Competitor facts checked
5.0on Capterra · 6 reviews, September 2026eviivo, headquartered in London with offices in Austin, New York, Düsseldorf, Paris, Málaga and Tunis, has been selling eviivo Suite since 2011 and reports 28,000+ accommodations, 11,000+ hosts and 660,000 bookings a month across 70 countries. It was named Hotel PMS Platform of the Year at the TravelTech Breakthrough Awards in May 2026, based on publicly available information as of October 2026. The suite is modular: Property, Website, Channel, Payment, Promo, Guest, Performance, Owner and Device Manager, an AI Pricing Manager, a Welcome Guide and a mobile app.
Its pricing is published, which is rarer than it should be: Single Property “from $50” a month and Multi-Property “from $125” (£35 and £95 in the UK, “minimum applies”), with per-room monthly add-ons — Payment Manager $1, Guest Manager $3, Promo Manager $3, Performance Manager $2, Owner Manager $3 — plus a flat $0.50 processing fee per confirmed booking and no revenue share. The Welcome Guide, AI Pricing Manager and Device Manager are add-ons with no listed price, and its pricing page states both a free first 30 days and, in its FAQ, that it does not offer free trials.
Book With Haven is a purpose-built direct booking site and guest experience platform. It is free to build — you pay only when you publish — with 0% booking commission and no per-booking fee on every plan, guidebooks that capture guest emails into a built-in CRM with smart remarketing, free guest screening with up to $50,000 damage protection on eligible bookings via Truvi, native upsells, observable guest AI, Blog Autopilot, AI reels, loyalty points and a Haven Assistant that changes your site from a sentence. If you run eviivo, Haven connects through the Airbnb listing eviivo already publishes — keep your operations and add a branded booking site.
Book With Haven vs eviivo, at a glance
A standalone booking site — no PMS subscription required — that connects to the PMS you already run.
Website Manager is a module of an eviivo Suite subscription; every subscription includes the booking engine and/or website.
No per-booking commission and no guest service fee on any plan (standard Stripe fees apply).
“All bookings are commission-free” and eviivo “does not take any revenue share”, but a flat processing fee of $0.50 (£0.50, €0.50, CA$0.75) applies per confirmed booking on top of the subscription.
Free to build for as long as you like; pay only when you publish.
Its pricing page says the first 30 days are free and billing is monthly in arrears, while the same page’s FAQ says “We do not offer free trials” — internally inconsistent as of October 2026.
Your listings appear in Haven’s plain-language AI stay search and in its open search API and MCP server for ChatGPT, Claude, and other assistants — each result links travelers to book direct with you, with no commission or guest fee.
Through its DirectBooker partnership (May 2026) eviivo properties can be surfaced in ChatGPT and Claude with the booking routed to the property’s own site, plus Google Hotel Ads and Google Vacation Rentals connections — a genuine strength. No traveler-facing search of its own.
A no-code branded site per listing or multi-unit group, custom domain, and built-in Stripe checkout with instant book or request-to-book — the free Haven site becomes your direct booking site the moment you subscribe.
A self-serve, “fully customizable Website Builder” on WordPress-based templates with the booking engine built in, “no need to wait for developers”, and no hosting, development or maintenance fees. Your own domain is stated only for the Welcome Guide, not the main site.
Keep your current site and embed Haven’s booking widget (a script and one div, works in WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, or React), blog widget, or multi-unit search widget; guidebooks, CRM, screening, upsells, and taxes all work alongside it.
Every subscription includes the “booking engine and/or website”, so the engine can sit on a site you already have.
Search answers come from the calendar and rates you sync, checked against your own rules, and the total on the card is the total at checkout. Prices are never shown without dates.
Bookings “land directly in your eviivo calendar”, with rates and availability from the PMS.
Native two-way connectors for Hospitable, Guesty, Lodgify, Hostfully, OwnerRez, and Track. Any other PMS — Hostaway, Hostex, Uplisting, Smoobu, Beds24, Avantio, Octorate, AvaiBook, Hosthub, Zeevou, Hostify, Smily (BookingSync), Elina, Resly, Homhero, Streamline, Escapia, CiiRUS, and essentially every Airbnb-connected system — syncs listing content, photos, prices, availability, and reservations through Haven’s direct Airbnb integration: the same data the PMS already publishes there. The only via-Airbnb difference: Haven bookings and manual blocks close dates via the Haven iCal feed added in the PMS, not a reservation-write API.
eviivo is the PMS: “deep, two-way API connections” that sync rates, availability, content, photos, reviews, messages and policies with its channels, plus iCal and “200+ partner integrations”.
Haven is the branded booking and guest-experience layer, not a replacement operations PMS. Native two-way connectors for Hospitable, Guesty, Lodgify, Hostfully, OwnerRez, and Track. Any other PMS — including Hostaway and Hostex — syncs listing content, photos, prices, availability, and reservations through Airbnb: the same data the PMS already publishes there. Haven bookings write back through native APIs, or via iCal added in the PMS for via-Airbnb connections.
A core strength: Airbnb, Vrbo, Expedia, Hotels.com, Agoda, Booking.com, Travelocity, Orbitz, trivago, Kayak, Priceline, Tripadvisor, Mr & Mrs Smith, Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy (connectivity partner since September 2026), Dida, HRS, the Amadeus GDS and “hundreds of local and regional booking sites”.
Beautiful, design-forward branded pages built to convert — no theme picker. It just works.
A customizable builder on WordPress-based, mobile-responsive templates with an AI Prompter and Translator for copy; no template count is published, and public reviews on a third-party site describe the templates as “basic” (unconfirmed).
Digital guidebooks and a mobile stay guide capture the booker’s and co-guests’ emails into a built-in guest CRM with smart remarketing — local-event, gap-night, price-drop, and listing-updated campaigns.
Welcome Guide (an unpriced add-on) with template chapters, auto-translation and a gated guest portal on your domain; Guest Manager ($3 per room a month) with scheduled automations and upsell emails. A CRM is fed to Mailchimp, Brevo or Zapier rather than built in; gap-night, price-drop and event remarketing campaigns are not documented.
Free guest screenings on every plan, plus optional Screen & Protect damage protection of up to $50,000 on eligible bookings via Truvi ($8 per booked night, paid by the guest at checkout or by the host).
Automated pre-authorization of damage deposits on or before check-in; no built-in guest screening or damage-protection product on company pages. Chekin ID verification is listed as a partner in trade press (unconfirmed).
Guest identity verification, a rental agreement with digital signatures, and security deposit holds or charges, all run from the booking.
Pre-authorized deposits and payment schedules, with access codes withheld until payment; e-signed rental agreements are not documented, and ID verification relies on a partner (unconfirmed).

Create and sell your own experiences and add-ons with 0% Haven commission — quantities with real inventory, time slots and event seats, party-size pricing, deposits, and quote requests — sold pre-booking, at checkout, and in the guest guide. AI-assisted setup and import from any website included.
Extras sold at booking, pre-arrival or in-stay, upsells inside the Welcome Guide, and Promo Manager offers ($3 per room a month); finite inventory, time slots, event seats, party-size pricing and quote requests are not documented.

Housekeeping inside the PMS; SMS job offers to your own contractors with Stripe payouts are not documented.

Haven messages guests by email, SMS and WhatsApp around the booking and runs automated message journeys; it is not a unified OTA inbox — Booking.com and Expedia threads stay in your PMS.
Guest Manager puts Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, Vrbo, email, SMS and WhatsApp in one inbox — a genuine strength.
Opt-in loyalty points on every direct booking, spendable at any of your listings and applied automatically at checkout; four automatic rewards emails (points ready, reminder, expiring soon, last call) with the bookings they bring back; optional inactivity expiry with guest protections; and one program across teammates’ or agency clients’ listings, funded so their payouts stay whole. Included on every plan.
Loyalty and corporate codes in Promo Manager; a points program with automatic rewards emails is not documented.
A 100-point SEO and AI-search score for every site with a checklist sorted by points gained, live Google Search Console and Bing data, weekly checks that the crawlers behind Google, Bing and Copilot, ChatGPT search, Claude, and Perplexity can read the page, a site llms.txt, IndexNow, image and Vacation Rentals sitemaps, Foursquare listings, and visits from AI assistants tracked as their own channel.

A blog on every site, plus Blog Autopilot: on a weekly to monthly schedule Haven runs a real research pass — the queries people search about your area, the pages that rank and what they miss — reads the organiser, park, venue, and tourism-board pages it will cite, writes only from those verified facts and your listing, has an editor check every claim, and drafts the post for your review or publishes it with a Sources list, sitemap entry, and IndexNow ping. Keeping your own website? Embed the same blog with a two-line widget.
No blog feature is described; an AI Prompter drafts site copy.
AI social reels built from your own listing photos, clips and guest reviews, with a storyboard you approve before anything is spent; narrated property stories read by natural ElevenLabs voices; and custom one-minute instrumental soundtracks composed from the property’s photos, likely guests, location and brand. Download-ready MP4s for Instagram, Facebook and Meta ads.
No built-in tool for turning listing photos into social reels with voiceover or generated music is documented.
One Click Ads: Haven writes short-term-rental-tuned Google Search and ChatGPT ads, you set the daily budget, and Haven runs them for you (Meta rolling out) — no agency retainer.

Revenue, occupancy, ADR and RevPAR against last year, booking pace, pricing health, gap and orphan nights, booking sources, a report builder with CSV exports, and a weekly digest; partner mode bills clients, but owner statements, trust accounting and an owner portal are not part of Haven.
Performance Manager KPIs and Owner Manager ($3 per room a month) with trust accounting, one-click owner statements, an owner portal and Xero and QuickBooks exports — a genuine strength; public reviews on a third-party site cite reporting depth as a weakness (unconfirmed).

The Haven Assistant, pinned to every page of your dashboard, changes your sites and settings from a plain-language request — pages, copy, design, photos, domains, listings, rates and calendar, upsells, guest CRM and remarketing, and email settings — and you approve each change before it ships; for anything it does not change directly, it walks you there step by step. Or connect ChatGPT or Claude through Haven’s MCP server and work from there.
An AI Prompter and Translator for site copy and AI-suggested guest replies; an assistant that changes settings from a request, or an MCP server for the host, is not documented (the DirectBooker MCP serves travelers).
Haven’s phone web app — bookwithhaven.com on a phone, added to the home screen, with nothing to install from an app store — runs the same plain-language stay search on the same API as bookwithhaven.com/stays.
