Why Vacaylabs
Great properties deserve more than a listing on someone else's platform
Most hosts run successful stays yet own very little of the business behind them. Four problems come up again and again.
OTA dependence
When every booking arrives through an online travel agency, the agency decides your visibility, owns the guest relationship, and sets the fees.
Fragmented tools
Calendars in one app, prices in another, bookings over phone calls and spreadsheets. Manual operations eat up hours and invite mistakes.
Limited direct-booking control
Without a professional website and booking engine of their own, hosts have no reliable way to convert repeat guests and referrals into direct bookings.
No distribution or brand ownership
Most hosts have no sales network and no brand of their own, so growth stalls the moment OTA rankings shift.
The Vacaylabs ecosystem
One platform, every booking channel working together
Your property sits at the centre. Vacaylabs connects it to a website of your own, a network of agents, and wider distribution, with one synced calendar behind everything.
You and your property
Add your property once, with details, photos, prices, and availability.
The engine
Vacaylabs platform
Property management, your white-label website, calendar sync, booking workflows, and custom pricing in one dashboard.
Your white-label website
A professional direct-booking site under your own brand and domain, where guests book and pay you directly.
Agent network
Real-estate and travel agents present your property with live availability and bring you bookings from their own networks.
Vacayhomes & OTA distribution
Reach a wider audience through the Vacayhomes booking platform while keeping OTA calendars in sync.
One synced calendar
Every channel feeds the same availability, so no channel ever double-books another.
What you get
Everything a direct-booking business needs, in one place
Built around the day-to-day work of running short-term rentals.
Property management
Create and manage listings with rooms, amenities, photo galleries, guest limits, and check-in windows. List, unlist, or edit any time.
Your own website
Generate a professional, mobile-responsive website from proven templates, customised with your brand, including a custom domain.
Calendar & availability sync
Connect external calendars from major platforms, share your own calendar URL, and block or unblock dates to prevent double bookings.
Booking workflows
Review bookings in one list, approve or reject requests, choose direct-payment handling, and keep guest details at hand.
Custom & seasonal pricing
Set guest prices and agent (B2B) prices, apply custom rates to specific dates and seasons, and reset to defaults whenever you like.
Direct bookings & payments
Guests book and pay on your website through a secure payment gateway, with automated confirmations and notifications.
Agent mode & network
Join an agent network where agents showcase live inventory, set their own commission, and bring bookings to your door.
Dashboard & insights
Track bookings, revenue, and occupancy from a dedicated dashboard, with email and SMS alerts for new bookings and requests.
Guests can reach you directly
Your website displays the owner's or caretaker's phone number, WhatsApp number, and email address, so guests who prefer to call, chat, or pay in cash at the property can deal with you directly without going through Vacaylabs.
How it works
From property to direct-booking business in three steps
No technical expertise is required at any step.
Add your property
Create your listing with photos, rooms, amenities, prices, and availability. Save it as a draft and publish when you are ready.
Publish your website & sync calendars
Choose a template, add your branding, and deploy your own direct-booking website. Connect existing OTA calendars so every date stays in sync.
Take bookings directly and through agents
Guests book on your website, agents bring reservations from their networks, and every booking lands in one dashboard.
Who it's for
Built for property owners and the agents who work with them
Two sides of the same ecosystem, and each one makes the other stronger.
One calendar, no double bookings. Sync availability with major platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, and MakeMyTrip so every channel sees the same dates.
A direct-booking channel you own. Your own branded website with an integrated booking engine and payment gateway, so guests book with you directly.
Distribution beyond the OTAs. Agents present your property with live availability, and Vacayhomes distribution widens your reach further.
Room to grow. Dashboards, pricing controls, and workflows that scale as you add properties to your portfolio.
Live short-stay inventory. See which properties are open in real time, with direct property contacts for every listing.
A branded portal of your own. Present curated properties professionally from your own website and close bookings with confidence.
Commission on every booking you bring. Set your own commission percentage and earn on each reservation you generate.
Automatic updates. Properties in your operating area appear on your portal automatically, with no manual upkeep needed.
