HADO Secure Direct Booking
Direct booking for short-term rentals in Guanajuato, with structure.
HADO Secure Direct Booking connects travelers, owners and investors with verified short-term rentals in Guanajuato through direct booking, confirmed payments, clear rules, local attention and a more organized operation.
It does not necessarily replace Airbnb, Booking or Expedia. It complements them with a clearer local channel to reduce platform dependence without losing visibility.
Confirmed payment. Clear rules. Local attention.
A direct channel works better when the operation has structure from the first message.
The problem
The problem is not only commissions.
Platforms provide visibility, but they can also create dependence: changing rules, direct competition, commissions, less control over the guest relationship and little long-term brand building.
Algorithm dependence.
Visible and hidden commissions.
Less control over the client.
Price-based competition.
Harder guest loyalty.
Risk of unclear off-platform reservations.

Money simulator
Compare Airbnb 16%, Booking, Expedia and HADO.
Enter a base booking amount and review how much the owner keeps, how much each channel deducts and how HADO compares with Airbnb simplified pricing.
This tool answers three questions: how much the owner keeps, how much the guest pays and which channel is worth reviewing first.
| Channel | Owner commission | Amount deducted | Online payment cost | Estimated owner net | Guest visible total | Difference vs Airbnb 16% | Quick read |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Airbnb simplified pricing Scenario based on Airbnb simplified pricing: the guest does not see a separate additional service fee and the commission is deducted from the host payout. For Mexico, this simulation uses 16% as reference. | 16% | MX$1,600 | Not applicable | MX$8,400 | MX$10,000 | Same as Airbnb 16% | The guest sees a clearer price, but the owner absorbs the commission. |
Booking / Expedia Guided scenario for high-exposure channels. Booking and Expedia may vary by contract, program, channel, lodging type and publication terms. | 18% | MX$1,800 | Not applicable | MX$8,200 | MX$10,000 | -MX$200 vs Airbnb 16% | High exposure, variable commission and less direct guest relationship. |
HADO Simple Booking For owners who want direct booking with less friction: basic quote, confirmed payment and visible rules, without a formal contract or guarantee deposit. | 6% | MX$600 | MX$363 | MX$9,037 | MX$10,000 | +MX$637 vs Airbnb 16% | More margin, less operational protection. |

The important part is not only paying less commission.
A simple booking can leave more money on paper, but it can also use a lighter process. HADO Secure Direct Booking aims to balance money and order: more net than Airbnb 16% in many scenarios, clear terms for the guest and more operational support for the owner.
This simulation is guided. Real commissions may vary by platform, contract, season, payment method, taxes, cleaning, discounts, channel policies and property-specific conditions.
Why we use Airbnb 16%
Airbnb is moving certain listings to simplified pricing: the guest pays the published price without a visible additional service fee and the commission is deducted from the host payout. That is why this comparison uses 16% as the reference for Mexico.
