We’re property owners too.
We got tired of the math.

Every month, we watched 15-20% of our revenue vanish into OTA fees. For what? A listing? A calendar? We built Solvaya to give property owners what OTAs never will: independence.

The Origin

It started with a spreadsheet.

In early 2024, we sat down and calculated what we were actually paying the OTAs. Not the listed commission — the real number after all the hidden fees, service charges, and booking penalties.

The number was disgusting. We were paying over €40,000 a year across our properties just to list them. For what? A booking system that we couldn’t customize. Guest data we couldn’t access. Communication platforms that owned our relationships.

So we did what engineers do: we built our own. A channel manager that did everything the OTAs did — except take a percentage. A tool that put the property owner back in control.

Solvaya was born from frustration. It’s the product we wish had existed years ago.

The Team

Three people who got fed up

Property owners, engineers, and operators. Not suit-wearing salespeople.

Jonathan

Developer & AI Lead

Built the platform. Wrote every line of code. Believes technology should empower, not extract.

Milan

Sales & Partnerships

Knows every property owner’s pain point because he’s lived them. Built the partner network.

Niels

Marketing & Growth

The storyteller. Makes sure property owners know there’s a better way. Also runs three rentals.

What we stand for

Three principles. No compromises.

Transparency

No hidden fees. No surprise charges. One flat price that covers everything. We tell you exactly what you’re paying and exactly what you’re getting.

Ownership

You own your guest relationships. You own your data. You own your brand. OTAs are middlemen who profit by owning what’s yours. We don’t.

Fairness

Flat pricing, not percentage-based. The more you succeed, the less we cost relative to your revenue. Your growth shouldn’t be punished.

We’re property owners too. We got tired of the math.
