Direct booking · Two configurations
A direct booking engine, with no commission fees.
The right path depends on the tools you already use. Already have one? The website links to it. Prefer to handle requests yourself? Guests submit a request that you confirm or decline in guideyourguest.
On a common case, platform commission costs €2,592 a year. Direct from €24/month excl. VAT. Excl. VAT — €288 billed per year

Direct booking
Estimate the impact of direct booking.
For properties that win stays back from platforms, every direct booking avoids their commission. Adjust the assumptions with your own figures: the amount is a reference point, not a promise.
- Bookings per month
- Average booking value
- Commission avoided
Monthly saving €216
Indicative yearly total €2,592
Around 8 bookings taken direct each month.
One entry, two paths
Do not confuse redirect with integration.
The “Book” button stays clear for guests, but what happens next depends on the configuration chosen by the property.
Link to your tool. guideyourguest opens your booking engine or another public booking path. It does not exchange rates, availability or confirmations with that tool.
Request in guideyourguest. Guests submit a stay request. It remains pending until you confirm or decline it.
A channel with no guideyourguest commission. guideyourguest does not take a commission on requests received through your own journey.
Choose the configuration
Two deliberately separate ways of working.
The first keeps your current tool fully in charge. The second organises a direct request, with an explicit decision from the property.
How it works
A direct request to confirm
Guests enter their stay details and submit a request. You then confirm or decline it in guideyourguest.
- 1Request received in the back office
- 2Pending status before your decision
- 3Property confirms or declines
In both configurations, the official website remains the entry point and the property defines the choice.
These two paths describe how the product works. The existing-tool mode is a link, not an integration.
Configuration B in detail
A request is not yet a confirmed booking.
The status remains clear for your team and the guest.
Property side
One simple rule: one tool makes the decision.
When you link to an existing engine, it remains responsible for the journey. When you enable guideyourguest requests, your team makes the decision in the back office.
“Link” mode is not PMS synchronisation. “Request” mode requires your team to confirm or decline.
Define the destination. Add your current engine address or enable the guideyourguest request form.
Keep availability current. In request mode, calendars must stay up to date to present consistent information.
Process every request. A request remains pending until the property confirms or declines it.
Before and after the request
Booking belongs to a wider journey.
The website explains the offer before the request; the guest guide takes over when the stay begins.
Frequently asked questions
What to know before enabling booking.
The two configurations serve different operating models.
Does guideyourguest integrate with my engine or PMS?
Not in the existing-tool configuration: guideyourguest simply opens its link. It does not exchange rates, availability or confirmations with that tool.
Is a guideyourguest request confirmed automatically?
No. It remains pending until the property confirms or declines it.
Can I keep my current tool?
Yes. You can keep its workflow and add its link to the website booking button.
Does guideyourguest take commission on direct requests?
guideyourguest does not take a commission on requests received through your own journey.
