Booking engine and stay websites

Your own website, booking direct, at no commission

Holuway builds your website from your rooms, rates and photos, with the booking engine inside it. Publish it on a Holuway address or your own domain; what it books carries no Holuway commission.

The booking engine settings in Holuway: instant confirmation, extras, promotion codes and house terms, with a readiness checklist.

01 · The website

Made from what you already entered

Choose a template and preview it with your real rooms, rates and photos before anything is public. Publish or unpublish in a step, share a seven-day preview link, and see visits and the booking funnel.

  • A brand website that searches across all your stays
  • Edit pages and style in the Website Studio

02 · Your domain

On a Holuway address or your own

Every site starts at its own address under stays.holuway.com. Connect a domain you own: Holuway shows the DNS records, checks them, makes the certificate and switches when you say.

  • The Holuway address moves to your domain for good once it is active

03 · The booking engine

Booking settings that read like a checklist

Confirm bookings instantly once card payments are on, or treat each as a request you confirm. Offer extras while booking, accept promotion codes, require a phone number and show your house terms.

  • A readiness checklist beside the settings
  • An optional reminder to finish a booking
  • Text updates where the guest agreed to texts

04 · Payment

The card held, then taken when you confirm

The guest's card is authorised when they ask to book and charged when you confirm, or at once with instant booking. A decline or a lapsed request releases the hold. Your cancellation policy decides refunds.

  • Flexible, moderate, strict or nonrefundable, by hours before check-in on your clock

Not in Holuway yet

Said plainly, so you can plan around it.

  • A booking widget to embed in a website you host elsewhere.
  • Deposits or payment schedules: the whole stay is authorised at the request.

Commission only when Holuway brings the guest

Bookings you bring cost no commission: your website and booking engine, walk-ins, phone and email bookings, and your own channels. Holuway charges a commission only on bookings from the Holuway marketplace, and the guest pays no service fee.

Bookings you bring

No commission

Your website, booking engine, desk, phone and email.

Bookings from other channels

No Holuway fee

A channel's booking carries that channel's own commission, never Holuway's.

Bookings from the Holuway marketplace

12% on Free, 12% on Pro, 12% on Business

Taken from the payout of each booking, refunded in proportion with a refund. No guest service fee.

Spaces marketplace bookings: 12% on Free, 12% on Pro, 12% on Business.

Card money you take for your own bookings through Holuway carries no Holuway fee.

Card processing (2.9% + $0.30 for standard US cards) is charged by Stripe to your own Stripe account.
