Coelho BrancoWEBSITES · GOOGLE · SOCIAL MEDIA
A website for holiday rentals, with direct bookings.
Booking platforms bring the first guest. Your website brings the second, commission-free. Gallery, availability, several languages and your Google profile at work.
From €1,490 · prices exclude VATWhy a holiday rental needs its own website
Guests who enjoyed their stay search the property’s name on Google to come back or recommend it. If all they find is the platform, the booking pays commission again. Your own website gives them a direct route, and gives you more margin and the guest’s contact details.
A website also builds trust with people comparing options: large photos, what is nearby, how to get there and the house rules.
What the holiday rental website includes
- Photo gallery for each room or apartment
- Availability request or link to your booking engine
- Portuguese, English and a third language of your choice
- Map, what is nearby and how to get there
- Reviews on display and your Google profile linked
- Gift vouchers for stays, if you want to sell online
We recommend the Extended website: up to 15 pages, three languages, a blog and advanced SEO, for €1,490. The Growth bundle combines website, social media, Google, online reputation and ads. See prices and bundles.
Direct bookings: what convinces a guest to book on your website
- Clear terms. Price, deposit, cancellation and check-in, without having to ask.
- A reason to come back to you. Guests who have stayed before often prefer to deal with you directly, if the route is easy.
- The guest’s contact. With a direct booking you keep the guest’s email and can let them know about next season.
- Your property’s name on Google. When someone searches for it, your website should appear alongside the platform.
Alongside the website, social media shows the property and the area to people still choosing a holiday.
From the property to the area: pages that bring new searches
An Extended website lets you write for people who do not yet know your property: what to do in Lagos, the beaches near Albufeira or how to get there from Faro airport. These pages and the blog bring searches the platform does not give you, and they also help guests who have already booked.
Services around the property matter too: if you work with cleaning, pools or gardens, see how we approach home services websites.
Online reputation: what guests read before booking
In hospitality, reviews decide the booking. With online reputation management, we reply to reviews on Google, Booking and TripAdvisor, help you ask real guests for reviews and keep your Google profile up to date. With Instagram ads, we reach people planning a holiday in the Algarve.

Frequently asked questions
Does the website replace Booking or Airbnb?
No, it complements them. Platforms keep bringing new guests; your website recovers bookings from returning guests and people searching for you by name.
Can I take payments on the website?
Yes, with a booking engine or with a deposit paid by MB WAY and card.
How much does a holiday rental website cost?
The Extended website costs €1,490 excluding VAT. For a property with few units, the Business website (€790) may be enough.
Does this also work for small hotels and restaurants?
Yes. A website for a restaurant or small hotel follows the same logic: photos, direct bookings, several languages and a Google profile. See the prices or talk to us.
