Dvans / Hotels and homestays

Let guests book you, not the platform.

A website with direct booking, WhatsApp replies to enquiries at any hour, pre-arrival messages, and a guest list that brings people back without a commission.

For boutique hotels, homestays, resorts, villas and B&Bs.

An example conversation. Names are made up.

Where it leaks today

Good stays lose bookings in small, quiet ways.

You pay commission on guests who already found you.

Someone sees you on Instagram or hears about you from a friend, cannot book on your site, and books through a platform instead.

Happy guests rebook through the platform.

Nobody kept their number, so the second stay costs you commission too.

Enquiries arrive at midnight.

Travellers plan late at night. By morning they have booked somewhere that answered.

The same questions, every guest.

Check-in time, food, parking, the road from the highway. Each one is a call or a message someone has to answer.

Reviews are scattered.

Your best reviews are spread across platforms, and none of them sit on a page you own.

Quiet weeks stay quiet.

Long weekends and festivals come and go without a word to past guests.

What we set up

Everything a guest touches, joined up.

We build it, run it every week and show you what changed. AI handles the routine work within rules you approve. A person reads it, fixes it and answers for it.

The first month

From first draft to running.

Week one

Study and draft

We read your listings, reviews and photos, and send a working first draft of your website.

Week two

Website and booking

The website goes live with direct booking or a payment-link flow.

Week three

WhatsApp on

Enquiry replies and pre-arrival messages switch on.

Week four

Guest list

Review requests and return-guest messages start. You get the first Monday note.

Timelines depend on how quickly we get your details and approvals. We agree them with you before we start.

Questions

Asked before you ask.

Should we leave the booking platforms?

No. They help new guests discover you. We make sure the guests who find you some other way, and the ones who come back, can book you directly.

We use a channel manager. Will this work with it?

Usually yes. We connect to your booking engine or channel manager where it allows, so availability stays in one place.

Who handles complaints during a stay?

Your team. The assistant passes anything urgent to the person on duty straight away, with the conversation so far.

We are a single homestay. Is this too much?

No. Most small stays need a good website, a booking link and WhatsApp replies. We set up only what fits.

What does it cost?

A fixed price for the setup, agreed before we start, and a monthly fee if you want us to keep running it. The first draft is free.
