Owner panel
What the booking panel looks like
Paulina and Marcin log in and see guest requests and a seasonal price calendar. One click approves a reservation, the e-mail to the guest goes out automatically. Below, a slice of the panel with sample data (the panel is in Polish, the client is Polish).
Sample data. Real requests go straight to the owners, no middlemen.
Challenge
What Huba Home needed
Paulina and Marcin rent out two log cabins with a view of the Tatras and a private SPA. They were taking bookings by phone and social media. They needed a site that looks as good as their place and accepts bookings automatically, without middlemen.
Marcin comes from Germany. The site had to work in Polish, English and German.
Project scope
Website, booking system and multilingual setup
Website, 8 subpages
Designed from scratch. A consistent visual identity: a serif typeface, gold and graphite, atmospheric photos. Every element leads to one goal: a booking.
- Home page with live availability and a price preview
- Separate subpages for both cabins. The Gold one (8 guests) and the Black one (6 guests)
- Gallery, the story of the place, SPA and price list
- Local guide. Czorsztyn, the Pieniny, the Tatras, the Gorce, Wdżar, Czorsztyn-Ski
- Booking form with validation and e-mail notifications
Custom online booking system, no middlemen, no subscription
Instead of locking the client into Booking.com or a paid SaaS, a custom system built to measure.

360° tour, live
Full package: website, system and a 360° tour
On top of the website and the custom booking system, a 360° virtual tour was added. Guests walk through the Huba Home grounds, the playground, the SPA zone and the terrace with its panorama of the Tatra and Pieniny mountains and Lake Czorsztyn, before they book. Captured with express 3D scanning (Matterport Axis), hosted on Google Maps, it loads only after you click.

Outcome
Zero middlemen. Zero subscription.
Zero platform lock-in.
Instead of taking bookings by phone and through social media, Paulina and Marcin have a site that collects inquiries on its own, around the clock. The client handles everything herself. The panel comes with a step-by-step manual, no tech jargon.
Every booking that comes in this way goes straight to the owners, so there is no portal commission on those dates. The more guests book directly on the site, the lower the average platform commission. On top of that, no subscription for an external platform generates a fixed cost.

Got a similar property?
Do you run a guesthouse
or short-term rental?
I can do the same for you, a website with a custom booking system, tailored to your property. The more guests book directly, the less you hand over to the portals in commission.
You don't have to start with a full system. Even a simple site with a booking form (from 1 299 PLN net) already lets you take inquiries directly and confirm dates by hand, which means you pay no Booking.com commission on those reservations. An automatic online system with payments and calendar sync, like the one for Huba Home, is the next step, once the property grows.
