your booking page, which you can link from your website, social profiles and Google, so travelers searching for your place can book at your direct rate.

I only have one or two listings. Is Vacant for me?

Yes. Vacant works for a single home or a small portfolio, and you run it from your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
