Kesar Stays — Direct bookings instead of OTA commissions

01Brief

A group of heritage homestays paying 18% commission on every online booking.

02Challenge

Guests trusted the big booking apps more than a small homestay's own site.

03Approach

  • 01 · Creative direction

    Book direct, get more: a free breakfast and late checkout only on the site.

  • 02 · Style

    Warm heritage photography, honest room photos, reviews right beside the price.

  • 03 · Why this

    A clear reason to book direct, plus visible reviews, beats the apps' trust advantage.

  • Booking website
  • Room & rate pages
  • Payment gateway
  • Review widget
