What a bed and breakfast website actually needs

A bed and breakfast website does one of two jobs: it takes direct room reservations and syncs calendars, or it acts as a showcase page that sends guests to your existing booking listings. Either way, people want clear room photos, house rules, directions, and an obvious button to check dates or get in touch.

On Heya, you can upload up to 200 images per site, embed a Google Map or YouTube tour, and add up to 6 buttons or 50 links pointing to your Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com pages. If you want a multi-page site with a blog, ecommerce, and analytics, Wix and Squarespace have those built in, while Lodgify, OwnerRez, and Hospitable handle direct payments and OTA calendar blocking.

When a dedicated B&B platform is worth paying for

If you rent several rooms across Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com, updating calendars by hand risks double bookings, which is where API channel managers and unified inboxes help. Lodgify includes both from $14 per month (with a 20% discount), and adds its website builder, direct booking engine, and payment gateway (with a 1% transaction fee) on Starter at $26 per month with a 20% discount.

Hospitable puts channel syncing and a unified inbox on its free Essentials plan for unlimited properties, while its Direct Booking Website and payment collection require the Professional plan at $51.92 per month. OwnerRez charges no commissions on its sliding-scale per-property plans and offers Hosted Websites and a WordPress Plugin as paid extras, or you can embed a Lodgify widget on Squarespace.

Free vs paid options for bed and breakfast owners

If you don't want to spend money upfront, Hospitable, Wix, and Heya have permanent free plans instead of timed trials. Hospitable's free Essentials plan covers messaging and calendar syncing for unlimited properties, but no website. Wix's Free plan ($0) gives you 1000's of templates with Wix branding, and removing branding with a custom domain starts at $17 per month (billed yearly in full) on Light.

Heya's Free plan ($0) gives you up to 3 sites with up to 5 pages each at yourname.heya.bio, and Pro Lite ($3 a month) removes the Made with Heya badge. Lodgify (7-day free trial), OwnerRez (14-day free trial), and Squarespace (14-day free trial) require paid plans after trying, and unlike Squarespace ($19 per month), Wix ($17 per month), and yearly Lodgify Starter plans ($26 per month with a 20% discount), Heya includes 1 custom domain per account on Pro Standard for $6 a month (up to 5 sites).

How to set up a bed and breakfast showcase page on Heya

If you already run your calendar and payments through Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, or a free Hospitable Essentials account, you can use Heya for a quick showcase page. You can start in your browser without an account, even on your phone, and pick from our 68 templates with 42 fonts, 14 theme presets, and a 5-color palette.

Use heading, text, and image blocks for your rooms and breakfast menu, embed a Google Map or YouTube walkthrough, and add up to 6 buttons or 50 links to your reservation pages, plus a socials block. Sign in with Google to publish for $0 at yourname.heya.bio, pay $3 a month for Pro Lite to drop the badge and get up to 20 pages per site, or pay $6 a month for Pro Standard to connect your own custom domain.
