About Guest2Host

A catalog of vacation rentals you book directly with the owner, on the owner’s own site.

Why it exists

Owners pay the big platforms 15% or more of every booking, and guests often pay more on top. Many owners already have a site where you can book them directly, but travelers can’t find it. Guest2Host is where those homes are listed, so you can find them and book direct.

How it works

• Owners list their homes for free and keep them up to date themselves.
• Each listing shows the owner’s photos, price and availability, and links to their booking site.
• You book and pay the owner there. We take no fee and never handle payment.

How we make money

Optional services for owners, like building a direct booking site. Never a cut of a booking.

Built for AI assistants

Travelers increasingly plan trips by asking an assistant. Guest2Host has a free connector that lets Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and others search stays, check dates and ask owners questions — add it to yours, or see the developer docs.

Who we are

Guest2Host was started by a vacation rental owner in McMinnville, Oregon, who built it after trying to get guests to book direct. Questions or ideas: get in touch.
