Unusual stays

Software for treehouses and bubbles, built around weekend evenings.

The planning, the extras, the gift vouchers and the messages in one place, whether guests come through Airbnb, Booking, a gift box or direct.

A treehouse in an oak tree in the Périgord

What gets stuck during the week.

  • “Does the tub work in winter? Is the treehouse heated?” The same questions every evening, while you're heating the tub.
  • Tomorrow's basket, tonight's tub, the firewood to drop off. It's all in your head, and one slip ruins a couple's evening.
  • A night sold through a gift box means a quarter of the price goes elsewhere.
  • Last year's gift vouchers sleep in a drawer, and you no longer know which ones were used.
  • The weekend is full, the week is empty, and in winter the treehouse doesn't get rented.
  • A couple from Leuven arrives tomorrow. Their police registration form, you think of it at the last minute.

The site, day to day.

The planning

Four stays, one view.

One line per stay, one bar per booking, one colour per way of booking. Direct, Airbnb, Booking or gift box. A stay opens up: who, how many nights, the extras taken, the gift voucher used, the tourist tax, the police registration form.

You follow everything in the app, on the computer or the phone.

What to prepare

The tub, the firewood, the basket.

The day's screen lists the departures, the arrivals and what each guest took as an extra. The Nordic hot tub to heat before 4 pm, the firewood to drop off, tomorrow morning's breakfast baskets, with the diets. Guests add their extras online before arriving, and the price follows.

What goes in the basket is up to you: what you offer, nothing more.

Gift vouchers

Sold on your site, no gift box needed.

The client picks the stay, pays online and gets a code. The person who receives it enters it when booking. The tool refuses a voucher that was already used or not paid. Vouchers that were never used stay at the top of the screen.

The guest pays for the voucher by card on your site, the money goes to your account.

The tourist tax

The total to pay over, worked out.

The tool adds up the tax collected since the last payment, at your town's rate, and reminds you of the deadline. It calculates, you file the declaration.

The rate is set to your town's.

And for every site.

Messages

The auto-reply, for the same old questions.

A guest writes on WhatsApp or by email, in French, English or Dutch. The assistant answers in his language with your stays that are really free and their price, answers about access, parking, the tub and the basket, and books direct. It goes quiet as soon as you write.

WhatsApp and email.

Direct booking

Book with the extras and the voucher.

The guest picks his dates, sees the free stays with their price, adds the basket, the tub or the firewood, enters his gift voucher if he has one and pays the deposit. He gets the page for his stay, with the path and the key box code.

The guest pays by card, the money goes to your account.

What your year says

What you never have time to look at.

The tool reads your year and tells you plainly. Which stay holds up in winter, what the gift boxes kept, the basket taken by stay, vouchers never used, guests who come back depending on how they booked. With the message ready to send.

The figures are worked out from your planning.

Who to bring in

Guests for the week and the winter.

For the empty nights, the tool suggests a type of guest, why now, the note to send and the ad to post. A small team out in the countryside on weekdays, deer rut outings, clear winter nights, hikers, self-employed people who work from anywhere. The places and events are examples.

You read, you edit, you send. Nothing goes out without you, and the tool promises no result.

The assistant

An assistant that reads your planning.

Between two cleanings, you ask what to prepare tonight, who arrives, which vouchers are still to be used or which stay is free on Saturday. It answers with your data. It books and cancels nothing for you.

In the app, on the computer or the phone.

The questions I get asked.

Can I keep Airbnb, Booking and the gift boxes
Yes. The tool doesn't connect to them. It gives you a calendar address per stay to paste there, and the platforms read it again from time to time. Gift box stays are added to the planning, with the commission you enter.
Does the gift voucher have an end date
Check the rule with your accountant. The tool shows you the vouchers that were never used, so you can follow up with the people who received them.
Does the tool file the tourist tax
No. It calculates the total collected and reminds you of the deadline. You file the declaration and pay it over.
Is the tool in my name
Yes. Your name, your stays, your extras and your prices.

The same, in your name.

Write to me on WhatsApp with how you run your site. I reply within 24 hours.
