About Lodgaro
Making vacations more affordable for everyone.
Platform commissions are a hidden tax on travel. We're building the infrastructure to eliminate it — for hosts, for guests, and for the industry.
Mission
Empower hosts to earn more. Help guests pay less.
We build the tools that let vacation rental owners accept direct bookings at 0% commission. By eliminating the platform middleman, hosts keep more of what they earn — and can afford to price their properties more competitively. The result is a better deal for everyone at the table.
Vision
A world where booking direct is the default — and everyone benefits.
Today, booking platforms extract 15–20% from every vacation rental transaction. That cost is invisible to guests — it is already baked into the price. Our vision is a world where this friction is eliminated. If enough hosts operate at 0% commission and price competitively, the average cost of a holiday drops by an estimated 10% worldwide. Hosts earn more. Guests pay less. Destinations thrive. Everyone wins — except the platforms.
Strategy
Four levers to make direct booking the default.
Remove the technology barrier
The reason most hosts don't have a direct booking site is that building one is expensive and technical. Our AI eliminates that barrier — a live, conversion-optimised site in under 10 minutes.
Align incentives with a flat fee
We charge a fixed monthly subscription — never a percentage per booking. Our business grows when hosts grow, not when guests overpay. The incentives are the same.
Turn SEO into a moat
Your own domain means Google ranks your site, not Airbnb's. Every blog post, every review, every returning guest compounds into organic discovery that costs zero per booking.
Make the switch frictionless
Hosts can run Lodgaro alongside Airbnb from day one. As direct bookings grow, platform dependency shrinks naturally. No forced migration, no risk.
Where we're based
Brussels, Belgium
We are a small team of builders who believe the travel industry can be restructured to benefit the people doing the work and the people paying for it. Lodgaro is our contribution to making that happen.
Join the movement.
Every direct booking is one less transaction paying platform tax. The more hosts who switch, the cheaper travel becomes for everyone.
