Turn one-off Airbnb guests into direct bookings
Since June 2026 most UK Airbnb hosts pay a 15.5% host fee, and with VAT on top it costs most small hosts about 18.6% of every booking. Every guest who books you directly next time keeps that money in your pocket. HostSorted gives you the tools to make it happen.
Direct booking tools are included in the Host, Pro and Agency plans and the free trial, alongside your property website.
Past guests who asked to hear from you
Guests can tick "email me offers" when they book on your website or sign your house rules. They appear on your Past guests page, and you can add others who have agreed. UK law says you need permission to email offers, so it is built in, with an unsubscribe link in every email.
A "book direct" email in a minute
Write a short note and we fill in each guest’s first name, your returning-guest code and your website link. Replies come straight to you.
- One email to past guests every 24 hours, so nobody is bombarded
- Only guests of one property, or everyone
- Unsubscribes are honoured automatically
Returning-guest codes
Set a code like WELCOMEBACK and a discount. Guests enter it on your website and the money comes off the nightly price, so returning feels like a reward.
Gap-night deals, found for you
Short gaps between bookings are hard to fill and often sit empty. HostSorted finds one, two or three night gaps in your calendars and offers them on your website at a discount you choose, even below your usual minimum stay.
Deposits without the admin
Choose a deposit and add a Stripe, PayPal or SumUp payment link, or your bank details. When you accept a request, the guest’s email shows exactly what to pay and how. Mark it paid when it arrives. HostSorted never handles the money.
See what you saved
Every direct booking you accept through your HostSorted website is counted, with an estimate of the Airbnb fee you did not pay. It adds up fast.
