Guests see real-time availability. Sync with Airbnb, Booking.com via iCal imports, plus manual blocks for last-minute holds. Single source of truth for your rental calendar.
Extras & Pricing

Automated Guest Emails
Booking confirmation, approval, and cancellation emails sent automatically. Pro plan lets you customize templates with your branding and preview before sending.
Booking Engine Features Built for Vacation Rentals
A lightweight engine without the enterprise bloat
Widget or Standalone Page
Embed the booking engine as a widget on your site, or share a standalone booking page (no website needed). Both options give guests the same seamless booking experience.
iCal Calendar Sync
Import bookings from Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, and other platforms. Note: iCal syncs update every few hours, not instantly. Use manual blocks for immediate changes to prevent double bookings.
Booking Request Workflow
Guests submit booking requests. You review details, check availability, and approve or decline. Stay in control of who books your property—no forced instant bookings.
Multi-Property Support (Pro)
Manage multiple vacation rentals from one dashboard. Free plan includes 1 property; upgrade to Pro for unlimited properties and bookings.
Bilingual Engine (EN/FR)
Built-in English and French support. Perfect for properties in France, UK, or anywhere with international guests.
Mobile-Optimized
Over 60% of bookings happen on mobile. The booking engine automatically adapts to any screen size for a smooth guest experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I embed this booking engine on any website?▼
Yes. The booking engine works with WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, or any custom HTML site. Just copy the embed code and paste it where you want the booking calendar to appear. No developer required.
Do I need a website to use the booking engine?▼
No. If you don't have a website, you get a standalone booking page you can share via email, WhatsApp, Facebook, or Instagram. If you do have a site, the embed option is available.
How does calendar syncing work with Airbnb and Booking.com?▼
Export an iCal feed from Airbnb, Booking.com, or other platforms, then import it into Dayletus. The system checks for updates every few hours. Important: iCal is not instant—for last-minute bookings, use manual blocks to avoid double bookings.
Can guests pay through the booking engine?▼
Currently, you handle payments directly with guests (bank transfer, PayPal, Stripe, etc.). The booking engine manages the booking workflow and calendar only—this keeps your fees at 0% commission.
What's the difference between Free and Pro plans?▼
Free plan: 1 property, 5 bookings per year, view-only emails. Pro plan (£20/mo, currently £12/mo with discount): unlimited properties, unlimited bookings, iCal calendar imports, and customizable email templates.
