Where direct bookings leak
8 places your guests slip away
Most owners don't need more traffic. They need fewer exits between Google and checkout. These are the ones we find on almost every teardown. Hover a leak and Bandit swipes it.

The math
What the 15.5% costs you
Airbnb's host-only fee went to 15.5% in late 2025. Move a slice of that revenue to your own site and keep the difference, minus about 3% for card processing.
Fees you keep per year

Mascot on duty
Meet Bandit.
Head of Guest Recovery.
Masked, patient, never in a hurry. Bandit finds the guests your site lets slip away and walks them back to your own booking page.
- Field note 01Guests don't hate booking direct. They hate guessing if it's safe.
- Field note 02The book button was in the footer. The guests were not.
- Field note 03Airbnb keeps the guest list. Your site should keep a copy.
Bandit's the mascot. Abhimanyu does the work. I'm the founder of LodgePNW. I build and fix direct-booking sites for independent PNW stays, and I answer every email myself.
The guarantee
Clearer path,
or we keep working.
If your booking path isn't measurably clearer when we hand it over, we keep going until it is. We guarantee the work we control: faster mobile pages, fewer taps to dates, a working book-direct offer. We don't promise booking numbers, and you should be wary of anyone who does.
Guaranteed
Do I have to leave Airbnb?
No. Most owners keep Airbnb and VRBO for discovery. We make sure the guests who find you anyway, and the ones who come back, book on your own site.
Will you replace my booking engine or PMS?
No. We work with the engine you already run, like OwnerRez, Lodgify, Hostaway or Guesty, and fix the path that leads to it.
How fast is it?
Your teardown video lands within 2 business days. The Direct Booking Fix takes 10 business days from kickoff.
What do you need from me?
Website and booking-engine logins, your best photos, and about 2 hours of your time across the project. We handle the rest.
What does it cost?
The teardown is free. The Fix starts at $1,500 fixed price, and the first 2 owners this season get it for $750 in exchange for a case study.
Which areas do you cover?
Independent stays across Washington, Oregon and North Idaho, from Lake Chelan and Leavenworth to Cannon Beach and Bend. Everything is done remotely, so if you're just outside the map, ask.
