Marcus · founder, and a hostFrom one host to another
“I was fed up watching £2,800 a yearwalk out the door. So I built the thing I wanted for my own flat.”
The flat is real — a riverside two-bed in Stirling. Its site is live at stirlingriverview.com and takes direct bookings while I sleep. If you get stuck, it's me who answers the email.

Right — that's the whole point. Drop in your Airbnb link and our AI builds the site for you: your photos, your reviews, colours matched to your property. Tweak anything later from the dashboard, but most hosts ship as-is.
You give us the iCal link from Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo or Sykes. We pull blocked dates every hour and push your direct bookings back the same way — so nothing can double-book.
Direct to your bank via Stripe. We never touch the funds — Stripe pays you in 2 business days. Standard Stripe card fees apply (about 1.5% + 20p), but there's no Hostcation commission on top.
Payment runs through Stripe's hosted checkout — the same Stripe used by Apple and Amazon — and you can use your own domain for extra trust. Guests don't even need to create an account.
No. Keep Airbnb for discovery, and steer repeat guests and word-of-mouth bookings to your own site — so you stop paying commission on people who already know you.
