For retreat centers and eco-lodges
Guests pick their dates and room on your site, and nobody has to email you and wait for a reply. We connect it to the system that holds your rooms and programs, and find out first how much of the booking it lets us build.
You see your new homepage before you pay for anything.
The usual trouble
BookRetreats charges a commission on the full retreat price, set by the visibility rate you choose. Its own example uses 15%, plus a 3% payment fee. The cut also covers extras booked later, like extra nights or meals.1 Retreat Guru’s marketplace takes 14% of the total price.2
On BookRetreats the deposit is paid on their site, and you charge the rest yourself, on arrival or before.1 Retreat Guru says the same: collecting the rest of the price is up to you.2
Booking.com charges its commission on the whole booking, including fees you add like cleaning fees. Non-refundable bookings are charged whether or not the guest stayed.3 Airbnb is moving hosts to a single service fee of 15.5%, based on its global average.4
What we do
The site sits over the system you already run your retreats in and talks to it through its API. Guests see your dates, rooms and programs on your pages. How much of the booking and the payment happens there depends on that system, and we check it with you first. The system behind it keeps working as it does today.

Eagle’s Nest Atitlán is a retreat center that also sells classes and stays. Our other case is a coliving.
Yes. Your calendar, guest records and account stay where they are. We replace the website in front of them, not the system behind it.
No. Keep a listing if it fills rooms for you. The site is one more way in: guests who find you through search, social media or a friend can book on your own domain. Before you set prices there, read each platform’s terms. Retreat Guru’s host policy says an item on its marketplace may not be listed for a lower price elsewhere.2 Want a year of platform fees set against your own site? Use the booking fee calculator.
Some systems let us build the whole booking on your page. Others hand the guest to their own page for the last step. Which one you have depends on your system and your account, and we find out on the call, before you decide. Where a step stays on the system’s page, we design the pages around it and bring the guest back to your site. Running classes on Momence? See websites for Momence.
Most of the price depends on results. A first part books your start date, a second part is due when the site goes live, and the third part comes 90 days later, in full only if your website booked more than in the same 90 days last year. We go through the numbers on the call. A retreat site is live within thirty business days. We set up the link to your system first. If it has to approve the link, the thirty days start at that approval.
Yes. Before you pay anything, we design your retreat homepage and walk you through it on a call. Then you decide.
Every fact about another company on this page was read on that company’s own pages on 2 November 2026. Companies change their pages, so check before you decide.
How we build, what it costs and our results are ours, not theirs.

When a client tells me they have more time for their actual work, that’s when I know the website did its job.
Admit one
We design it for free and show it to you on a call. If it doesn’t feel like you, you’ve lost nothing but one call.
