DayletHoliday let booking widget for your website
Add a booking widget to your holiday let website with one script tag — no developer needed. Guests see live availability, pick dates, and book straight from your site.
Free for 5 bookings • One script tag • Live in minutes
A booking widget that takes five minutes to add
Everything needed to turn website visitors into direct bookings — no code, no plugins to maintain
One script tag, no developer
Paste a single script tag into your site and a 'Book now' button appears, opening the booking widget in a full-screen calendar. An inline iframe embed is available too. No developer needed — but if you have one, a REST API is available for fully custom integrations.
Live availability calendar
Guests see real dates, not a contact form. The widget checks live availability before showing dates as bookable, so nobody requests a date that's already gone.
Keep 100% of the booking
Daylet charges a flat subscription — it never takes a cut of your bookings. Guests pay through Stripe on the Pro plan; the money goes straight to your account.
Approve or auto-confirm
Choose whether booking requests need your approval or confirm instantly. Either way, you stay in control of who books your property.
Booking widget features for holiday lets
A lightweight widget, not a bloated plugin
Floating button or inline calendar
Two widget types: a floating 'Book now' button that opens a full-screen calendar, or an inline calendar embedded directly on a page. Use one or both.
Works with any website builder
The widget is a script tag or iframe — it works with WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, and hand-built sites alike. No plugin installation or updates.
No website? Use a booking page
Don't have a website yet? Share a standalone booking page link by email, WhatsApp, or social media instead of embedding a widget.
Extras and seasonal pricing
Add optional extras like cleaning fees or breakfast, and set seasonal pricing for peak weeks and off-season rates. Prices update live in the widget.
Trilingual widget (EN/FR/ES)
The widget speaks English, French, and Spanish out of the box — useful for holiday lets with international guests.
Mobile-optimized
Most guests browse and book on their phone. The widget adapts to any screen size automatically.

Who uses this booking widget?
Owners without a website
Share the standalone booking page link instead — no widget or website required to start taking direct bookings.
Owners with an existing website

Owners with more than one holiday let
Add a separate widget to each property page, and manage every calendar and booking from one dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a widget or button I can add to take direct bookings?▼
Yes. Daylet gives you a single script tag that adds a floating 'Book now' button to any page. Clicking it opens a full-screen booking calendar. An inline calendar embed is also available for pages that should show the calendar directly.
Do I need to know how to code to add the booking widget?▼
No. Copying and pasting a script tag or iframe into a website builder's HTML/embed block is the only step required. No developer or plugin installation needed.
Does the widget work with WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace?▼
Yes. The widget is a standard script tag or iframe, so it works with WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, and hand-coded sites. Most builders have an 'embed code' or 'custom HTML' block for exactly this.
Is the booking widget free to use?▼
Yes, on the Free plan for 1 property and up to 5 bookings a year. The Pro plan (£20/mo, currently £12/mo with an early-price discount) removes the booking limit and adds calendar imports and email customization.
Can guests pay through the widget?▼
On the Pro plan, guests pay by card through Stripe's hosted checkout when they book, and the payment goes directly to your bank account. On the Free plan, booking requests come through the widget and payment is arranged directly with guests.
Is there an API instead of the widget?▼
Yes. Alongside the script tag and iframe embed, Daylet offers a REST API to check availability, fetch pricing, and create bookings from your own code — useful if a developer is building a fully custom booking flow rather than using the widget as-is.
