commission.
Websites and direct-booking systems for mid Wales B&Bs, farm stays and small hotels — so guests book and pay you direct, and Booking.com doesn't get a cut.
Every OTA booking skims 15% off the top.
Booking.com and Airbnb bring you guests — then take a cut of every single night. Over a year, that "small" commission is a proper chunk of money leaving mid Wales. Slide in your own numbers and see yours.
Based on a typical 15% OTA commission. Plenty of hosts pay more once you add card fees and premium placement — and every one of these bookings could have come to you direct.
That's £2,592 a year — around £7,776 over three years — handed to the middlemen instead of staying with you.
Take the booking yourself. Keep the whole night.
Your own availability calendar and secure checkout, built right into your website — so guests book and pay you directly, and the commission stays yours.
Real-time availability calendar
Guests see what's actually free and book it on the spot. You block dates in a couple of taps — no double-bookings, no back-and-forth.
Secure card payments
Deposits or full payment taken safely at the point of booking, straight into your account. Guest details captured cleanly.
Mobile-first guest flow
Most guests book from a phone on the sofa. Dates, details, pay — the whole thing is fast and easy on a small screen.
Zero OTA commission
No 15% skim, no per-booking fee to a platform. What the guest pays is what you keep, minus only the card processing.
See what a guest sees when they search you.

You say hello
Run the free snapshot, or send your business name and town by email or phone.
I do the work
A paid audit lands within 48 hours. A website — with direct bookings if you want them — takes about two weeks.
You see it first
You'll always see the work and agree it before anything's due. No surprises, no pressure.
I'm taking on a handful of places to start.
VisibleCymru is new, and I'd rather do a few builds properly than rush a queue. So the first mid Wales places to come aboard get looked after as launch partners.
- Founder pricing held — today's rates on your build and booking system locked in, even as prices rise later
- Priority build slot — your site and calendar jump the queue
- A real say — you help shape how the booking system works for places like yours
Who this is actually for.
- You run a place people stay — and you're tired of handing a cut to Booking.com and Airbnb
- You know your online presence needs work but never find the hour
- You've no budget for an agency retainer, but a one-off you own outright is fine
- You'd rather see the work first and decide after
- You want it sorted by a real person who knows the patch
- You already have a marketing person or agency on this
- You want a 12-month strategy document, not a practical start
- You're happy paying OTA commission and don't want your own bookings
Dylan · VisibleCymru
Born & raised in mid Wales
A real person, not a faceless agency.
Hi — I'm Dylan. I grew up here in mid Wales, and in September I'm off to Cardiff University to study Politics and Economics. VisibleCymru is what I'm building in the meantime — partly to sharpen my own skills, and partly because the towns I grew up around are full of brilliant places to stay that deserve to be found, and booked, direct.
I'm not a big agency, and I won't pretend to be one. What I am is local, careful, and honest about how I work: I use AI openly to do the heavy research — your reviews, your competitors, how Google and Tripadvisor actually rank local places — and turn all of it into things you can use.
You'll always deal with me directly. And if what you need is bigger than what I do, I'll tell you that too.
Made here, for here.
VisibleCymru is run from mid Wales, for the places that make mid Wales worth the drive. Not a faceless agency three counties away — someone who knows the patch, and wants your bookings staying local.
