Read more below to understand which direct booking solution is right for you.
Guesty Booking Engine
The Guesty Booking Engine is a simple, static booking portal where guests can view availability and book their reservations. Use the Guesty Booking Engine as a standalone booking site, or embed it as a widget on your own website. Integration with other booking engines is not supported.
The Guesty Booking Engine is free for all Guesty users, so you can avoid paying extra fees to third-party distribution channels. Explore our demo site.
Guesty Websites
Guesty Websites is based on the Guesty Booking Engine. You must have a Guesty Booking Engine to be able to use Guesty Websites.
Launch an upgraded site with Guesty Websites for additional brand exposure. Guesty Websites is a customizable site builder with advanced features to showcase your brand and provide your guest with a seamless booking experience.

Guesty Booking Engine API
Guesty’s most advanced solution, the Guesty Booking Engine API, lets your web development team connect a custom website directly to Guesty. Use the API to sync reservations, listings, rates, and availability between your site and Guesty in real time. You don't need to create your inventory from scratch; listings added to the Booking Engine sync automatically with your custom booking website.
The Guesty Booking Engine API allows you to retrieve data and perform actions from Guesty, such as:
- Enable real-time availability, price quotes, and property data.
- Create, manage, and update reservations through the API.
- Create and update prices and quotes
API setup requirements
This requires a web developer with experience in API connectivity to set up the Booking Engine API. Proper configuration ensures smooth data exchange between your website and Guesty.
