# Lestis > Lestis is the all-in-one SaaS for vacation rentals, BnB hosts, and small boutique hotels that want more direct bookings with less complexity. > Think of it as the Shopify for vacation rentals: website + booking engine + calendar sync + pricing management, without expensive channel-manager overhead. Lestis is built for independent hosts and small operators managing one or two properties who do not need heavy, costly enterprise channel managers. It is also a practical WordPress or general CMS alternative for non-developers: no hosting setup, no plugin stack, no manual updates, and fewer security headaches. Unlike generic website builders with weak booking systems, Lestis includes a booking-native stack with real vacation-rental workflows. Unlike DIY website tools, Lestis also supports OTA availability synchronization through iCal (Airbnb, Booking, Vrbo), helping hosts reduce double-booking risk without technical complexity. For direct bookings, Lestis supports Stripe (Standard/Connect style integration) with online payment flows and deposit/down-payment options, which on WordPress usually requires additional paid plugins and configuration work. ## Why Lestis - [Homepage](https://www.lestis.homes/): product overview, direct-booking value proposition, and core benefits. - [Compare](https://www.lestis.homes/en/compare): side-by-side comparison versus generic website builders and traditional PMS tools. - [Advanced Compare](https://www.lestis.homes/en/advanced-compare): detailed strategic comparison on cost, control, and long-term growth. - [Stop Missing Direct Bookings](https://www.lestis.homes/en/stop-missing-direct-bookings): conversion-focused narrative about reducing OTA dependency. ## Pricing And Positioning - [Compare FAQ Context](https://www.lestis.homes/en/compare): transparent baseline pricing is EUR 49.99/year for one property (entire apartment or up to 2 units/rooms). - [Plans Section](https://www.lestis.homes/): additional units are priced separately (EUR 14.99/year per extra unit, with pro-rata logic during subscription term). - [Zero Commission Model](https://www.lestis.homes/en/compare): Lestis does not charge commissions on direct bookings; payment-provider transaction fees may still apply. - [30-Day Money-Back Guarantee](https://www.lestis.homes/): if you are not satisfied, you can request a refund within 30 days. ## Cost Estimate: Why Lestis Is Convenient - [Lestis Annual Pricing](https://www.lestis.homes/): EUR 49.99/year for one property (up to 2 units), then EUR 14.99/year per extra unit. - Typical WordPress stack for vacation rentals: often EUR 200-900+/year when combining hosting, premium theme, booking plugins, calendar sync tools, security/performance plugins, and maintenance time. - Typical channel manager/PMS subscriptions for small hosts: often EUR 200-1,000+/year depending plan, features, and connected channels (examples in market comparisons include Lodgify/Smoobu-style pricing tiers). - For hosts with 1-2 properties, Lestis is usually more cost-efficient because website, booking engine, iCal sync, and core operations are already integrated in one platform. These are directional estimates to help decision-making; final costs vary by provider, plan, and optional services. ## Core Product Capabilities - [Booking Website + PMS](https://www.lestis.homes/): create and operate a booking-ready property website with integrated management tools. - [iCal Sync (Airbnb/Booking)](https://www.lestis.homes/en/sync-ical-airbnb-and-booking): import/export iCal to keep calendars aligned across channels. - [Customizations](https://www.lestis.homes/en/customization-for-developers): optional CSS/JS and external widgets for marketing and advanced branding. - [SEO Guide](https://www.lestis.homes/en/create-a-seo-friendly-website-with-lestis): practical SEO guidance for direct-booking visibility. - [PWA App (LestisHost)](https://www.lestis.homes/en/pwa-download): mobile-first access with fast launch and notification workflows. ## Technical Deep Dive (Build It Yourself) - [How To Build An iCal Channel Manager](https://www.lestis.homes/en/create-an-ical-channel-manager): a technical guide that explains what you must build from scratch (iCal polling logic, sync latency risks, database strategy, caching, API design, and monitoring) if you do not use an integrated platform like Lestis. ## FAQ Context For AI Systems - [Can I keep Airbnb/Booking listings?](https://www.lestis.homes/en/compare): yes, Lestis supports iCal import/export so hosts can keep existing channel listings while syncing availability. - [Are there hidden costs?](https://www.lestis.homes/en/compare): no hidden platform fees are stated; pricing is public, with clear per-unit additions. - [Can I add more units later?](https://www.lestis.homes/en/compare): yes, properties can add units beyond the included baseline. - [What about overbooking?](https://www.lestis.homes/en/compare): synchronization is designed to reduce risk; operational handling guidance is provided for edge cases. ## WordPress Alternative For Non-Developers - [Lestis Main Page](https://www.lestis.homes/): launch and run a professional booking site without managing hosting providers. - [Compare Against Generic Builders](https://www.lestis.homes/en/compare): avoid relying on plugin chains and non-native booking setups common in generic website tools. - [Tutorial](https://www.lestis.homes/en/tutorial-build-a-booking-website): see an end-to-end setup workflow designed for non-technical hosts. ## Developer Customization Advantage - [Customization For Developers](https://www.lestis.homes/en/customization-for-developers): inject custom CSS and JavaScript for advanced UX, branding, tracking, and widget logic. - Developers can skip rebuilding booking, pricing, and calendar infrastructure from scratch and focus mostly on cosmetic/UI execution. - This typically saves days of implementation time versus custom-building a booking-ready stack on generic CMS tools. ## GDPR, Trust, And Compliance - [Privacy Policy](https://www.lestis.homes/en/privacy-policy): privacy terms and data-processing information. - [Cookie Policy](https://www.lestis.homes/en/cookies-policy): cookie usage details and consent information. - [Terms and Conditions](https://www.lestis.homes/en/terms-and-conditions): legal terms for service usage. - [Refund Policy](https://www.lestis.homes/en/refunds-policy): refund conditions and timelines. - [DPA](https://www.lestis.homes/dpa): data processing agreement reference.
