A daily video of your place, rooms that fill themselves.
Every booking through an OTA hands over a cut and hides the guest from you. A daily video presence is how a small place builds its own audience and takes direct bookings. We make that video from the photos you already have — you host, we post.
Month-to-month, no agency retainer. We scope the right plan and pricing with you on a quick 15-minute call.
Why small places stay invisible
The OTAs take a cut of every booking and keep the guest.
Booking.com and Airbnb bring heads in beds, but they take 15%+ and you never own the relationship. The only way off that treadmill is an audience of your own — and that lives on social, updated constantly.
It's just you. There's no one to run Instagram.
A boutique hotel might have a front desk; a guest house has you, doing everything. Posting daily — let alone editing video — is the first thing that falls off the list, and the account goes stale for months.
One reel would out-reach a month of your photos.
Video is what strangers actually get shown. A single good clip of your garden at breakfast can reach more potential guests than everything else you've posted this year — but making one, every day, isn't realistic by hand.
A message asking about a free weekend sits unread till evening.
You were changing linens. By the time you reply, they've booked a place that answered first. Every slow reply is a direct booking that quietly became an OTA one — or nothing.
What we run for your guest house
A short video of your place, every day
Your garden in the morning light, the reading nook, the breakfast table, the view from the best room — animated from your own photos into clips that feel filmed. It's the format that reaches people who don't know you exist yet, posted daily without you lifting a finger.
Daily posts and carousels between the videos
Rooms, local tips, guest moments, the little details that make people choose a small place over a chain — pulled from your photos, in your voice. The account stays alive even in your busiest weeks.
Built to win direct bookings
Content leans toward the things that make someone book you directly — your story, your neighbourhood, your repeat-guest proof — so more of your bookings skip the OTA and its cut.
Messages and comments answered for you
Add the engagement layer and enquiries about dates and availability get a reply within hours, and real booking questions reach you with the details attached — so a slow reply never costs you a stay.
