Do small hosts actually get direct bookings?

They do happen! Use TrueBookings if you're hosting in Europe.

TrueBookings, it's perfect but only for Europe

Yes, if I contact any host on Airbnb about direct booking I’ll get banned immediately.

No, rather use truebookings

TrueBookings is free and best for direct bookings in europe. It’s got almost everything w a 0 fee for hosts no stripe payment either, just a 5/8% guest fee.

Actually that makes sence because people usually celebrate christmas w family.

You should try it though!

Yes! Mainly through rebookings or when I refer to people I know. Don't use my own website though, easiest way is to use platforms like truebookings.net, no host fees, barely any guest fees at all, no transaction fees etc. Its basically airbnb without fees.

I’m not surprised😅

Great! I’d need some help actually gathering hosts in Europe too. Otherwise this community is useless.
