Proposal for Lime Garden Inn

Every direct booking is a commission kept.

Right now, people find Lime Garden Inn through Airbnb and Booking.com, and you pay a booking commission every single time. Let's give your 9-acre garden its own home online, so guests can book directly with you. No OTA commission, no middleman.

The Real Cost of OTAs

The Direct Booking Math

On a standard $200 booking, Airbnb's typical 15.5% host fee takes $31 straight out of your pocket. Booking directly still incurs a small payment processing fee (around 3%), but you keep the rest. Over a year, that's a chef's salary.

Booking via OTA

$200

OTA Commission (15.5%) - $31.00
You Keep $169.00

Direct Booking

$200

Processing Fee (3%) - $6.00
You Keep $194.00

* Airbnb charges a standard 15.5% host fee. Direct bookings incur a ~3% payment processing fee.

The Packages

Choose your level of independence

Priced honestly against what things actually cost to build and run in Tanzania today. Nothing is a guess, and nothing is hidden in fine print.

Tier 01

Starter

A first professional website. Built to turn "I found this on Instagram" into a WhatsApp message.

$450 one-time
$40 /month maintenance
  • One polished, mobile-friendly showcase site
  • WhatsApp click-to-chat on every page
  • Basic SEO for Zanzibar searches
  • Hosting, security, 2 edits/mo, 1hr response

Why go bigger: With one page, guests can't see that Kisiwa and Bahari are different rooms. You rely on WhatsApp to explain it every time.

Most Popular

Tier 02

Growth

Multiple units shown properly, plus a real, ongoing presence on social media.

$800 one-time
$140 /month ($100 mkt + $40 maint)
  • Dedicated page per apartment (Kisiwa, Bahari)
  • Google Business Profile setup & optimization
  • Ongoing social media management (IG/FB)
  • Review responses & GBP updates

Why go bigger: You're building an audience, but still can't take a booking directly on your site or capture emails for repeat guests.

Tier 03

Full-Service

Actively shift bookings away from OTA commissions with a live calendar and direct booking.

$1,300 one-time
$240 /month + ad spend
  • Live availability calendar synced to OTAs
  • Direct booking request form
  • Guest email/WhatsApp capture for repeat stays
  • Paid ad management & monthly reporting

The endgame: You take active control of your bookings, build a guest list, and watch your OTA commission bill drop month over month.
