I build a beautiful site for your rental, on your own domain. Guests find you through Google and ChatGPT and still book through Airbnb or Booking. Nothing changes in how you work now.
Every plan is a complete site I build for you. You choose how much it does for you.
A site of your own that shows off your rental. Guests book through Airbnb or Booking.
Your site, and I make sure guests find you in Google and in ChatGPT.
Guests book with you, and you pay no commission.
Not every host wants the same thing. If you want to hand everything over, a management company is the right place. If you host yourself, a site of your own gets more out of your rental. One doesn't rule out the other.
A management company handles cleaning, keys, guest contact and often your pricing too. That usually costs around 20 to 25% of revenue, and that makes sense: it's a lot of work. Spare Hands doesn't replace that.
You already do the work yourself. A site of your own brings more guests and less commission, without handing anything over: from €299 and no commission on direct bookings.
Working with a manager but still want a site that fits your home? That works. I'll coordinate with your manager so the calendar and bookings keep running through them.
Pick a plan and move the three sliders. Extra nights are bookings you wouldn't have had without a site. Direct nights are guests who book with you instead of through Airbnb or Booking: then you pay no commission.
Your subscription pays for itself from 3 extra nights a year.
The calculation assumes 15.5% commission, which is what Airbnb charges. Booking usually charges around 15%, often more with Genius and other programmes. Extra nights count net, so after that commission. Direct nights count the commission you save. Costs are those of the plan you pick: for Calling card €299, then €59 a year for hosting; for the other two the monthly fee. Direct nights only count with Direct booking. Pay yearly and you get one month free. This is an example, not a promise: how many extra bookings a site brings in differs per rental.
Everything stays in Europe. Server in Germany, backups in Lithuania, email via France. No American cloud and no Google Fonts, so your guests' data goes nowhere else.
No standard template. Colours, type and mood come from your own photos.
Better lighting and sharpness. Nothing is added or removed, so guests get what they see.
For the German and English guests who make up a large share of visitors to the coast.
Set up so Google, ChatGPT and Perplexity understand your rental and mention it.
Your reviews, and on Airbnb your insurance, keep working. Direct booking can come later, if you want it.
Hosting, your domain and updates. You don't have to do anything technical. From Get found up, new copy and photos each season too.
That's all I need to start. High-resolution photos are a bonus.
You look at it on your phone and tell me what should change.
I put it online, submit it to Google and Bing, and keep it up to date after that.
Yes. Having your own website is allowed. What isn't allowed is steering guests who book through the platform to your own site. That's why the link doesn't go in your listing or your messages.
No. I handle the domain, hosting and updates. You send the link to your listing and give feedback on the first version.
The calling card is a complete site I build once and keep online. With Get found I keep working on it: I write answers to the questions guests ask Google and ChatGPT, update your copy and photos every season and show you every quarter how often you were found. A site that's kept up to date stays easier to find.
Yes, you can switch to Direct booking at any time: a calendar that follows Airbnb and Booking, and a request form. That costs €39 a month in total, €19 from the second year, with no commission. The guest pays you directly through a payment link: a Tikkie (up to €750 per request) or, if you have a registered business, an iDEAL link through your own Mollie account (€0.29 per payment). The money never passes through me. Note: a direct booking isn't covered by Airbnb's or Booking's schemes. For damage, you take out your own insurance or ask for a deposit.
Yes, in a different way. You won't get more nights, but better ones: guests who book directly, where you pay no commission, and a stronger story for a higher price. Renting out in Zandvoort? Read the rules for 2026 and 2027.
In Europe. The site and the bookings are on a server in Germany, the backups in Lithuania, and email goes through a French service. Nothing goes to American cloud services or to Google. That makes the privacy rules (GDPR) a lot simpler for you as a host.
Maybe. Your manager stays your manager: a site of your own changes nothing about the cleaning, the keys or guest contact. If you want a site that fits your home, I'm happy to coordinate with your manager so the calendar and bookings keep running through them.
You pay for the calling card once. The hosting after that (€59 a year) you can cancel whenever you like. Get found and Direct booking run for at least 12 months, then you can cancel any month. The domain is in your name and you get all the files.
Half. In the first year I build your site and set everything up; after that it is mostly upkeep. From the second year Get found costs €15 a month (€165 a year) and Direct booking €19 a month (€209 a year). That includes hosting, four seasonal updates a year and the quarterly overview. Bigger changes, like a new photo series or extra pages, we agree on separately.
Book a free call: half an hour online, or I come by and we look at it together. Send the link to your listing along and I'll show you a first idea during that call.
