Airbnb only, or Houslr too
Airbnb brings guests. That stays the same, with Houslr too. The difference is what you do with those guests: the second booking direct, without 15 percent, under your own terms and with your own admin.
| Houslr | Airbnb only | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | 0 percent on direct bookings | 15 percent or more, or a guest fee |
| Guest details | Yours | Airbnb’s |
| Your own terms | Yes | Airbnb’s |
| Tourist tax | Calculated and reported per municipality | Sometimes remitted by Airbnb, often not |
| Invoices and guest register | Automatic | Keep them yourself |
| Calendar | One calendar with Airbnb in it | Airbnb only |
Keep Airbnb for new guests and let regulars book with you. One direct weekend a month already pays for Houslr.
When the other one is a better fit
Airbnb alone is enough if you rent out a few times a year and do not expect returning guests.
Airbnb commissions according to their own website on 12 October 2026; they vary by country and setting.
