A Smoobu alternative
Looking for rental software that charges no commission, answers you in your own language and starts at 9 euro a month? Bookedin is the lighter alternative: a bookable calendar on your own website, payment at the booking, and a calendar that stays in step with Airbnb and Booking.com.

When you are ready for something lighter
Smoobu is built as a channel manager: software that spreads your listing across many booking platforms at once and keeps them in sync. That is worth a lot if you are on ten channels and that is where your revenue comes from. But plenty of hosts are set up differently: one or a few properties, two or three channels, and above all the wish to rent out more directly.
For that situation a full channel manager quickly becomes more than you need. What you are looking for is a calendar on your own website where guests pick their dates and pay straight away, plus an iCal link so your existing platforms never double book. That is exactly what Bookedin does, and not a great deal more.
So weigh up which features you genuinely use. If you actively sync rates across eight channels, a lighter system is a step backwards. If your listing sits mainly on Airbnb and Booking.com and you want to depend on them less, that is precisely the problem Bookedin solves.
Calendar on your own site
One snippet of code on your page and visitors see which nights are free, pick their dates and pay directly. Works on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace and Webflow.
Connected by iCal
Import and export bookings with Airbnb, Booking.com and Micazu, so your availability stays identical everywhere.
Deposits and security
Let guests pay part up front. Security deposit, cleaning and tourist tax go into the same booking.
Three reasons to switch
No commission, a fixed amount
You pay per month or per year and keep your full booking amount. A full season costs you nothing extra, and you know in advance what you are spending.
Support that answers
Bookedin comes from Dwingeloo in the Netherlands. Questions are answered in Dutch or English, and someone will look at your setup with you.
Quick to set up
Create a calendar, enter your rates, paste the code on your site. Most hosts are online the same day.
Where the difference sits
Two different starting points, and therefore two different tools.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on what you are after. If you rent out a handful of properties and mainly want direct bookings through your own website, Bookedin is a lighter alternative: a bookable calendar on your site, payment at the booking, an iCal link with Airbnb and Booking.com, and a fixed amount per month with no commission. If you run a large park and genuinely need heavy channel management, check whether you actually use those features before you switch.
No. You pay a fixed amount per month or per year and keep your full booking amount. A busy season costs you nothing extra with Bookedin. The plans are Starter 9 euro, Business 18 euro and Enterprise 59 euro per month, excluding VAT. See the pricing page.
Yes. Through an iCal link you import bookings from Airbnb, Booking.com, Micazu and other platforms, and export your own bookings the same way. That keeps your availability identical everywhere and stops a night being sold twice.
You create a calendar, enter your rates and your minimum stay, and paste a snippet of code on your website. After that you connect your existing platforms by iCal. Most hosts are online the same day; the bulk of the time goes into entering your rates.
No. Channel managers are built around overnight stays. Bookedin counts days and stock, so it also works for equipment, boats, bikes and rooms that you hire out by the hour or by the day.
