Looking for an app to integrate bookings for my airbnb into my website
reddit / selfhosted

Hey, I’m an app developer. I have an airbnb rental house.

I’m looking for some kind of self hosted app that’ll allow customers
to book the rental (just one property, not multiple rentals), see what
dates are available, and pay on my website. I’d rather not hand code
something from scratch, though I can tinker and install whatever is
needed (DB, via docker, etc.).

Any ideas? Did some searching on this sub and other places - couldn’t
find anything that suits these needs.

This is totally outside my lane, but have you looked into guesty? I'm
not sure how much they charge, but they have an option for 1-3
rentals. As I understand it, AirBNB has an API. But how much is your
time worth to you?

I’d rather have an open source self hosted software that I can use
stripe or some other third party solution for the payments. Thus,
besides for the payment fee - it would be entirely free to manage. For
now I’d rather not use airbnb

Hire someone to do it.

Fair enough. I was searching around and realized that guesty is like
$49/mo for a single property. That's not worth it IMO.

At that point I’d do it myself. Was wondering if there’s already a
solution of some sort

I'm on the same boat. I have 1 property and many recurring customers.
I would love to give them the option of booking independently.

I’ll let you know if I find/make a solution

Couldn’t find anything self hosted that has payments, etc. that I’d
like… but actually, just remembered - I’ve used a service called
17Hats before. They give a free CRM. They charge transaction fees, of
course, but you can embed a calendar, bookings, digital contract
signing - and have it all automated for free. Only charge of course,
is transaction fees…

I think I recall a Joomla or WordPress plugin with reservation-like
functionality.  Try searching into that kind of setup.

Is Wordpress safe enough behind cloudflare tunnel?

I've never used that service but have hosted CMSs for almost 20 years.
Security for those are what you put into it.

Not self-hosted, but Houfy works great for free direct booking. I
personally don’t want to be in the business of handling payments or
the complexities of a booking system with calendar syncing between
platforms.
