CraftedStays Wins 2025 Direct Booking Website Builder of the Year

CraftedStays, a website platform built specifically for short-term rental operators and property management companies, has been named the 2025 Short-Term Rental Direct Booking Website Builder of the Year by Travel & Hospitality Tech Outlook.

The award recognizes platforms that demonstrate excellence in direct booking performance, website design, conversion optimization, user experience, and overall value to operators. CraftedStays was selected for its ability to deliver agency-quality websites through an affordable, scalable SaaS model, enabling hosts and property managers to strengthen their brand and reduce reliance on online travel agencies.

"This award validates what our customers have been telling us — that modern STR operators need purpose-built technology, not retrofitted WordPress sites," said Gil Chan, founder and CEO of CraftedStays. "We've helped property managers see 20-75% conversion improvements, and this recognition reflects that measurable impact."

CraftedStays provides pre-designed, conversion-driven website templates, customizable branding options, seamless PMS integrations with Hostaway, Hostfully, Hospitable, Guesty, and OwnerRez, and built-in tools that help operators increase direct traffic and conversions.
