Snug
Take bookings directly on your own site and keep the commission. Set it up yourself in about five minutes.
Or try it first: book a sample stay · open the owner dashboard
The problem
Booking platforms take a cut. If you use Airbnb, Booking.com or similar, you lose 15-18% of every booking. That's thousands per year for a small guest house.
Booking software is complicated or pricey. Wix Bookings is a monthly add-on. Many B&Bs and class businesses still take bookings by phone or email, which means missed enquiries and manual work.
You want guests to book on your own site. So Snug lets them. A simple booking widget, embedded directly on your site, with live availability and an owner dashboard to manage it all. No 15% platform fee. No monthly surprises. Just your bookings, your way.
Two booking modes
Pick one or use both, depending on your business.
Stays
Guests pick room types, check-in and check-out dates, and see live availability. You set rates per room type and block out dates when you're full or closed. The owner dashboard shows all bookings, lets you confirm or decline, add manual phone bookings, edit room rates on the fly, and shows a running counter of commission saved versus OTA platforms.
- Date-range booking calendar
- Multiple room types & quantities
- Blocked-out dates
- Edit rates anytime
- Confirm/decline dashboard
- Commission-saved counter
Classes & Courses
Guests reserve a place on a course - say, a 10-person yoga workshop or dog training class. They see how many places are left ("Only 2 spaces left"). You manage enrolments, see the full list of who signed up, and can cap numbers and block dates. Perfect for fitness studios, craft courses, dog training, photography workshops or any class-based local business.
- Fixed or rolling classes
- Live places remaining
- "Only X left" urgency counter
- Multiple date & time slots
- Enrolment list in dashboard
- Add manual sign-ups

Owner dashboard
Edit rooms, rates, dates and bookings. Add phone enquiries by hand. See everything at a glance.
Booking.com & Airbnb sync
Link their calendars and Snug holds those nights, and they read Snug's back - so a room is never sold twice.
Embeddable on any site
Drop a button or embed the full widget anywhere - Wix, WordPress, Shopify or hand-coded HTML.
Hosted & run for you
We host it and keep it running. You get a dashboard that works on your phone - calendar, requests, rooms - and a getting-started checklist on day one.
Guest emails
Request-received, confirmed and declined emails with your check-in times and directions, all logged in your dashboard. Sending is switched on by us when your account goes live.
How it works
Set it up in five minutes
With your invite code, add your rooms, nightly prices, check-in times and colour, and watch your booking page take shape. (Classes mode is set up by us - just ask.)
Share your link
Put it on your website's Book button (or embed the whole calendar), your Google profile and your email signature. Works with Wix, WordPress, Shopify or any site.
Bookings land in your dashboard
Guests book online in seconds. You see every booking in your dashboard, no commissions taken, no middleman.
What Snug does today
- Range calendar showing free nights and "from" prices, with minimum stays
- Room-by-night calendar for you, with a to-confirm queue and arrivals
- Booking.com, Airbnb and Vrbo calendar sync (iCal, every 30 minutes, both ways)
- Closed dates for holidays and maintenance, sent to your other channels
- Booking link, QR code and website embed in your colours
- Guest emails written for you - sending is switched on by Cyber-Jack when your account goes live
What it doesn't do yet
- Deposits or card payments - guests request, you confirm and take payment your usual way
- Seasonal or weekend rates - one nightly price per room type
- Instant sync - calendar links are checked every 30 minutes, not live
- Pushing prices to Booking.com or Airbnb - it syncs availability, not rates
- Text messages to guests
If one of these is a deal-breaker, tell us - it shapes what we build next.
Who it's for
Any small business that takes bookings or enrolments.
Simple pricing
A small setup fee to configure your rooms or classes and theme the widget. Then a modest monthly charge - far less than the platforms take. No hidden fees, no lock-in, no surprise bills.

How do I get started?
Ask for an invite at hello@cyber-jack.uk. With the code you add your rooms, prices, check-in times and colour in about five minutes, and you get your booking link and a private owner dashboard straight away. A short checklist walks you through sharing it and making a test booking.
Is Snug really commission-free?
Yes. Guests pay you directly, so you keep the whole booking value. Snug is a small setup fee and a modest monthly charge - far less than the 15-18% booking sites take per booking.
I'm on Booking.com and Airbnb too. Will I get double-booked?
Link each listing's calendar (iCal) and Snug holds the nights they've sold, checking every 30 minutes; they read Snug's calendar back the same way. Like every iCal sync, it isn't instant, so a booking made on two sites within the same few minutes could still clash - Snug flags any clash it finds.
Does it take deposits or card payments?
Not yet. Guests send a booking request, you confirm it, and you take payment the way you do now (bank transfer, card on arrival). If deposits matter to you, tell us.
Do guests get emails?
Snug writes the request-received, confirmed and declined emails with your check-in times and house notes, and you can read every one in your dashboard. Sending them is switched on by Cyber-Jack when your account goes live; until then they're kept as previews.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. Snug is a web page. Guests book in their browser from a link, a QR code or a button on your website - no app, no account.
Can I take phone and email bookings too?
Yes. Add them yourself in the owner dashboard - it checks the room is free first - right alongside the online ones.
