Bookrail makes your holiday let bookable by ChatGPT, Claude and other AI assistants using live prices and availability. Guests pay you directly, and you approve every booking.
LIVE NOW at Rose Cottage, Fife — believed to be the first holiday let in the UK an AI assistant can book end to end.
A real flow, not a mock-up — these are Rose Cottage's live September prices.
Watch an AI assistant find, price and request a booking for a real holiday let. The owner approves it from their phone, the guest pays the deposit through Stripe, and the money goes directly to the owner's bank.
The video recreates the same end-to-end booking journey every Bookrail property uses.
"Book Rose Cottage, 10–17 Oct, 8 guests, 1 dog." Claude, ChatGPT or other AI assistants check live availability, prices and rules before requesting a booking.
Bookrail returns an accurate quote using your live calendar and rate table. No guesses. No outdated prices.
The request arrives on your phone with the guest's details and dates. Nothing is confirmed until you tap Approve. (This is your only step.)
NOTHING CONFIRMS WITHOUT YOUOnce you approve, the guest pays securely through Stripe. The deposit goes straight to your bank. No OTA commission.
Bookrail doesn't just make your property readable by AI. It keeps your booking system running around the clock, so AI assistants can check live availability, request bookings and take secure payments — all while you stay in complete control.
AI assistants can read your live availability, prices and booking rules, then send booking requests directly to you.
Every booking request comes to your phone first. Nothing is confirmed until you tap Approve.
Secure Stripe payments go straight to your bank. No OTA commission. No middleman.
Your existing calendar stays in sync automatically, so availability is always up to date.
Your property stays structured and up to date so AI assistants can understand it accurately as AI search evolves.
AI assistants change quickly. We keep Bookrail compatible, monitored and improving, so your property keeps working without you lifting a finger.
There's plenty of AI hype. We'd rather show you exactly what Bookrail does today and be honest about what we're still building.
On a £1,365 booking like the one shown above, here's the difference between taking a booking through an OTA and taking it direct with Bookrail.
Typical 15–20% commission. Money paid to the platform.
Stripe card fee on the deposit. Money goes straight to your bank.
That's around £205–273 more staying in your business, not paid in commission. Just two direct bookings a year typically pay for your Bookrail subscription. Example based on a £1,365 booking and typical OTA commissions of 15–20%.
plus a one-off setup from £750 — we do all the work, you paste one calendar link. £19/month for each additional property.
Two direct bookings a year typically pay for your Bookrail subscription. Cancel anytime. Your website, your guests and your bookings stay yours.
I'm Grant, and I own Rose Cottage. Like many independent owners, I didn't want to keep paying £205–273 in commission on a £1,365 booking — especially when the guest had already decided to visit Fife.
I have a keen interest in payment and automation systems, so when AI assistants started changing how people search and book, I rebuilt my own booking journey from the ground up. Live prices. Owner approval. Direct payments. No commission.
It worked, so I turned it into Bookrail and made it available to other independent holiday-let owners.
You'll always deal directly with me. Before you spend a penny, I'll happily show you Bookrail running on my own cottage, answer every question, and explain exactly how it would work for yours.
