You can accept bookings directly on the Booklee page by completing the setup steps and adding the Stripe payment provider. Launching direct bookings has never been this easy.
2. Manage rates and fees
Take advantage of a flexible price management system
Select currency and set nightly rates
Add unlimited seasonal rates
Add fees to for extra services
Determine the base rate and week rates
Set the default price per night. You can also set a different nightly rate depending on the day of the week. This allows you to differentiate prices on workdays and weekends.
Set up seasonal rates
Set different rates for specific date periods. Your season rates will override the default rate for those periods. This allows setting different rates, for example, for the summer season or Christmas period.
Add extra fees
Hosts can add additional fees to the price of stay. For example, cleaning fees or fees for extra guests.
3. Control calendar
Booklee allows you to have complete control over your booking calendar
Sync calendar with your other booking channels
Manage upcoming and past reservations
Block dates based on your preferences
Set booking window
The booking window determines how far your guests can book your place in the future. Usually, hosts allow booking up to 6-12 months in advance as it is hard to set prices more than one year in advance.
Sync with external calendars
To decrease the risk of double booking, you can sync your Booklee calendar with other tools where clients can book your place (Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, or PMS providers).
Block internal dates
You can manually block dates in your Booklee calendar if you have property maintenance, are using the property for yourself, or simply may not feel like accepting guests on these dates.

Benefits of accepting direct bookings
Control your business
Airbnb and other OTAs can ban your listing, decrease visibility, or make other changes. Don't risk loosing your business.
Save on comission
Airbnb and other OTAs charge from 12-20% fee. With direct bookings, you will save at least 50-75% of that cost.
Get cash up front
Airbnb and other OTAs make payouts only on the date of guest arrival. For direct bookings, you are paid at once.
Collect emails and phone numbers
Get client contacts for all direct bookings. Build a client list and target them through marketing campaigns.
