Your Simple Path to Direct Bookings
Not every holiday rental host needs a full-scale direct booking website. But every host should have somewhere professional to send a guest who wants to book direct.
RezStar is a simple, affordable direct booking solution from Stay Sava, designed particularly for smaller short-term rental hosts who want the benefits of direct bookings without the cost, complexity or ongoing management of building their own booking website.
RezStar gives your property its own professional booking page where guests can check availability, select dates and guests, view pricing and make a booking.
It becomes your direct booking destination — a link you can use wherever potential guests discover your property.
Turn More Enquiries Into Direct Bookings
RezStar opens up direct-booking opportunities that many smaller hosts currently miss.
If you want to advertise your property on Stay Sava, guests need somewhere to go to make the booking. If you don't already have a direct booking website, RezStar provides the solution.
When someone discovers your property through Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or another social platform, instead of sending them to an OTA, you can send them directly to your RezStar booking page.
The same applies to returning guests. Rather than asking previous guests to find you again through Airbnb, Stayz or another OTA, simply give them your RezStar link and allow them to book with you directly.
RezStar can also help with an increasingly important guest behaviour: brand searching. A traveller may first discover your accommodation on an OTA and then search your property or business name online before booking. Larger short-term rental operators have benefited from having their own direct-booking presence for years. RezStar gives smaller operators a practical way to start doing the same.
More Than Just a Booking Page
RezStar helps you begin building something valuable — your own direct-booking channel.
Instead of every enquiry and returning guest being directed back through an OTA, RezStar gives you a booking destination associated with your property and your brand. It can be promoted on social media, email signatures, business cards, QR codes, guest communications and future marketing campaigns.
For hosts using the underlying OwnerRez integration, another significant opportunity is Google Vacation Rentals. Google currently lists OwnerRez as a vacation-rental connectivity partner, and OwnerRez supports sending Google Vacation Rentals booking traffic to an OwnerRez hosted website or landing page for direct bookings.
OwnerRez also provides channel-management capabilities that can centralise availability across connected booking channels, helping reduce the need to manually maintain separate calendars.
A Stepping Stone to Booking Direct
RezStar isn't intended to replace a sophisticated website for hosts who need one.
It's designed to solve a different problem: giving smaller hosts an easy way to start accepting and promoting direct bookings now.
Your RezStar page can help you:
- Advertise your property on Stay Sava
- Accept bookings generated through social media
- Convert returning guests into direct guests
- Capture guests who search for your brand after discovering you on an OTA
- Build recognition for your own property or accommodation brand
- Create one simple booking link to use across your marketing
- Reduce reliance on OTAs for repeat and self-generated business
- Potentially access Google Vacation Rentals through the OwnerRez integration
- Keep availability coordinated with connected booking channels through OwnerRez
- Start building a direct-booking business without first investing in a complete website
