Every booking through an OTA costs you 15–20%.
On a property doing just $4,000 a month through Booking.com and Agoda, that's $600–800 a month in commission — over $8,000 a year — paid on guests who often would have booked you directly. A site of your own pays for itself in a single season, then keeps paying.

What every build includes
The pieces a Sri Lankan hospitality business actually needs to win and keep direct guests.
Commission-Free Direct Bookings
The booking platforms take 15–20% of every reservation. Your own site takes 0%. We build the channel that keeps that money with you.
Online Payments, Local & Global
Accept LKR and international cards through PayHere, onepay or Stripe — confirmed, paid bookings without a phone call.
WhatsApp & Instant Enquiry
Guests reach you the way Sri Lankans actually book — one tap to WhatsApp, with enquiries landing in your inbox instantly.
Works Alongside the OTAs
Keep your Booking.com and Airbnb listings. We simply give you a direct channel that's cheaper for guests and free for you — run both.
Built for Tourists
Multi-currency, lightning fast on a hotel-lobby 4G connection, and ready for the languages your guests speak.
Found on Google

Honest answers
The questions every owner asks before they say yes.
No — keep them. They send you guests you'd never reach otherwise. The point is that many guests who book through them would happily book you directly if they could — and on those, you're paying 15–20% for nothing. Your own site captures those bookings commission-free, running right alongside the platforms.
Yes. With the Booking & Payments Platform, guests pay with local cards and bank options through PayHere or onepay, and international cards through Stripe — so you get confirmed, paid reservations without phone tag or bank transfers.
That's the whole idea. You get a simple dashboard to update rates, photos, availability and see your bookings. Anything you don't want to touch, we handle. No website knowledge needed.
A modest hosting and maintenance fee — far less than one month of OTA commission for most properties. And critically, no per-booking commission, ever. The site usually pays for itself within the first season.
Because you'll see it first. We build a free, tailored mockup of your property's site before you commit. Most of our clients decide the moment they see their own hotel on it. Take a look at our live demo, Tamarind Bay, to see the standard.
