What it does

Your own booking page

Show your property at its best and let guests request dates directly.

A page that sells your place

Photos, description, amenities and rates on a clean page that looks great on any phone — the kind of first impression OTAs don't give you. Guests request their dates right there.

  • Photo gallery, amenities and rates
  • Required check-in / check-out dates
  • Your brand, not a marketplace

Direct booking requests

Guests send a booking request with their dates straight to you. Check-in and check-out dates are required, so requests arrive complete.

  • Required check-in / check-out dates
  • Requests land straight with you
  • Email notification on every request
Owner view — booking requests

Requests in one place, not four

Guests ask on the page you gave them, and everything lands in one list instead of spreading across a booking platform, two chat apps and a phone call you took while driving.

  • One list of requests, with a counter on the tab
  • A QR and link to print and leave in the room
  • Works from the guest's own phone, no app

FAQ

Questions owners ask us

How is this different from an OTA listing?

The booking request comes straight to you, so there is no commission on it. BlueDirect gives you your own page and a request form; it does not replace the visibility of an OTA, it gives you somewhere to send guests who already found you.

How much does BlueDirect cost?

EUR 4 per month for one property. Up to 5 properties is EUR 15 per month, up to 20 is EUR 56 per month. Monthly billing can be cancelled anytime, and yearly billing gives you two months free. There is no commission on bookings, whatever you take through it.

Do you take a commission on my bookings?

No. You pay the monthly fee and nothing else. A single booking that would have carried OTA commission usually covers the cost for a long time.

Does it take payments or deposits?

No. BlueDirect collects booking requests: you confirm and arrange payment the way you already do. That keeps you in control of your own terms and cancellation rules.

Is it a channel manager?

No. It does not push prices or availability to the OTAs. It is your own page and your own request form, kept deliberately simple.

What do I do with a request when it arrives?

You get the dates and the guest details, and you reply to confirm or decline. Nothing is committed until you say yes, so you never risk a double booking you did not approve.

Can guests see my availability?

You choose how much to show. Many owners prefer to receive the request and reply personally, which is often what makes a direct guest book with you rather than through a platform.

Will guests trust booking directly with me?

That is exactly what the page is for: photos, clear information, your own terms and a real contact. Guests who arrive from an OTA listing or from social media need somewhere that looks like a real business.

Do I need my own website?

No. The BlueDirect page is the website for that property. If you already have one, you can link to it from there.

Can I use it alongside my OTA listings?

Yes, and most owners do. The OTAs bring new guests; BlueDirect is where you send returning guests and anyone who contacts you directly, so those stays carry no commission.

Can you build a program just for me?

Yes, and it is a fair part of what we do. If one of these is close but not quite what your work needs, we can shape it around you — a field you actually use, a step your day really has — or build something that does not exist yet. Write to us and say what is missing; if we think you are better off with something that already exists, we will tell you that too, even though it means not selling you anything.

I need it in another language. Can you do that?

Yes. The tools themselves are in English today, which is the working language of most of our customers, and the translations are built into the software rather than bolted on. If you need your guests or your team to read it in another language, tell us which one and we will do it for you.
