Everything you need for direct bookings.
TravelBed is your bookings, your rules — own your guests, your policies, your data.
Direct booking engine
Give your guests a simple, branded way to book directly with you — no marketplace, no middleman. Your default booking site lives at travelbed.com/p/host-slug and works out of the box.
Branded booking site
Every host gets their own booking site at travelbed.com/p/host-slug — ready to share with guests from day one.
Simple guest booking flow
Guests select their dates, enter a guest count, and submit a booking request directly through your site.
Host approval before payment
You review and approve each booking request before payment is processed. No surprises.
Airbnb import
Import your listing details from Airbnb to reduce setup time. Get your booking site live in minutes, not hours.
Calendar sync
Keep your availability up to date across every platform. TravelBed syncs with your existing calendars so you can focus on hosting, not juggling bookings.
iCal feed import
Import availability from Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO via standard iCal feeds. Your calendar stays in sync across platforms automatically.
Double-booking prevention
Calendar sync automatically blocks dates booked on other platforms, so you never have to worry about overlapping reservations.
Manual date blocking
Block and unblock dates directly from your dashboard whenever you need to. Full control over your availability.
Per-date pricing override
Set custom pricing for specific dates to override your base nightly rate. Charge more for peak seasons or special events.
Direct payments
Your guests pay you directly through Stripe. TravelBed never touches your money — we just charge a small commission on completed bookings. See full pricing details for more.
Direct payment via Stripe
Guests pay directly through your own Stripe account. You stay in control of your money from the moment a booking is confirmed.
TravelBed never holds your money
We don’t collect or hold guest payments. Funds go straight to your Stripe account — no intermediary, no delays.
Immediate payment on approval
Once you approve a booking request, the guest is charged immediately. No waiting around for payment to clear.
5% commission, invoiced monthly
TravelBed charges a 5% commission on completed bookings only. You’re invoiced monthly — no upfront fees, no hidden costs.
Custom domains
Give your booking site a professional look with your own domain. TravelBed handles the technical setup so you can focus on your brand.
Your own domain
Use your own domain like www.some-bnb.com for your booking site. Guests see your brand, not ours.
Automatic SSL & DNS
SSL certificates and DNS management are handled automatically. Your custom domain is secure and ready to go with zero configuration.
Free default URL
Every host gets a free travelbed.com/p/host-slug URL by default. Start accepting bookings immediately, no domain required.
Optional add-on
Custom domains are entirely optional and available at an additional annual cost. Your free TravelBed URL always works.
Host dashboard
Everything you need to run your property, all in one dashboard. Manage bookings, update your listing, control your calendar, and keep track of your earnings.
Booking management
View and manage all your booking requests in one place — pending, upcoming, and past. Approve or decline with a single click.
Listing editing
Update your property listing anytime — photos, description, amenities, and pricing. Changes go live instantly.
Calendar availability
Manage your calendar availability and set per-date pricing to override your base nightly rate for busy periods or special dates.
Earnings and commission
Track your earnings and view commission summaries so you always know where you stand financially.
Policy management
Your property, your rules. Define cancellation policies, house rules, and check-in times — and they're displayed to guests during the booking flow so there are no surprises.
Cancellation policies
Define your own cancellation policies so guests know exactly what to expect. Flexible, moderate, or strict — you decide.
House rules
Set house rules and check-in/check-out times that suit your property. Guests see them before they book.
Policy templates
Start with suggested templates and customise them to fit your needs. No need to write policies from scratch.
Email notifications
Stay in the loop without lifting a finger. TravelBed handles all transactional emails so both you and your guests are always informed.
Booking confirmations
Automatic booking confirmation emails are sent to both you and your guest once a booking is confirmed.
New booking requests
Get an email notification the moment a guest submits a booking request so you can respond quickly.
Approval notifications
Guests receive an email notification when you approve their booking, keeping them informed every step of the way.
