The reservation book for independent stays
When you're not at the desk, your site still takes the booking
They found you on Booking.com or Airbnb, then wrote to your site after dinner. If nobody answers, they go back and book there. The chat answers when you can't. The booking box takes the dates, the room and the card. Your name is on the door.
The widget on your site is free, or a full website from £12.99 a month. 5% on bookings taken through HolidayFox. No joining fee.
Or try the chat — ask about next weekend →Same chat that would sit on your site. Ask it about dates.

What this is
The reservation book for independent stays
A restaurant doesn't send you to a marketplace to book the table. Your room, cottage or pitch shouldn't either.
We are not another Booking.com. Keep Airbnb, Booking.com and Pitchup for people who don't know you yet. The booking happens on your site.
Your website is the book
The chat answers when you can't. The booking box takes the dates, the room and the card. Your name is on the door.
The network is how they find you
A listing on holidayfox.com, a feed into Google, a site assistants can quote. Extra doors. Same booking — with you.
Written for people who run the place
If one of these is your evening, this is for you
We are not another Booking.com. Keep Airbnb, Booking.com and Pitchup for people who don't know you yet. The booking happens on your site. The guest who wants your place books with you, on your website.
B&Bs, guesthouses and inns
You're making up rooms or sitting down to dinner. The enquiry comes in. By morning they've booked on Booking.com.
Cottages and holiday lets
You don't live on site. Airbnb now takes about 15%. The people who email you still can't pay on your own website.
Campsites and glamping
Pitchup is how a lot of them found you. If your own site can't take the pitch, they finish the booking there.
Small and boutique hotels
Reception can't cover every hour. Repeat guests still land on Booking.com because your site won't take the card.
Your kind of stay
If it looks like your place, you're in the right spot
Treehouses and canal boats too. Each page is about how guests book you — not another marketplace.

They book with you
They write their name in your book
This is the real booking box, the way it sits on a partner's own site. Guests pick dates, see what's actually free, and pay here. They never leave for someone else's checkout.
- What's free comes from your own diary
- They pay on your site — you keep the guest
- We drop it onto the site you have, or WordPress
Three steps
The book, the door, the booking
Step 1
The book sits on your website
Chat and booking box on the site you have — or we host the whole thing. Your name on the door.
Step 2
People can still find you
Your site, holidayfox.com, Google. Extra doors. They don't check out on someone else's page.
Step 3
They book you. You keep the guest.
5% on bookings taken through HolidayFox, instead of the typical 15% marketplace cut.
What changes for you
The evening enquiry stops leaking
Someone answers when you can't
The 8pm email, the guest writing in another currency, the question about the dog. The chat checks what's free and helps them book — try it at the top of this page.
They pay on your website
Dates, the room or the pitch, the card — on your site. In the widget or in the chat. Not a page with someone else's name on it.
They can still find you
A listing on holidayfox.com, a feed into Google's hotel results, and a site that assistants can quote. Extra doors, same booking.
The diary stays in one place
Calendar and iCal sync with Airbnb and Booking.com, guest messages, self check-in, payments and tomorrow's arrivals.
Found without giving the booking away
More doors into your own site
Every extra place a guest can find you is a booking that can pay 5% instead of Booking.com or Airbnb's typical 15%. They stack. The share that comes through your own site grows.
Where your bookings come from
IllustrativeYour own website
The booking box and the chat turn people already on your site into a booking with you.
holidayfox.com
A listing next to other independent stays — guests who want a place like yours, booking with you.
Google Hotels
A feed into Google Hotels — where guests compare and book — with no per-click fee.
AI assistants
Built to be found and quoted by AI assistants as they start planning trips for guests.
What a cottage owner keeps
Same twelve bookings. Different cut.
Booking.com, Airbnb and Pitchup typically take 12.5–17.5%. HolidayFox is 5% commission on bookings taken through HolidayFox — and only when the guest books with you, on your site.
Example · Cottage / holiday home
£1,800
12 bookings/month at £150 average
Booking.com at 15%
£270
Commission on that revenue
HolidayFox at 5%
£90
That's £180 more left in the cottage that month
Example only — Booking.com rate is a published typical figure (checked 2026-08-28), not a quote for your property. Widget monthly fee is £0.

Owners usually ask
Will this replace Booking.com? Do I need to be technical?
Are you another Booking.com?
No. Booking.com is a marketplace. HolidayFox is the reservation book on your own website — plus extra ways to be found that still end in a booking with you. Keep the listings you already have.
How much does it cost?
free for the widget, or from £12.99/month for a full website plus 5% commission on bookings taken through HolidayFox. There is no joining fee and you can cancel anytime. See the pricing section for what each tier includes.
Do I need technical knowledge?
No. Adding the widget is a single snippet, or we build the whole site for you. Day-to-day booking management is done through a straightforward dashboard.
Will HolidayFox work with my existing Airbnb / Booking.com listings?
Yes. HolidayFox works alongside your existing channels rather than replacing them. Keep your listings on Airbnb, Booking.com, Pitchup and others while adding HolidayFox as a direct booking channel on your own site.
Do you integrate with iCal calendars?
Yes. Full iCal sync keeps availability aligned across platforms to prevent double bookings, whether a booking comes from HolidayFox, Airbnb, Booking.com or another channel.
