Why Holuway
Fair to hosts, plain about prices, one workspace
The reasons to choose Holuway, stated as facts you can check: what it costs, what it charges, what it does today and what it does not do yet.
02 · Your bookings are yours
No commission on bookings you bring
Your website and booking engine, walk-ins, phone and email bookings and your own channels carry no Holuway commission. Holuway earns a commission only when its marketplace brings you the guest.
03 · No guest fee
The guest pays your price
Holuway's marketplace commission is paid by the host and the guest pays no Holuway service fee, so the same night costs the guest the same on Holuway as on your own site.
04 · Published prices
Prices on the page, not in a sales call
Every plan, per-unit price, minimum and commission is published on the pricing page, read from the same configuration Holuway bills from, with a free trial before the first charge.
05 · One workspace
Stays, Spaces and the rest of your business together
Hotels, rentals and venues run side by side in one workspace with one inbox and one team, beside Holuway's products for long-term rentals, service businesses and business addresses.
06 · Said plainly
What is ready, and what is not
Every product page lists what Holuway does not do yet. Partner channels, card readers and lock integrations are among them, and each screen says the status of what it shows.

Questions, answered
Can I take my data with me?
Yes. Guest lists and the trial balance export, and Holuway never puts exporting your own data behind a plan.
Is there a contract?
No. Plans are monthly or yearly, and you change or cancel them in your workspace.
