Websites for Irish B&Bs & Guesthouses
Stop paying commission on every room. Let guests find you directly.
Booking.com takes 15%. Your website takes nothing.
Every room booked through Booking.com or Airbnb costs you 15-20% in commission. For a room at EUR 100 a night, that's EUR 15-20 gone before the guest even arrives. Over a season, that adds up to thousands.
The booking platforms are useful for visibility, but they shouldn't be your only channel. When someone Googles "B&B in Westport" or "guesthouse near Killarney", a proper website lets them book direct. They save the platform markup, you keep the full rate. Everyone wins.
A website also gives you control over the first impression. On Booking.com, you're one of thirty listings, competing on price and star ratings. On your own site, the guest sees your rooms, your breakfast, your garden, your story - and picks up the phone.
You don't need online booking software. Most B&B owners prefer a phone call anyway - it lets you check availability, answer questions, and make the guest feel welcome before they've even arrived. A website just makes sure they find your number.
What a B&B website actually needs
Room Details with Photos
Each room shown with real photos, bed size, amenities, and price. Guests see exactly what they're booking before they ring. No surprises on arrival, no back-and-forth emails about whether there's an ensuite.
Direct Contact - No Commission
Phone and email always visible. When a guest books through Booking.com you lose 15-20%. When they find you on Google and ring directly, you keep every cent. The website pays for itself with one direct booking a month.
Check-in, Check-out & Breakfast
Arrival and departure times displayed clearly so guests don't have to ask. Breakfast hours and what's included - the full Irish, continental, dietary options. Saves you answering the same questions every week.
Local Area Information
Walking routes, nearby restaurants, local attractions. Guests planning a trip use this to decide whether your location works for them. A B&B near the Wild Atlantic Way can say so - and show it.
Accessibility & Parking
Ground floor rooms, wheelchair access, free parking, pet policy. The details that make or break a booking for specific guests. Displayed upfront so the right guests find you.
Updated Via WhatsApp
Room booked out for the weekend? Seasonal price change? New photos of the garden room? Send us a WhatsApp and it's updated. No logging into anything, no tech skills required.

Why Irish B&Bs need their own website
Tourism in Ireland is booming, but the platforms are taking a bigger cut every year. Booking.com increased commission rates twice in the last three years. Airbnb's service fees keep climbing. Every percentage point costs you real money across a full season.
Your own website isn't about replacing the platforms - it's about having a second channel. Guests who find you on Booking.com often Google you before they book, looking for more photos and reviews. If they land on your website and can book direct, many will. You save the commission, they often get a better rate.
The B&Bs that already have their own websites are building a direct guest list. Repeat visitors bookmark the site, not the platform. That's a relationship you own - not one you're renting from Booking.com.
