Why Staido

Built by hosts, not by engineers

Most booking software is made by engineers who have never rented out a holiday home. We do rent out ours. So we built the widget we wanted for ourselves, and we use it every single day.

The problem

You work hard for your guests, then give away the best part

Every OTA booking costs you commission, your brand and the contact with your guest. And the software that should fix it often feels built by someone who has never handed over a key.

Commission that adds up

15 to 18% per booking, plus the visibility programmes. Money straight off your margin, month after month.

You lose the guest relationship

The guest belongs to the platform, not to you. No direct line, no repeat booking, no relationship of your own.

Heavy, expensive software

All-in-one systems with fixed monthly fees, a setup that takes days and ten features you'll never touch.

Our story

We built the widget we wanted for ourselves

We rent out holiday homes ourselves. We know how it feels when a guest drops out mid-booking, when a platform walks off with your commission, and when software promises to be easy but takes a week to go live.

“Booking fast without hassle, getting paid directly and staying in touch with the guest. Nothing out there did all three. So we built it ourselves, and we use Staido on our own site every day.”

What that means for you

  • A booking flow that is genuinely fast, because we use it ourselves every day

What you get

Your guests, your brand, your margin

Booking on your own site

One line of code and the widget is live on your own domain, in your own styling. For a single home or your whole portfolio.

Money straight to your account

Secure payments via iDEAL and Wero, the EU-wide standard. Through Stripe Connect the money lands with you directly.

Drop-offs brought back automatically

Guests who pick dates but don't check out get a personal return link with everything prefilled. You do nothing.

Built to convert

Scarcity signals, social proof and smart reminders are built in as standard. No plug-ins, no fuss.

In sync with the OTAs

Syncs with Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo so you never get double bookings. Staido becomes your own channel alongside them.

Upsells & extras

Earn more per booking with linen, late check-out or a breakfast basket. Per night, per guest or per stay.

No risk

You only pay once you earn

2.9% per successful booking. No setup fees, no monthly costs. If an automatic return link turns into a booking, 1% is added. No booking, no cost.
