Direct booking in India

Direct booking websites for stays in India

India's independent stays — Goa guesthouses, Kerala backwater homestays, Rajasthan havelis, Himalayan boutique hotels — give an OTA a cut of stays it didn't earn. PeakRooms gives you a booking website of your own, in rupees, so guests book direct and the relationship stays yours.

See what OTAs cost you

A ₹7,500 night on an OTA pays you ₹6,375 — ₹1,125 to commission, at a typical 15%. On your own website it pays you ₹7,500: 0% commission, on every plan.

The short answer

PeakRooms gives an independent Indian property — a Goa guesthouse, a Kerala homestay, a Rajasthan haveli, a Himachal boutique hotel — its own direct-booking website, priced in rupees and built to take bookings the way India books: a tap to chat on WhatsApp, or a card payment. You keep the 15–25% an OTA like MakeMyTrip, Booking.com, or Agoda takes on every stay, own the guest relationship, and start free — the commission-free direct channel for India's homestays, guesthouses, and boutique hotels.

Direct booking in India

Indian travellers compare on MakeMyTrip, Booking.com, or Agoda and arrange the rest on WhatsApp — the country is the world's largest WhatsApp market. A direct booking website priced in rupees, with a WhatsApp chat one tap from every room, is exactly how your guests already prefer to book — and it keeps the OTA's commission with you.

  • WhatsApp-first, the way India books

    The homestay conversation already lives on WhatsApp — your booking website just starts it one tap sooner. Request-to-book turns the chat into a confirmed stay, with no OTA in the middle.

    MakeMyTrip, Booking.com and Agoda take a commission on every stay. Direct through PeakRooms there's none — the rupees a guest pays are yours to keep.

  • Free to start, your own domain later

    Launch on a free PeakRooms address and add your own domain when you're ready — a real booking website from day one.

Questions owners in India ask

Can I price in rupees (INR)?
Yes. You set your rates in Indian rupees and that's exactly what guests see and pay — no conversion or OTA markup in between.
Most of my guests are on WhatsApp — does that work?
Perfectly. Every room has a one-tap WhatsApp enquiry and you reply to confirm the stay. You can also take instant card payments with Book & pay. Both are commission-free.
Can I still use MakeMyTrip or Booking.com?
Yes. Keep the OTAs for reach and use PeakRooms as your own direct channel to take repeat and referral bookings commission-free. Until channel sync lands (it's on the roadmap), block booked dates on your other channels so a direct booking never overlaps an OTA one.
