Is it a Channel Manager like Booking or Airbnb?

No. ¡HolaOlas! doesn't sell anything on your behalf. It's your own booking system, to integrate on your site or via a direct link. Zero commission. Payment directly to your Stripe.

Who receives customer payments?

You. Always. ¡HolaOlas! never touches your money. Stripe in your name, cards, deposits, full payments, payment rules you control.

Is it complicated to set up?

No. The system is deliberately structured but simple. You define what you sell, when it's available, at what price and under what rules. The rest follows.

Yes. You can explore, create, understand the flow. The goal of pre-onboarding is precisely to verify that the model suits you, the logic makes sense to you and you see how to use it in your reality.

ORIGIN

¡hola olas! was built on the ground.

Not in a glass tower.

It started as a small sailing tour business

in a Mayan village

in Quintana Roo, Mexico.

Built by someone who pays commissions.

Not by someone who charges them.

Direct booking isn’t just a Mexican problem.

It’s a global one.

So we opened the solution

to everyone.

Booking should be easy.

Not an obstacle course.

One link.

One page.

One booking.

End of story.

Direct booking.

No middleman.

No surprises.

Less visibility

at the beginning.

A lot more money

in the end.

Every direct booking

= a win.

Your customers

are looking for you.

You might as well

open the door.

Grow your business.

Not someone else’s

revenue.

Platforms take their cut.

We leave it

to you.

Fewer intermediaries.

More margin.

More freedom.

Every commission paid

is a choice.

Not a rule.

If you do the work,

you deserve the payment.

Not the middleman.

Work hard

for your business.

Keep your money.

Money earned at X

should stay at X.

Not disappear

into commissions.

Simple businesses

are strong businesses.

Local business.

Local money.

Your work.

Your rules.

Direct beats big.

Own your bookings.

Why shouldn’t you be allowed

to talk to your own customer? 👀

Why does everyone want

to blend into

big platforms’ storefronts?

You can do both.

Just don’t put

all your eggs

in one basket.

The satisfaction of direct booking?

Control.

Trust.

Margin.

Us?

Just another platform?

No.

Our quality standards

are above the industry average.

Our prices are lower.

Strange, isn’t it?

Never underestimate

a satisfied customer.

(An unsatisfied one

as well.)

Fair pricing.

Like yours.

We adjust

to the local reality.

Not shareholders.

Cheap?

No.

Fair.

Pricing built to last.

Not to extract.

We live

in the same ecosystem

you do.

If you win,

we win.

Otherwise

it doesn’t work.

No hidden fees.

No surprises.

For human businesses.

We charge

what’s needed.

Nothing more.

Local business.

Local pricing.

Instant payments.

No “release pending”.

No waiting.

Too good to be true?

No.

Just built differently.

Still not convinced?

Try it.

The future isn’t

in marketplaces.

Direct booking is.

Our advertising budget

is simple.

$5 a day.

That choice allows us

to keep fair pricing.

For you.

Compared to industry giants,

it doesn’t even represent

1%.

If you support this vision,

help us

share it.

Growth may be slower.

But it will be healthy.

We believe

in stability,

trust,

and mutual support.

We believe

in justice.

And in local economies.

Like you,

we rely

on satisfied customers.

Build your booking system

at your own pace.

Everything stays private.

You publish only

when you’re ready.
