Smoobu: a booking engine you embed on your own pages

Smoobu says it’s built for vacation rental owners, short-term hosts and property managers, from one rental to a handful.

1. 01

   The embedded booking engine

   Smoobu gives you embed code for all your properties or for a single property, which you paste into your own page.

2. 02

   A Book Now link

   Link a button on your site to a standalone Smoobu booking page instead of embedding it.

3. 03

   The availability calendar

   Shows open dates on your property page. It’s for display only, so pair it with the booking engine or a Book Now link.

With the embed, guests book inside your own page. With a Book Now link, they book on Smoobu’s booking page.

API. Paid accounts can create an API key with read and write access to reservations, rates, availability and properties.

Payments. Stripe, PayPal or bank transfer.

Smoobu lists connections to big travel sites and vacation rental sites.

Big travel sites

• Booking.com
• Expedia

Vacation rental sites

• Airbnb
• Vrbo

Smoobu says it connects to more than 100 booking sites.

Embed the booking engine on each property’s own page, with real photos and details about the area, so guests can read and book in one place. Smoobu doesn’t document link settings for dates, so if you want a custom search bar, ask support first.

Either way, your own pages are what Google and AI tools read and recommend, so that's where the work pays off. I build direct booking websites around the booking software you already have, and I can move a site out of your booking software, redirecting every old page so your rankings carry over.
