Lepta for holiday home operators
See how many bookings come direct and what brings them
We bring bookings from Airbnb, Booking and direct channels, WhatsApp and Telegram chats, costs and owner payouts into one database. You'll know what each channel really costs, which units earn and where new owners come from.
Fixed-price pilotYour data stays with you
Where money leaks
Where a holiday home operator usually loses money
Platform fees eat your margin
Many bookings come through Airbnb and Booking, and each one carries a fee. You can't see how many guests could book direct next time or what drives direct bookings.
Lepta: shows the real cost of a booking in every channel and what brings direct and repeat guests.
Unclear where new owners come from
You grow when new units come under management. What it costs to sign an owner and which channel brings profitable units usually goes uncounted.
Lepta: shows, channel by channel, each owner's path from first contact to signed contract.
Owners don't trust the reports
Reports are pieced together by hand from several spreadsheets. Owners call with questions, doubt the numbers and may move to another operator.
Lepta: pulls bookings, costs with receipts and payouts for each unit into a clear owner report.
You can't see which unit makes money
Cleaning, linen, repairs, DEWA bills and fees are scattered across chats and bank statements. A power bill spiking in an empty unit, or a loss-making property, gets noticed late.
Lepta: shows each unit's income after all costs and flags unusual bills.
Where we start
Pilot: booking and owner channels
No brief needed. After the free audit we offer a two-week pilot on your data. For a holiday home operator we'd start here and agree the exact scope after the audit.
- What a booking costs in each channelAirbnb, Booking, your website and ads: what's left of a booking after fees and acquisition costs.
- Repeat guestsHow many guests book with you again and through which channels. That's where direct bookings start.
- Where owners come fromWhat it costs to sign an owner through ads, partner agencies and referrals, and which channels bring profitable units.
After the pilot you can add: your own direct booking website, an owner portal with bookings, costs and payouts, per-unit income after costs, utility bill checks.

From click to cash
See which channels bring bookings and new owners. Direct and repeat guests sit in one database, and they get offers only with their consent and an easy opt-out. Ask Lepta helps your managers.
How WhatsApp attribution works →Operations and apps
A direct booking website under your brand, check-ins, cleaning and repair tasks in an app, damage deposits. If you already use a channel manager, we connect to it.
Finance
Banks across countries and crypto in one view. Income, costs and payouts per unit and per owner.
Banks and crypto in one view →Analyst on subscription
Every month we review occupancy, prices and unit returns and suggest what to change, such as which units earn more on monthly lets in summer.
How the analyst works →Questions
Good to know before the audit
We already use a channel manager and a pricing tool. Why Lepta?
They run your calendar, prices and bookings, and we don't replace them. Lepta takes their data and links it with your ads, WhatsApp and Telegram chats, owner acquisition and bank accounts.
Can we start with part of the portfolio?
Yes. The pilot can run on part of your portfolio, say 10 units, and grow once you see the value.
Will owners see more than they should?
No. Access is role-based: an owner sees only their own units, bookings, costs and payouts.
