Beyond Booking Platform Partnerships: Guesty, Lodgify, SiteMinder, Wix Studio & Hauzd

Beyond Booking is one of very few hospitality and real estate marketing agencies in the world credentialed across five technology platforms simultaneously. This page documents each partnership — what each platform does, why we partnered with it, and what it means for our clients.

The Short Answer to Why We Built This Stack

Our clients operate across hotel, vacation rental, and real estate development verticals — three sectors with different technology requirements. A single-platform agency gives you one tool and one perspective. Beyond Booking holds active partnerships with Guesty, Lodgify, SiteMinder, Wix Studio, and Hauzd to eliminate that constraint entirely.

Key Takeaways

5 active platform partnerships. Guesty, Lodgify, SiteMinder, Wix Studio, and Hauzd — covering vacation rentals, hotels, resorts, direct booking websites, and real estate developer virtual showrooms.
No vendor conflict of interest. Being credentialed across competing platforms is rare. Our stack recommendation is driven by your use case, not our referral commission.
616,000+ guest stays supported since 2017. Approximately $280M in booking revenue across clients on four continents — using combinations of these platforms.
AI search distribution is now a stack decision. SiteMinder’s April 2026 Model Context Protocol integration routes hotel inventory directly into ChatGPT and Claude — the first platform in the hospitality category to do so.
Wix Studio is our website layer for all verticals. Custom booking websites, real estate project sites, and hotel marketing pages are all built on Wix Studio with direct booking engine integration.

1. Guesty — Vacation Rental Management for Growing Portfolios

Partnership page: guesty.com/marketplace-items/beyondbooking

Guesty is the most feature-rich property management system in the vacation rental category. It connects to 60+ booking channels — Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Google Vacation Rentals, Homes & Villas by Marriott — and consolidates the entire reservation lifecycle into one operational system.

Guesty connects 60+ channels and automates the full reservation lifecycle for vacation rental managers.

Why we partnered: Vacation rental managers scaling past 10 properties need enterprise-grade workflow automation — owner portals, cleaning task automation, multi-currency payments, AI guest messaging, and fraud detection. Guesty delivers all of this.

Best for: Vacation rental managers operating 10+ properties who need workflow automation, owner-facing reporting, and scalable channel distribution.

60+ OTA and booking channel connections

2. Lodgify — Direct Booking Infrastructure for Independent Hosts

Partnership page: lodgify.com/blog/beyond-booking-partnership

Lodgify built the strongest direct-booking infrastructure in the small-portfolio vacation rental segment. Its website builder, channel manager, unified inbox, and dynamic pricing combine into a system that starts at approximately $14/month per property — with no booking fees as of 2025.

Independent host building direct booking website with Lodgify

Lodgify makes branded direct booking accessible without a developer or enterprise budget.

Why we partnered: The majority of vacation rental hosts globally operate fewer than 10 properties. Lodgify’s direct booking website builder lets us set up a professional, conversion-optimized booking experience for a solo host in days, not months — with the SEO structure and Google Vacation Rentals support needed to rank independently.

Best for: Independent hosts and boutique property managers (1–30 properties) prioritizing direct booking, brand ownership, and simple workflow.

SiteMinder: 5x #1 at the 2026 HotelTechAwards. The standard for hotel commerce infrastructure.

Why we partnered: Our hotel clients need OTA distribution at scale — 450+ channels, 350+ PMS integrations, real-time sync. And in April 2026, SiteMinder announced that Demand Plus and Channels Plus now route hotel inventory directly into ChatGPT and Claude through the Model Context Protocol. This is the only direct AI distribution pathway currently available in the hotel technology category.

Unlike template-based builders, Wix Studio supports fully custom layouts, direct API integrations, and blog-based SEO and GEO content strategies.

Hauzd is the leading virtual showroom and 3D interactive sales tool for real estate developers. It lets pre-construction buyers explore floor plans, unit layouts, building amenities, and surrounding neighborhoods — all from a browser or mobile device, before a single brick is placed.

Virtual showroom technology for real estate developers — Hauzd 3D interactive sales

Hauzd replaces physical sales centres with immersive interactive experiences for pre-construction buyers globally.

Why we partnered: Real estate developer marketing has a unique challenge — the product does not exist yet at the moment of maximum marketing effort. Hauzd’s interactive 3D showroom lets buyers explore a property before construction with the same confidence as a physical show suite — at a fraction of the cost, reachable by international buyers in any timezone.

Best for: Real estate developers marketing pre-construction condominium, single-family, or mixed-use projects to domestic and international buyers.

Interactive 3D floor plan and unit-level exploration
Building amenity and neighborhood walkthroughs
Mobile and browser-native — no app download required
CRM and lead generation integration
International buyer-ready — multilingual and multi-currency contexts

Why a Multi-Stack Agency Credential Matters for Clients

Every platform in the list above has a referral program. Every single-platform agency has an incentive to recommend the platform they are credentialed with, regardless of whether it is the best fit for a client’s portfolio size, property type, or growth plan.

Hospitality agency team reviewing platform stack recommendations

Multi-stack credentialed: the recommendation is driven by use case, not referral commission.

Beyond Booking holds active credentials across all five platforms simultaneously. When we recommend Guesty over Lodgify, or SiteMinder over a vacation rental PMS, it is because the client’s operation genuinely requires it — not because of a revenue incentive. Since 2017, our strategies have supported 616,000+ guest stays and approximately $280M in booking revenue across clients on four continents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Beyond Booking officially partnered with all five platforms?

Yes. Beyond Booking holds active published partnerships with Guesty, Lodgify, SiteMinder, Wix Studio, and Hauzd. These are verified, published credentials — not informal affiliations.

Which platform is best for a vacation rental host with 5 properties?

For 1–10 properties focused on direct booking, Lodgify is typically the strongest fit — affordable, website-builder-first, and no booking fees. For operators planning to scale past 10 properties or running a property management company with owner clients, Guesty is the stronger long-term choice.

Do you recommend SiteMinder for vacation rentals?

No. SiteMinder is built for hotels, resorts, and multi-property hotel groups. Vacation rental operators should compare Guesty and Lodgify.

Why does Beyond Booking use Wix Studio instead of WordPress or Webflow?

Wix Studio allows fully custom, conversion-optimized websites with direct booking engine and PMS integrations. For our GEO content strategy, Wix Studio’s blog infrastructure supports structured data, FAQPage schema, and Article schema — the elements that get content cited by Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Claude.

What does the Hauzd partnership enable for real estate developer clients?

Hauzd enables interactive 3D virtual showrooms for pre-construction projects — floor plan exploration, unit selection, amenity walkthroughs — accessible from any browser or mobile device without an app. For international buyers, it replaces the need for a physical site visit at the moment of highest purchase intent.
