Compare direct booking website builders
Both let vacation rental hosts take direct bookings from a branded website. Lodgify bundles it into an all-in-one platform priced per property; Haven is free to build with 0% booking commission on every plan.
Book With Haven and Lodgify both help short-term rental hosts and property managers take commission-free direct bookings from their own branded website instead of relying only on Airbnb and Vrbo.
Lodgify is an all-in-one platform: a template-based website builder plus a channel manager and property management tools, priced per property. Its website builder and onboarding are genuinely well reviewed, and its sites support standard content in roughly 25 guest-facing languages. Based on publicly available information as of August 2026, its entry tiers (Basic and Starter) add a 1.9% fee on bookings processed through Lodgify; the fee drops to 0% on the higher Professional and Ultimate tiers.
Book With Haven is a self-serve, no-code booking site and guest experience platform. It is free to build — you pay only when you publish — with 0% booking commission on every plan, plan-based pricing that does not scale per property, and guest-experience tools built in: a guest CRM with smart remarketing, digital guidebooks that capture guest emails, guest screening with damage protection, and multi-jurisdiction taxes and accounting.
Lodgify can stay the operations PMS. Haven connects to Lodgify natively through its API: listing content, photos, fees, prices, availability, reservations, and guest messages sync into Haven, and Haven direct bookings are created in Lodgify in real time so every channel closes together. This page compares the two on the capabilities hosts ask about most.
No-code branded site with property pages and built-in Stripe checkout.
Template-based website builder with a booking engine — a well-reviewed core feature.
Flat subscription; no per-booking commission on any plan (standard Stripe fees apply).
Entry Basic/Starter tiers add a 1.9% booking fee; 0% starts on the higher Professional tier.
Free to build for as long as you like; pay only when you publish.
7-day free trial, then a paid per-property subscription.
Plan-based pricing (Starter, Growth, Pro) rather than per property.
Priced per property per month; portfolio costs grow with each listing.
Built-in guest CRM with smart remarketing — captures guests from every channel, including Airbnb and Vrbo bookers.
No native guest-marketing CRM (listed on Lodgify’s public roadmap); email marketing via Mailchimp integration.
Guidebooks and a mobile stay guide that capture the booker’s email and co-guests’ into your CRM.
Guest portal and app gated to the top Ultimate tier; richer guidebooks via third-party integrations.
Screenings free; up to $50,000 damage protection on eligible bookings via Truvi.
Available through partner integrations (Safely, Authenticate, Truvi) at added cost.
Beautiful, design-forward pages built to convert — no theme picker, no plugin store. It just works.
Four base templates with style variants; preset styling, no site-wide CSS, and some system pages are not editable.
Localized booking pages in up to 5 languages with per-language URLs and hreflang for structured indexing.
Standard site content in ~25 guest-facing languages; hosts translate their own property descriptions.
Native two-way connectors for Hospitable, Guesty, Lodgify, OwnerRez, and theHostCo. Any other PMS — Hostaway, Hostfully, Hostex, 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.
Channel manager with two-way sync to major OTAs (additional channels via iCal), plus property management tools.
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.
Native booking extras (early check-in, late checkout, welcome baskets) at booking and in the guest app; richer storefronts via third-party partners. Inventory tracking, event seats, party-size pricing, and quote requests are not documented.
Turnover cleans and upsell jobs become tasks automatically, offered to your own cleaners and chefs by SMS, WhatsApp, or email — Y/N/DONE replies, a no-login job page, photo proof, backup escalation, and Stripe payouts.
Property management tools are part of its all-in-one platform, but no text-message task offers to your own contacts or contractor payout workflow is documented.
One grounded assistant on every property site, multi-unit site, guidebook, and custom domain (private stay details only after booking). Every reply graded, gaps grouped into insights with cited chats, one-click Add context fixes it across all sites; hosts train it by chatting with their own sites.
AI-generated reply suggestions in the unified inbox are documented; a public-site guest chatbot with per-reply grading, topic insights, or one-click cross-property fixes is not.
