Why direct bookings work
Guests book from your website or WhatsApp without paying a platform cut on every reservation.
Most custom hospitality sites go live fast with a clear structure, property story, and direct booking flow.
WhatsApp, AI-assisted replies, and local visibility keep your property active even outside business hours.
Why hospitality owners choose Farvigo
Reduce the dependence on OTAs and keep more revenue from every stay, without building a complicated, expensive hotel stack.
Every site is built with Google visibility and local search in mind, so nearby travellers can find your property faster.
Clear property pages, direct contact channels, and strong reviews help guests feel confident before they book.
From launch to monthly optimisation, we keep the site, Google profile, and guest flow healthy as your property grows.
Search visibility + booking flow
Farvigo combines custom hospitality design with monthly local SEO work, review management, and direct booking infrastructure so travellers not only find you, but trust you enough to choose you.

Testimonials
"Farvigo did a really great job with the website for Himalayan Nest, Bir Billing. They understood our property and the kind of experience we want to offer our guests, and the website represents it beautifully.
What I liked most is that they didn't stop at designing a website. They helped us build a proper online presence with SEO, Google visibility and a smooth booking system. The website is easy to use and makes it much easier for guests to find us and book directly.
Very happy with the work and support from the Farvigo team. Highly recommended."
"We have been running Varun Homestay in Barot since 2008. Most of our bookings always came through references, word of mouth and phone calls. Even though we had 43+ five-star reviews on Google, our online presence was very limited.
Farvigo has helped us change that completely. They made our website, online booking and payment system, and the AI chatbot has been especially useful for answering guest queries.
They also worked on our Google SEO and overall online presence, and we can already see a good improvement in our Google visibility and bookings.
Very happy with their work. Thank you Farvigo team!"
Transparent Pricing
A website alone doesn't bring bookings. Every plan is a one-time build, then a monthly plan where we keep working on your Google listing, reviews and local search so more guests find you and book direct. Domain registration is billed separately at registrar cost and stays in your name.
Even one extra direct booking a month can often cover the monthly plan for a property.
How payments work: Growth connects your property to an online payment gateway. Farvigo does not take a commission on your direct bookings; gateway charges and settlement timing depend on the payment provider and your account.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we hear most often.
Yes — homestays and boutique hotels are our primary focus. We won't sell you enterprise hotel software you'll never use.
Essential is a ₹9,999 one-time build plus ₹999/month for a simple one-page site. Starter is ₹19,999 plus ₹1,999/month, and Growth, with a full booking engine and online payments, is ₹29,999 plus ₹2,999/month. On Starter and Growth, the monthly plan is where we keep working on your Google listing, reviews and local search so guests keep finding you. OTA commission rates vary by platform, agreement, and property — but every booking that comes direct instead of through an OTA keeps that margin with you. For most properties, a handful of extra direct bookings a month covers the monthly plan many times over.
No. Farvigo does not replace OTAs. It gives you another booking channel that you own. You can continue using Booking.com, Airbnb and other platforms while building your direct booking business alongside them.
Yes — many of our projects are redesigns of outdated or slow sites, keeping your domain and branding where it makes sense.
5–7 days for Essential builds and 7–10 days for Starter & Growth sites. Growth booking engines and multi-property work can take longer — we'll give you a clear timeline upfront.
Yes — we handle domain, hosting, and business email setup for you. The domain itself is billed separately at registrar cost with no markup (standard .com/.in domains are charged annually; premium or short domain names are quoted before purchase), and it's always registered in your own name, not ours.
Yes. If you run more than one property, we'll work out the right price together on a call.
We reply within a few hours during business hours (Mon–Sat, 10am–7pm IST) — Email us anytime and we'll get back to you fast.
You can cancel the monthly plan anytime by revoking the UPI Autopay, card, or eNACH mandate from your bank or UPI app — no lock-in contract. The monthly plan covers hosting and the ongoing Google, reviews and local search work. If you cancel, Essential and Starter sites can be handed over to your own hosting; for a Growth booking engine, we'll agree the handover with you on a call. Your domain is always registered in your own name and account, not ours, so you keep it either way.
Still have a question we didn't cover? ask us directly by email — no form required.
The Problem
OTAs like Booking.com, Airbnb, and MakeMyTrip charge commission on every booking — rates vary by platform, agreement, and property, typically 15–25%, and higher still for standalone properties in some platforms' visibility programs. On top of the margin, you stay dependent on their platforms for visibility and never own the guest relationship.
Select a quick preset or adjust sliders to see your exact direct booking savings potential.
Estimates based on typical 15–20% OTA commission rates; actual savings vary with your direct booking conversion rate and seasonal occupancy.
10 direct bookings a month instead of through OTAs keeps thousands in booking commissions with your business every month — paying back your website investment in weeks.
On 19 October 2022, India's Competition Commission fined MakeMyTrip–Goibibo ₹223.48 crore and OYO ₹168.88 crore, ruling their price-parity clauses an abuse of dominant market position. Read the full breakdown, with sources →

A template costs less upfront. A freelancer works if you already know exactly what to build. Farvigo costs a little more, but builds everything around getting you direct bookings from day one.
From the Founder
I've spent years travelling through Himachal, Uttarakhand, and small hill towns across India — riding through the mountains and staying in homestays and boutique properties exactly like the ones I now build for.
Everywhere I went, I heard the same story from owners: a guest finds them on Booking.com or MakeMyTrip, the OTA takes 15–25% of the booking value, and the property never even gets the guest's contact details to bring them back directly next time.
Farvigo exists to fix that one problem — a website and booking system that puts the property, not the OTA, at the center of every guest relationship.
