Every booking through an OTA costs you 15–20%.
Take a property doing $4,000 a month through Booking.com and Agoda. At 15–20%, that's $600–$800 a month in commission, over $8,000 a year, much of it paid on guests who would have booked you directly. Our booking platform build costs $600 once, plus $20 a month: for that property, one month of commission.

What every build includes
The pieces a Sri Lankan hospitality business needs to win direct guests and keep them.
Commission-Free Direct Bookings
The booking platforms take 15–20% of every reservation. Your own site takes 0%. The difference stays in your pocket, booking after booking.
Online Payments, Local & Global
Accept LKR and international cards through PayHere, onepay or Stripe. Bookings arrive confirmed and paid, without a phone call.
WhatsApp & Instant Enquiry
One tap opens WhatsApp, the channel most Sri Lankan bookings already happen on, and every enquiry also lands in your inbox.
Works Alongside the OTAs
Keep your Booking.com and Airbnb listings. The direct channel runs beside them; it's cheaper for guests and commission-free for you.
Built for Tourists
Multi-currency display, pages that load fast on a hotel-lobby 4G connection, and support for the languages your guests speak.
Found on Google
Technical SEO so travellers searching for a place to stay in your town find your site alongside the aggregators, not below them.
