The LAZY™ visual editor is where hosts run their vacation rental websites and take direct bookings. LAZY™ websites run on our own visual editor, built specifically for vacation rentals. Change text, photos, entire design, manage reviews, update guidebook, or add new sections. All of it in a couple of clicks.
This is the real LAZY™ editor, and you can’t break it. On the left are the buttons for everything you can change: the words, the look, the colors and your photos. On the right is your website, just as guests see it. Along the top: go back a step, save, see it on a phone, and make your changes live. Press the pink dots to see what each part does.
The Help Center explains every part of the editor.
The editor does much more than change text and pictures. Here are some of our favorite features. You can also add photo slideshows, maps, pricing cards, social feeds, welcome offers, local weather, inquiry forms, and more.
Your website. Your way of taking bookings.
Connect Lodgify, Hospitable, Guesty, or OwnerRez to display your booking widget and calendar directly on your website.
Prefer to speak with guests before confirming? Use inquiry mode. Guests check availability and send you a request.
For example, a host who uses Lodgify shows the Lodgify booking widget on their vacation rental website, and guests book direct instead of through Airbnb.
Change the look of your entire website from one place.
Choose your fonts, text sizes, colors, spacing, and corner styles. Adjust individual details or start with a ready-made design skin.
Your changes apply consistently across every page. Experiment as much as you like — you can always return to your original design.
For example, change one color and every button and heading on every page follows.
Make a great first impression.
The hero is the first section your guests see. Choose from seven layouts: Hero, Split, Editorial, Bottom, Frame, Gallery, or L-shape.
Add your logo, adjust its size, change your property name's appearance, and choose which photos take center stage.
Switch layouts in one click without losing your content.
For example, switch from Hero to Split: your photos, logo and property name move with you.
A local guide your guests will actually use.
LAZY™ finds restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, and other useful places near your rental and puts them on an interactive map.
Guests can browse by category, check locations, and get directions.
Make it personal: remove places you don't recommend, add your favorites, and include your own photos and local tips.
First, LAZY™ fills the map with nearby places. Then you remove the ones you don’t recommend and add your favorites.
Your great reviews deserve a place on your own website.
Import guest reviews from Airbnb and other platforms. Choose which reviews to display and pin your favorites to the top.
For example, pin the review that mentions your view so guests read it first.
Let visitors see what previous guests loved about your property, right where they're considering their stay.
An AI assistant that knows your property.
Your assistant uses information from your website and anything else you provide — house rules, welcome letters, instructions, or local recommendations.
Guests can ask about the property or surrounding area and get answers anytime.
If the assistant doesn't know the answer, it can pass the question along to you.
Keep its knowledge up to date simply by updating your website or adding new information.
Choose how guests book: through Airbnb, your booking platform, or an inquiry.
Your website is where guests decide. Booking is where they say yes. You choose what happens when a guest presses the booking button, and you can change it at any time in the editor.
The booking button opens your Airbnb listing, and the guest books there as usual. The same works for Vrbo and Booking.com. Nothing new to set up.
If you use Hospitable, Guesty, Lodgify or OwnerRez, we put its booking box and calendar right on your website. Guests pick dates and book without leaving your site.
Prefer to talk to guests first? They check dates and send you a request. You reply and decide. An inquiry is a request, not a confirmed booking.
A booking platform, such as Lodgify, is a separate service you sign up for. It keeps your calendar and your rates, takes the booking and the payment, and keeps your dates in step with Airbnb and the other sites you list on. Your LAZY™ website shows the platform’s booking box, so the booking itself happens in your platform, under your account.
We have tested Hospitable, Guesty, Lodgify and OwnerRez, and we use Lodgify ourselves as hosts. If your platform offers a booking box for websites, we can usually connect it too.
| LAZY™ | Your booking platform | An insurance company | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your website | Designs it, hosts it, keeps it running | ||
| Booking button | Puts it on your website and sends guests where you choose | Shows its booking box and calendar on your website | |
| Calendar and rates | Keeps them, and keeps your dates in step with Airbnb | ||
| The booking | Takes it | ||
| Payment | Takes it, into your own account | ||
| Inquiries | Sends guests’ requests to you | ||
| Insurance | Some offer partner insurance per stay, like Guesty | Covers damage and accidents during a stay |
LAZY™ doesn’t provide insurance. You might want to explore the insurance options your direct booking platform offers. For example, Guesty offers partner insurance on a per-stay basis.
What this means for you: guests can book the way you prefer, from your own website, and you keep full control of your bookings and your money.
