Hosts list their own properties
Each host signs up, submits a property with real photos and amenities, and you approve or decline it with a reason before it goes live.

Live todayTake hotel and homestay bookings without paying an aggregator
Hotels, resorts, homestays, villas, unique stays, parking spaces and hourly stays — hosts list their own properties, a real availability calendar, and a guest who booked with you and can be brought back by you.
- Hosts get their own login
- A room can never double-book
- Direct guest relationship
What Hotel & stays booking app actually is
Every room sold through an aggregator costs a host somewhere between fifteen and twenty-five percent, and the guest belongs to the aggregator afterwards. This is the direct-booking alternative, built as a real marketplace: independent hosts sign up and list their own properties across seven types — hotels, resorts, homestays, villas, unique stays, parking spaces and hourly stays — you approve what goes live, and every night is claimed in a single database operation so two guests paying at the same instant can never get the same room. Nightly stays and hourly stays run on two genuinely different booking engines underneath, both airtight. People who reach this page have usually looked at what OYO, MakeMyTrip, Booking.com or Airbnb charge a host and wondered what running that themselves, for their own city or region, would take.
A room can never sell twice
Every night is claimed in one database operation. Two guests paying for the last room at the same instant cannot both get it — one is told immediately and nothing is charged.
Nightly or hourly, correctly
Hotels, resorts, homestays, villas and unique stays book by the night with real per-date availability; parking spaces and hourly stays book by 3, 6 or 12-hour slots on a genuinely different engine underneath.
What you get on day one
Two cuts, kept apart
What you take from a host is set per host and snapshotted onto every booking, so a rate change never rewrites what they were already owed. What 10mins bills you is a flat 5% of your tracked sales, invoiced separately.
Your own website and app
A branded marketing site with real direct booking (guests can book without installing anything) and an installable app, both in your colours.
Guests pay you directly
Payment runs through your own gateway — 10mins never holds guest money. Cash/pay-at-property is always offered even before you connect one.
A host's own console
Every host manages their own properties, room types, amenities and photos, sees their own earnings net of your commission, and can flag a problem to you directly.
Hotel & stays booking app: the usual way vs 10mins
Figures quoted for other companies are the publicly discussed ranges; ours are what we actually charge.
| The usual way | On 10mins | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission per booking | 15-25% to an OTA, set by them | 5% of tracked sales, billed to you. A host's own cut is set by you |
| Who the guest belongs to | The aggregator. You rarely see them again | You. The guest booked on your own domain and can be brought back by you |
| Cost to start | Rs 10-50 lakh for a custom build | Rs 0. Nothing charged before you earn |
| Time to launch | 6-18 months of development | About 10 minutes |
| Double bookings | A known risk on spreadsheet-run properties | A night is claimed in one database operation, so two guests paying at once cannot both get it |
| Who can list a property | You, alone, on every platform you're on | Any host you approve — your marketplace grows as they sign up |
Questions people ask
Can I take hotel or homestay bookings on 10mins today?
Yes. Hosts sign up, list a property under whichever of the seven types you've enabled, and you approve it before it goes live. Guests book directly on your own branded website or app.
Is this the same as the ticket booking app?
No. Ticket booking sells a fixed number of seats or slots at one fixed time — a bus, a screen, a concert. This sells a room across a range of NIGHTS, so availability is a calendar problem with rates that change by season and length of stay, which is a genuinely different engine.
Can hosts list their own properties, or do I have to add everything myself?
Hosts list their own — their own photos, pricing, amenities and room types — through their own login. You review and approve each listing before it reaches guests, with a reason attached to any decline.
Can two guests book the same room by accident?
No. Every night is claimed in a single database operation, so there is no window between checking and booking. If two guests pay at the same instant, one gets the room and the other is told immediately without being charged.
What does it cost?
Nothing to launch. 10mins bills 5% of your tracked sales, invoiced periodically. Guests pay through your own gateway, so 10mins never holds booking money. A host's own cut is set by you, per host, and kept separate from the platform fee.
Can I take direct bookings instead of paying OYO or MakeMyTrip commission?
Yes — that is the whole point. Aggregators typically take fifteen to twenty-five percent and keep the guest relationship afterwards. Here the guest books on your own domain, pays you directly, and is yours to bring back next season.
How would this differ from listing on Airbnb or Booking.com?
Those are the marketplace, and your property is their supplier. Here you are the marketplace: your brand, your hosts, your commission, your guest list. A host who wants their own hotel or homestay listed under your brand signs up directly rather than competing for placement on someone else's app.
Other apps you can launch on 10mins
Your app can be live today
No setup fee, no developer, no app store. You pay 5% of what you actually sell — nothing before that.
