Houfy
← Listing Sites & OTAsFind no service fee vacation rentals on Houfy and book direct with hosts. Save up to 20% on booking fees and explore 98K+ vacation rentals in 100+ countries.
Houfy is the anti-OTA: a listing community where hosts publish properties with full contact details and take bookings directly, paying no commission, with Houfy monetizing through optional services rather than transaction fees. It grew as a rallying point for hosts frustrated by platform fees and control, and functions today as both a direct booking storefront and a knowledge community where experienced hosts trade tactics. Demand volume cannot rival the giants, but every Houfy booking is fee-free and relationship-owned, making it a natural companion to a direct booking strategy.
