- ✓Receive verified guest inquiries.
- ✓Speak to the guests before confirming the booking.
- ✓Sign up in just 2 minutes.
We market your property, and the enquiry comes back to you
Hosts ask us this often, so here it is plainly. We promote your property, and an enquiry about it is yours. It is never passed to another host.
Online
Your property gets its own page on DirectTrip, backed by search and social coverage that brings guests to it.
Offline
Travel desks, local partners and events, where guests are still deciding where to stay.
Magazines
Travel press and magazine features that put your property in front of readers planning a trip.
Television
Travel and lifestyle slots that carry our properties to an audience well beyond the booking sites.
- ✓Every enquiry names one property, and it goes to that host.
- ✓We never redirect a guest who asked about your villa to a different one.
- ✓Your enquiries are not shared with other hosts, and they are not used to fill anyone else's calendar.

Hosts who made the switch
“Since listing on DirectTrip my calendar has filled out far more evenly through the year. Enquiries reach me on WhatsApp and I answer them myself, so I know who is coming before I confirm anything. That one change has cut my cancellations right down.”
“The process is simple and the team actually replies when I need them. I speak to every guest directly, I set my own rates, and I am not handing over a large commission on each booking the way I was before.”
“We look after several villas across North Goa and DirectTrip has brought us a steady flow of enquiries. Occupancy is up across the whole portfolio, and because guests have already spoken to us they arrive knowing exactly what they have booked.”
List your villa
Fill this in and it opens WhatsApp with your details ready to send. Our team replies the same day.
What does it cost?
Nothing upfront. No listing fee and no charge for enquiries. We take a flat 10% commission on confirmed bookings only.
How many bookings will I receive?
On average, the hosts we work with receive 6 to 8 reservations per month. Reviews, quality of stay, photos, descriptions and pricing all play a part.
How long does it take for my listing to go live?
Once you have completed the form below, it takes us an average of just 2 to 3 hours before your property goes live.
How will I receive guest inquiries?
Through WhatsApp and your dedicated DirectTrip account manager. Speak to every guest before you confirm.
Do you send my enquiries to other properties?
No. An enquiry about your property goes to you and to nobody else. We do not redirect guests to another villa, and we do not share your enquiries with other hosts.
How do you market my property?
Online through your own page on DirectTrip, search and social, and offline through travel desks, local partners, magazine features and television.
Do I need an existing Airbnb listing?
No. A link helps us build your page faster, but photos over WhatsApp work too.
I have more questions, can I talk to someone?
Absolutely! Send an email to hello@directtrip.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
