ORIGIN STORY
Every month, we watched 15-20% of our revenue vanish into OTA fees for... what exactly? A listing? A calendar? A payment gateway? We built Solvaya to give property owners what OTAs never will: independence.
We ran vacation rentals. We listed on Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia. We paid the commissions because everyone said "that's just how it works."
But the math never made sense. On €100K in annual bookings, we were paying €17,000 to OTAs. For what? A listing page. A calendar that we could have synced ourselves. A payment gateway that charges 3% anyway.
The worst part? We didn't own the guest relationship. The OTA did. They controlled the messaging, the reviews, the data. Our guests? They were Airbnb guests who happened to stay at our property.

OUR MISSION
Not to destroy OTAs — they serve a purpose for discovery. But to remove the dependency. To give owners the tools to build direct relationships with their guests, own their data, and keep the revenue they earn.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
No hidden fees. No percentage-based pricing that quietly grows. One flat rate, clearly stated. We show our math because we're proud of it.
Your guest data is yours. Your brand is yours. Your revenue is yours. We build tools that transfer power from platforms to property owners.
Flat pricing, not percentage-based. A 5-bedroom villa and a studio apartment pay the same per property. Your success doesn't increase our take.
