Create a booking website for your homestay, no code needed
HostBooking ·
With HostBooking you create a homestay booking website by choosing a site name, entering your homestay’s name, then adding rooms and photos. The site comes with live availability, online booking, a QR code for guests to pay the deposit, a Zalo chat button and page titles and descriptions already written for Google. No designer to hire, no code to write.
How is a homestay website different from a Facebook page?
A Facebook page helps guests find you, but they still have to message "any rooms free?", wait for an answer, then transfer money to the account you send. A booking website does that part for you: guests see free rooms, pick the hours or dates, book and pay the deposit any time, even at midnight.
What a HostBooking homestay website includes
- A home page and a page per room with photos, prices, amenities, house rules and a map.
- Live availability from real bookings; guests only see the times still free.
- Online booking by the hour, overnight or by the day.
- QR bank-transfer deposits (VietQR, Vietnam’s standard bank QR) straight into your account.
- A Zalo button floating in the corner, so guests can ask in one tap on Vietnam’s main chat app.
- Guest reviews, guest accounts and membership tiers (depending on plan).
- Vietnamese and English, with AI to help translate your descriptions.
- SEO built in: titles, descriptions and structured data for Google, and full previews when shared on Facebook or Zalo.
Steps to create a homestay website
- Sign up and choose a site name, for example nhamay.staycation.com.vn.
- Enter your homestay’s name, phone number and the bank account for deposits.
- Add properties, room types, prices and photos. AI can write the descriptions if you like.
- Publish. Send the link to guests on Zalo, Facebook and Google Maps.

Use your own domain
From the Basic plan you can connect your own domain, such as nhamay.vn. The admin walks you through pointing the domain step by step, and your original site name keeps working alongside it, so returning guests never get lost.
