In a word, cost. Houfy allows you to accept reservations at a much lower cost than the likes of AirBnB, VRBO and Booking .com.

That’s certainly an option. You could add Houfy's widgets to it to manage the pricing, reservation and calendar elements.

However you have additional costs to consider, site build and management, hosting fees etc. And if you want it to rank (get found in Google searches) you will have to pay for that.

The beauty of Houfy is that it allows you to have a many of the elements of a website without the additional cost.

Probably not. The main platforms are well known and people go to them first. But they are expensive to use by comparison. Direct bookings will earn you more money. Houfy doesn’t take commission so if your guests book through Houfy you get more of the money.

By you promoting it. If you market yourself on social media or local advertising. Send them to your Houfy listing to make a reservation.

Houfy does not replace the need for you to promote and market your business.
