We are happy to announce our integration with bnbfinder as a new first-class book-direct channel partner, offering free listings with no commitment!

Who is bnbfinder?

bnbfinder is a vacation rental platform built for property managers with a direct booking model and dramatically lower pricing. bnbfinder promotes your brand to travelers while you own the guest relationship. bnbfinder is a low, flat, monthly subscription instead of expensive commission, transaction, and service fees - saving you and the traveler money.

bnbfinder’s direct booking model means you can communicate directly with the guest via phone, email, text, etc., before, during, and after the booking, increasing your conversion rate and likelihood of repeat guests while also allowing you to deliver the industry-leading hospitality property managers are known for. bnbfinder promotes your brand on the home page, search pages, individual property listing pages, and on your very own dedicated property manager landing page. This increases your brand awareness and creates brand loyalty in a way that other marketplaces cannot.

The team at bnbfinder is full of industry veterans and insiders that have founded travel companies such as BedandBreakfast.com and Turnkey Vacation Rentals. They are tired of the high commissions and service fees in the industry and decided to create an alternative that gives the control and money back to the property managers and homeowners.

Thanks for this. Unfortunately half of the amenities, max occupancy, check-in, check-out times and many things like rates (even no min. max. ) are not being transferred.

Map coordinates also didn’t go and the spot they mark using the address is not accurate, cannot be changed. They do not have any calendar at all (no date search), rates show only min-max (which is also blank). OR says it syncs availability, rates etc. but it is a pretty dumb listing site without any capabilities. They do not even have date search Once you publish the listing, you cannot change it without unpublishing so I doubt that API will. They also link to your site with ‘noreferrer’ tag so that you will not know or measure how many visitors/value they passed.

Hi Yavuz,

Thank you for taking the time to share feedback on your initial experience with the OwnerRez/bnbfinder integration.

Since the original announcement, updates made to the integration have resolved some of the key concerns you mentioned, including ‘date search’ support. The API will now automatically pull your calendar availability, allowing travelers to include dates in their original search.

Additionally, we wanted to mention that static content is synced daily and the API will automatically pull supported data without the need to unpublish/republish your listings. This will ensure that your listing content is kept up to date on bnbfinder.

Static content that is not currently supported can be manually updated through the bnbfinder dashboard and as we add more functionality to the site, we hope to support additional features like rates and other amenities in the near future - all of which would automatically sync.

We know how important it is to have a seamless experience for users on our site and we will continue to drive improvements that provide more functionality to you.

We’re so excited for the opportunity to work with you and if you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at support@bnbfinder.com and we will be more than happy to assist.
