What It Is

BnB Holiday is a cloud-based SaaS operated by Digital Booking AS, aimed at vacation rentals, B&Bs, homestays, and small hotels. It is not positioned as an OTA; instead, it helps accommodation operators interact directly with guests: create a property showcase website, manage availability and bookings, and send confirmations and receipts. The platform explicitly states that it does not charge booking commissions and does not get involved in guest payments.

Core Features and Integrations

The product is built around the day-to-day workflows of small accommodation businesses. Booking calendars and multi-calendar views let operators review properties, dates, and availability; bookings can be created directly from the calendar, with booking confirmations generated as PDFs, printed, or sent by email. The receipt module can automatically create receipts from existing bookings and also supports adding extra fee lines. The website builder can display properties, prices, and availability, and supports website messages. A contact list, file attachments, support for up to 10 units, and access from desktop, tablet, and mobile devices cover the basic operational needs.

For third-party integrations, the text only explicitly mentions iCal export, used to sync availability with external calendar systems. The terms also note that the accuracy and completeness of this integration are not guaranteed, and hosts need to verify availability themselves. No information was found about an open API, webhooks, channel manager, or payment gateway integrations.

Pricing, Security, and Support

BnB Holiday offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. After the trial, the price is €6.99/month, excluding VAT; subscription payments are accepted via major credit cards. The terms state that the platform may adjust pricing, but will provide at least 30 days’ advance notice. On security, the FAQ says it uses 256-bit SSL and states GDPR compliance; users own their registered data and can export it when terminating the contract. Support is mainly provided via email at [email protected], with no online chat, phone support, or SLA disclosed.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

Its advantages are low pricing, no commission, and a low learning curve, with features focused on the calendars, documents, and simple official websites that small hosts use most often. Its limitations are also clear: it does not handle guest payments, and there is no disclosed information on team roles and permissions, an open API, self-hosting, or advanced channel distribution capabilities. If you manage multiple brands, you will also need multiple accounts.

Access from China and Alternatives

The text does not provide information about access from mainland China, a Chinese-language interface, or local payment methods, so china_access can only be considered unknown. Users in China should also consider euro-denominated credit card payments, GDPR-related cross-border data issues, and website access stability. If you need a localized PMS, WeChat/Alipay support, or deep OTA connections, you may want to compare domestic accommodation management systems; for overseas short-term rental operations, Lodgify, Smoobu, Hostaway, Guesty, Beds24, and similar tools are also worth evaluating.
