The price you see is the price you pay

Places to stay, booked directly with the people who run them. The total is on the first screen, not the last one. No service fee — not a low one, none.

What is different here

Where it hurtsUsuallyHere
The price Grows on the way to checkout One number, from the first screen
Reviews An average of 4.73 stars Six categories, and how many guests would come back
The host Pays 15% and rents your attention back Keeps their own booking page and their regulars
After you book A confirmation email and silence The same system runs the stay: door code, cleaning, invoice

Opening with our own places first

Smahoma Stays starts where Smahoma already runs the building: the studios in Sibiu. Hosts who already use Smahoma Properties come next, then everyone else. A short list that is actually bookable beats a long one that is mostly stale.

Where this is going

  1. Your own booking page. Every host gets one at stays.smahoma.com/stay/…, with availability, price, deposit and invoice. Works today.
  2. One calendar across platforms. Airbnb and Booking read this calendar and this calendar reads theirs, so a night cannot sell twice. Works today.
  3. A list worth browsing. Once enough places are live, the search across all of them becomes worth using — regionally complete rather than globally thin.
  4. Then, and only then, asking in your own words. "Two adults, a toddler, a car to park, quiet, under €180" is a better question than six filter boxes — but only when there is something to choose from.
