Direct booking websites for stays in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka's independent stays — Galle Fort villas, Ella tea-country guesthouses, Kandy boutique hotels, south-coast homestays — give away a slice of high season and low season alike. PeakRooms gives you a booking website of your own, in rupees, so guests book direct and you keep the rate.
A LKR 32,000 night on an OTA pays you LKR 27,200 — LKR 4,800 to commission, at a typical 15%. On your own website it pays you LKR 32,000: 0% commission, on every plan.

The short answer
PeakRooms gives an independent Sri Lankan property — a Galle Fort villa, an Ella hill guesthouse, a Kandy boutique hotel, a south-coast homestay — its own direct-booking website, priced in rupees and built to take bookings the way Sri Lanka books: a tap to chat on WhatsApp, or a card payment. You keep the 15–20% an OTA like Booking.com or Agoda takes on every stay, own the guest relationship, and start free — the commission-free direct channel for Sri Lanka's villas, guesthouses, and boutique hotels.
Direct booking in Sri Lanka
Travellers compare on Booking.com and Agoda, then arrange the details — the driver, the check-in time, the tuk-tuk from the station — over WhatsApp, where Sri Lankan trip-planning already lives. A direct booking website priced in rupees, with WhatsApp one tap from every room, is exactly how your guests already book, and it keeps the OTA's commission with you.

Questions owners in Sri Lanka ask
- Can my rates be in Sri Lankan rupees (LKR)?
- Yes. You set your rates in Sri Lankan rupees, and that's exactly what a guest sees and pays — no conversion and no OTA markup in between.
- Most of my guests message on WhatsApp — does that work?
- It's built for it. Every room has a one-tap WhatsApp enquiry — the way you'd already sort the driver and the check-in time — and you reply to confirm. Book & pay can take a card up front too, both commission-free.
- Can I still use Booking.com or Agoda?
- Yes. Keep Booking.com and Agoda for reach, and use PeakRooms as your own rupee-priced, commission-free channel for the guests you win direct.
