Book direct.
Hosts keep everything.
Guests — name your price.
No service fee at checkout, no commission on the booking. Guests usually pay at least 10% less than the same villa on Airbnb — and owners keep 100%.
Every direct-booking villa in one place — hosts keep their own site, their own guests, their own prices.
- No booking fees
- Direct owner discount
- Message the host, not a call center
Airbnb adds a ~15% guest service fee at checkout. Book here and you skip it.

For villa owners
Everything included. Nothing to pay.
The tools property managers charge hundreds a month for — bundled with every listing, at no cost. There is no paid tier sitting above this one.
Channel Manager
Calendars and nightly prices synced with Airbnb, VRBO and Booking.com — no double bookings, no spreadsheet juggling.
How syncing works →TV Concierge
Any TV in your villa becomes a guest welcome screen — Wi-Fi in big type, local tips with scannable directions, your best photos on loop.
See it live →Guest Guide
A digital welcome book with house info, check-in details and your local picks — sent before arrival, on the TV during the stay.
Example guide →AI-Assisted Inbox
Suggested replies to guest questions, an auto-generated FAQ from your listing, and saved answers — respond in seconds, not evenings.
See the inbox →Direct Payments
Stripe, DOKU, PayPal or bank transfer — guests pay you directly, in your currency, on your terms. We never touch the money.
Payment options →Your Booking Site
A beautiful direct-booking page at bukavilla.com/your-name — searchable, multi-language, and yours to share anywhere.

They take a cut. We take nothing.
What a 0% cut means on a $2,000 stay
Illustrative. Commission varies by market, listing type and programme — these are typical owner-side rates. On Bukavilla nothing is deducted, which is the room an owner uses to offer you a direct-booking discount.
No subscription, no commission, no per-booking fee. Free while we grow.
Why it's free
No catch, and no card.
Bukavilla is early. More villas and more guests are worth more to us right now than subscription revenue — so we would rather you spend nothing and stay. Hosts who join now are founding hosts: you help shape what we build, and if we ever introduce a paid plan, you will hear about it well in advance.
See what Bukavilla costs →- Do owners pay commission?
- No — 0%. Guests book direct with you and you keep your full rate.
- Are there fees for guests?
- None. No service fee, no markup — a guest pays the owner's price.
- What's the catch?
- There isn't one. No paid placement in search, no upsell tier, and no fee attached to a booking.
Send us guests, earn a commission — paid by the host.
