How StayLink bnb works
We connect verified hosts with verified guests and step back. No platform in the middle of your booking, no commission on your revenue.
We are a lead source, not a booking platform
Airbnb and VRBO sit between you and your guest for the entire transaction — they own the relationship, control the communication, and take a cut of every dollar. StayLink bnb works differently. We qualify the guest, make the introduction, and get out of the way. You close the booking on your own terms, collect payment however you choose, and build a relationship that lasts beyond a single stay.
For Hosts
From signup to a full direct booking pipeline
Create a Host Account
Develop your profile
Get verified
We review your listing details, property photos, and hosting history. Verified Host status signals to guests that you are a trusted, professional host — not a random listing.
List and verify each property
Add each property to your profile and complete a short video walkthrough. Our team reviews the footage to confirm the space matches your listing — giving guests confidence before they ever reach out, and giving you a Verified Property badge that sets you apart.
Receive qualified leads
When a verified guest is looking for a property in your market, we send you their contact details directly. No bidding, no algorithm, no competing with 200 other listings.
Close the booking your way
Reach out, answer questions, and close the booking on your own terms. Collect payment through your preferred method — Stripe, Venmo, bank transfer, whatever works for you.
Build your direct pipeline
Every guest you close becomes a direct contact. Invite them back, ask for a referral, build a repeat-booking pipeline that belongs to you — not to a platform.
For guests
Find a verified host without the platform markup
Submit your travel request
Tell us your destination, dates, group size, and what you are looking for in a stay. No account required to get started.
Get verified
We do a quick identity and intent check so hosts know you are a real, trustworthy traveler. Verified Guest status means hosts are more likely to respond quickly and offer their best rate.
Get matched with a verified host
We share your request with verified hosts in your destination who match your criteria. You hear back directly — no middleman, no automated messaging.
Book directly with the host
Communicate directly, agree on terms, and book. Because there is no platform taking a cut, hosts can often offer better rates than you would find on an OTA.
Verified hosts. Verified guests.
Trust is the foundation of a direct booking
OTAs use reviews and ratings as a proxy for trust — but those stay on the platform. StayLink bnb verifies both sides before the introduction is made, so every connection starts from a foundation of mutual trust.
