Answer these questions to see your potential savings
Tip: Calculate as nightly rate × average stay length (e.g., $200/night × 3 nights = $600)
Industry average: 15-20% (includes both host and guest fees)
GuestLoop average: 90-95% (guests provide email to access guidebook)
Industry average: 10-15% for hosts with email marketing
Give guests a beautiful digital guidebook that requires an email to access. 90%+ capture rate is standard with this approach.
Every guest who stays becomes part of your marketing list. Own the relationship, not the OTA.
Quarterly "we miss you" emails, seasonal offers, last-minute deals. 10-15% direct booking discounts still net you more profit than OTA bookings.
Year 1: Recover $2,000-3,000. Year 2: $4,000-6,000. Year 3: $8,000+. Your list grows every year, so your savings multiply.
Yes. The default assumptions (90% email capture, 12% rebooking rate) are based on actual GuestLoop host data and industry benchmarks. Conservative hosts see 8-10% rebooking, aggressive hosts see 15-20%+.
Not at all! Direct bookings are a parallel revenue stream. Keep using OTAs for new guest acquisition, then capture those guests and market to them for repeat stays. Best of both worlds.
Most hosts get their first direct booking within 60-90 days. Year 1 is about building your list. Year 2 is when the compound effect kicks in and savings accelerate significantly.
Adjust the slider in "Advanced Settings" to see your custom scenario. Even at 8% rebooking rate, most hosts still recover $1,500-2,500/year. Every direct booking is pure savings.
