🎙️ This Week’s Episode: Why Short-Term Rental Hosts Are Ditching Airbnb
Tired of sky-high booking fees and platform rules that favor guests over hosts? In this episode, I sit down with Danaer and Carlos, co-founders of Direct BookMe, a community-first platform helping short-term rental hosts take back control of their business—and their profits.
Born from their own frustration as frequent travelers and would-be hosts, Direct BookMe is on a mission to simplify direct bookings, eliminate commissions, and give hosts the tools and freedom to grow.
Danaer and Carlos share:
- Why Airbnb and VRBO no longer serve most hosts
- The tipping point that sparked the idea for Direct BookMe
- How they’re building trust, community, and a commission-free future
- The platform’s focus on education, simplicity, and host empowerment
We also dig into traveler behavior in 2025, the rise of digital nomads, and how Direct Book Me is aligning with new expectations in the vacation rental space.
🎯 Key takeaways:
- Direct bookings = more money in your pocket, less red tape
- The major trust and autonomy gaps in legacy platforms
- Why building with community from day one is a game-changer
- How hosts can start listing without needing their own website
Whether you're a current host, thinking of becoming one, or just sick of feeling like a commodity—this episode is for you.
