What's inside the kit

8 files, delivered as an instant zip download right after checkout.

4languages built in

Booking-site template — one file

Gallery with lightbox, price table, a slot for the calendar embed and an inquiry form (works with plain email out of the box, Formspree optional). The built-in EN/DE/FR/ES switcher auto-detects your guest's language. No build step, no dependencies.

iCal

iCal sync reality guide

Official two-way iCal done right: Airbnb and Booking.com to Google Calendar to your page, buffer rules that prevent double bookings, and the platform rules you must respect.

Stripe

Stripe deposit guide

Take deposits without a website checkout: Stripe Payment Links step by step, guest email templates, and three cancellation-policy tiers written in EN, DE, FR and ES.

15.5%the math

Pricing playbook

The 15.5% math in plain numbers: keep your prices and pocket the fee — or drop 10% and still earn more than on the platform. Plus a discount ladder and a season grid.

Straight talk: what iCal can do — and what it can't

We would rather lose a sale than oversell. Before you buy, know exactly how sync works:

Availability only. iCal syncs dates, not nightly rates or minimum stays. Your prices live in one place — your platform listing.
Not instant. Expect roughly 3 hours of lag between platforms. The included buffer rules (e.g. block the night right after a booking) close that gap in practice.
No Airbnb API for individual hosts. The kit uses official iCal export/import only — no grey-area scraping, no bots, nothing that risks your account.
Static page, your accounts. Guests contact you by email (or Formspree) and pay deposits through your own Stripe account. You stay in control of every booking.

Built for hosts with 1–3 listings

Owner-operators, not agencies

You host a room, an apartment or a small guesthouse yourself and want back the margin a platform fee takes — without running PMS software built for 15+ properties.

Subscription-tired

You looked at Lodgify from $18/month or Hospitable's per-booking cut and thought: I need one good page, not another monthly bill.

Multilingual guests

Your guests book in German, French or Spanish — and the big platforms' direct-site builders never truly speak their language. Yours will.

Airbnb-safe by design

Official iCal sync only, your own brand in front. No grey-area tricks that could put your account at risk.

Managing 15+ properties and need channel automation? A full PMS is the honest answer — this kit is deliberately not that.

One price. Then 0%, forever.

Questions, answered honestly

What does the license cover?

One license per buyer (person or company) for listings you own — as many of your own properties as you like. Reselling, sharing or redistributing the files themselves is not covered; each host needs their own license.

Do I pay for updates?

No. Every v1.x update is free: we watch platform fees and iCal policies quarterly, and you can re-download the latest pack from your download page at any time.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Email us within 14 days of purchase and you get a full refund — no forms, no interrogation. We only ask that you tell us what fell short so we can fix it.

Does this replace Airbnb?

No — and it shouldn't. Airbnb stays your discovery and review engine. The kit adds a direct channel alongside it, and iCal keeps both calendars in sync, so direct bookings simply skip the 15.5%.

How technical is the setup?

If you can edit a text file and upload photos, you can launch it: change your texts, swap in your photos, paste one calendar embed line, upload to free hosting (Cloudflare Pages or Netlify). The inquiry form works with plain email out of the box.

Airbnb takes 15.5% of every booking. Your own page takes 0%.
