Direct booking website builder for vacation rental hosts and property managers. Creates professional, SEO-optimized websites that integrate with major PMS platforms to drive commission-free direct bookings.

BnBFinder (rebranded as Savvy in January 2025) is a book-direct vacation rental marketplace that connects travelers with professionally managed properties — including vacation rentals, bed and breakfasts, inns, and boutique hotels — without charging any service fees to travelers. Founded in 1998 as a bed-and-breakfast directory, the platform was acquired in 2022 by Eric Goldreyer, who pivoted it into a professionally managed vacation rental marketplace. Savvy exclusively lists professionally managed and verified properties. Property managers remain the merchant of record, process their own payments, and own the entire guest relationship. The platform offers free standard listings with optional paid Boost tiers for increased visibility (up to 11.8x more exposure) and integrates with 20+ PMS including Guesty, Hostaway, Escapia, OwnerRez, and Lodgify. CEO Eric Goldreyer co-founded TurnKey Vacation Rentals (acquired by Vacasa for ~$600M) and founded BedandBreakfast.com (acquired by HomeAway).

Bookingmood is commission-free and serves rental hosts of all sizes across 50+ countries.
