How to accept direct bookings on your Hostinger vacation rental website
A Hostinger Website Builder site can take real booking requests without a PMS or a separate form builder. The builder keeps embedded code in a box you size with handles, so the recommended setup pastes the RentalBeam booking widget iframe snippet into an Embed code element and makes the box tall. You decide whether guests submit an inquiry, get billed after you approve by bank transfer, cash, or a secure card payment link, or pay inline with Stripe Connect, all with no commission and no RentalBeam booking fee on your direct bookings.
Why add a direct-booking form to your Hostinger site?
Guests who reach your own website are your highest-intent traffic. Letting them request or book a stay without leaving the page, and without paying an OTA service fee, is the most underused conversion lever in vacation rentals. A direct-booking form on Hostinger turns the page from a brochure into a booking surface.
- Take booking requests directly from your own website
- Keep Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com synced so the form never sells double-booked dates
- Offer coupon codes, seasonal pricing, custom fields, and booking rules
- Choose between inquiry-only, bill later by bank transfer, cash, or a card link, or inline Stripe Connect card payment
- Zero RentalBeam commission on direct bookings: hosts keep 100% of their booking revenue
What you need
- A Hostinger Website Builder page you can edit
- A RentalBeam Pro plan with a booking-ready calendar
- At least one connected OTA or iCal availability source
Pro plan required
The booking widget is part of RentalBeam Pro. We never take a cut of what you charge. When a guest pays by card, only the standard Stripe card-processing fee applies, paid to Stripe rather than RentalBeam.Setup steps
- 1
Create a booking-ready RentalBeam calendar
- Open your RentalBeam dashboard and add or open a rental.
- Connect at least one iCal source (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, Google Calendar) so the booking widget never offers double-booked dates.
- Set your nightly pricing, optional seasonal rules, minimum stay, advance notice, and prep time.
- Decide whether bookings should be inquiry-only, host-reviewed and billed later by bank transfer, cash, or a card link, or paid inline with Stripe Connect.
Choose payment flow at any time
You can start with inquiry-only or pay-later requests today and switch to inline card payments later without rebuilding the page. The widget URL stays the same. - 2
Copy the right booking widget embed for Hostinger
RentalBeam recommends the iframe embed for Hostinger. Use the matching code format below as your reference.
html<iframe src="https://rentalbeam.com/embed/bookingform/your-calendar-id" width="100%" height="780" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" style="border: none; border-radius: 8px; display: block;"></iframe>The booking form grows as guests fill it in, and a Hostinger embed box keeps the size you give it, so the iframe snippet in a tall box keeps the whole form in reach.
Hostinger publishing reminders
- Make the box taller than the form looks at first. It gets longer as guests pick dates and fill in details.
- Give the form its own section so neighboring columns do not squeeze it on a phone.
- Send one real test inquiry from the published page to confirm the email reaches you.

Where to place the booking widget on the page
- Give the form its own section so neighboring columns do not squeeze it on a phone.
- Make the box taller than the form looks at first, since it gets longer as guests fill it in.

Treat the booking form as the page's primary CTA
High-converting direct-booking pages put the booking form directly next to or under the availability calendar so guests can check dates and request a stay in a single visual area.No commission on your direct bookings
