The video plays from YouTube when you press play. Nothing loads from YouTube before that.
Cavmir's one-minute commercial on what Airbnb's 15.5% host fee takes from a booking, and what owners can build instead with their own name, website and guests.
You own a beautiful house. On Airbnb's single-fee structure, most hosts now pay a 15.5% host service fee, taken out of the payout. On a $1,000 booking that is $155, gone before you ever see it. Smart owners build something Airbnb can't take: their own name, their own direct booking website and their own guests. That is what Cavmir does.

Questions
Questions Owners Ask
Does Cavmir manage my property?
No. Cavmir is a marketing agency, not a property manager.
Do you only work with Airbnb listings?
No. We market short-term rentals on every platform, plus direct booking brands, bed and breakfasts and boutique hotels.
What is a direct booking website?
Your own site, where guests check dates, see the price and book with you instead of through a platform.
Do I have to leave Airbnb?
No. A direct booking website works alongside your Airbnb and Vrbo listings.
How long until marketing shows results?
Listing optimization and paid ads can move views and bookings within weeks. SEO and AI search optimization compound over months.
