The real problem

You don't have a visibility problem. You have an OTA tax.

Guests find you on Booking.com, Airbnb, or TripAdvisor — and every booking costs you 12–18% in commission. Travel Folio gives you one link they can book on directly — with none of that.

The OTA way

Guests scatter across third-party sites. You pay commission on every booking.

Questions you may have

Already have a website?

Travel Folio doesn't replace your site — it adds a listing layer that works harder for search, sharing, and direct bookings.

Your website is your home base. Travel Folio is the shareable listing profile that points back to it and strengthens your visibility elsewhere. Together they do more than either alone:

Quality backlinks — your Travel Folio profile links to your website, building authority that helps you rank on Google.
Structured data (Schema.org) — hotel, room, review, and location markup so search engines understand your property and can show rich results.
A link built for sharing — one URL for agents, WhatsApp, email signatures, brochures, and social posts instead of a long homepage address.
Verified property presentation — rooms, amenities, photos, and reviews in a format guests and travel partners expect.
Direct booking path — guests can book with you without an OTA taking 18% commission.
Local SEO support — optimised for searches like your property name, “hotel in [area]”, and “guesthouse near me”.

No. Think of it as a professional listing page — like a LinkedIn profile for your property. Your main website stays as-is for your brand, blog, and full content. Travel Folio is the link you send when someone asks “where can I see your rooms and book?”

OTAs own the relationship, take commission on every booking, and control how your property looks. Travel Folio is yours — your link, your branding, your direct booking path, and no per-booking commission. You still use OTAs if you want reach; Travel Folio is where you send people to book direct.

We offer three plans: Travel Folio Listing (R159/month) for your verified profile; Listing + Stayvisible (R229/month) which adds directory listings on Travel Stay SA, Book Direct, and onenightin.city; and Complete Solution (R1,500 setup + R489/month) — a WordPress website built for your property, plus hosting, Travel Folio, and Stayvisible. See the packages section for full details.
