Action: Hostfully - Book Again & Marketplace (Repeat Direct Bookings)
Module 9: The Digital House Guide
Hostfully's Book Again feature places a "book your next stay direct" card inside your digital guidebook, linked to your own booking website. It reaches guests while they are on holiday and enjoying the property, which is when repeat bookings are most likely. Direct repeat bookings avoid platform fees and come from proven, low-risk guests, and the optional Marketplace lets you offer extras in the same guidebook.

Questions people ask
What is Book Again in Hostfully?
It is a guidebook section that shows guests your bookable listings with links to your direct booking website, so they can book their next stay without going through a platform.
Why are repeat direct bookings valuable for hosts?
They avoid booking platform fees and come from guests who have already stayed, followed the rules and enjoyed the property.
Should Book Again link to my Airbnb listing?
No. The point is to send returning guests to your own direct booking site rather than back to a platform.
