What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t a listing marketplace you sign up for and configure — it’s an AI app builder that builds software for you.
You describe the site or app you need in your own words, and Kliv builds it: the data, the rules, the pages, and the screens. What you get is a real application that’s yours, on your own domain. You can use it and keep changing it later by asking for changes. It isn’t a theme you fill in.
On this page, that app is an Airbnb-style vacation rental platform for direct bookings. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; this is one of them, and that’s what the rest of this page covers.
Why build your own rental platform?
Listing platforms can help with discovery, but they charge for the relationship every time. If you own cottages or apartments with returning guests, you may need a direct booking site with your calendars, your prices, your cancellation policy, and your guest instructions.
Kliv builds the direct-booking site around your properties. Each cottage has its own record and calendar. Bookings cannot overlap. Seasonal prices switch on the dates you set.
What eleven cottages keep track of
The records behind a direct rental operation.
Cottages
Sleeps six, sauna type, pet rule, rowboat, photos, and description live on each cottage record. The calendar belongs to that property.
Bookings and guests
Party size, dates, firewood add-on, and guest history stay with the booking. Returning families can be recognized without rebuilding notes.
Seasons and prices
Midsummer weeks at €1,450 and September weeks at €560 can be price windows with dates. The store enforces the calendar you set.
Turnover board
Checkout at 11 and check-in at 16 become Saturday’s cleaning list: which cottages turn over, which stay occupied, and which need extra tasks.
Guest guidebook
Sauna instructions, oar storage, local notes, and cottage-specific files are readable by the guest during the stay and closed after checkout.
Seasonal booking tasks
High season depends on small details running on time.
Door codes on schedule
A scheduled job can email each arriving guest their door code and directions on check-in morning.
Guest assistant
The assistant answers from the guidebook you wrote and can use that guest’s own booking details, such as cottage, dates, and add-ons.
Add-ons in checkout
Firewood, rowboat, and late checkout can be one-time items on the same order as the stay.
Reviews from real stays
Review invitations go only to completed bookings, and submissions wait for moderation.
Found without the middleman
Every cottage page can be prerendered for search engines and AI assistants, with a sitemap on your own domain.
An example: Marja’s lakeside cottages
Here’s how one owner might use it. It’s only an example — you would describe your own properties, calendars, prices, guests, tasks, and policies.
Each cottage gets its own calendar
Marja lists eleven cottages with photos, capacity, sauna type, pet rule, and guidebook. Each property has a separate calendar that refuses overlapping bookings.
Seasonal prices switch on time
Midsummer weeks cost €1,450 and September weeks cost €560 because those price windows were set before the season opened.
Returning guests book direct
A returning family books cottage 7 for the same July week and adds firewood. The booking, payment, add-on, and guest history stay together.
Saturday cleaning is generated from bookings
The turnover board shows checkout at 11, check-in at 16, which cottages need cleaning, and which tasks apply to each one.
Arrival instructions send themselves
On check-in morning, each guest receives the door code, directions, and guidebook details for their own cottage.
Reviews come from completed stays
After checkout, the family gets a review request. Marja approves the review before it appears on the site.
Describe the rental platform you want
Kliv builds from your description, so the more detail you give, the closer the first version. Include properties, calendars, prices, add-ons, turnover tasks, emails, and cancellation rules. Here are three to build on:
Eleven cottages
Property pages and no overlapping bookings.
“Build a direct-booking site for eleven lakeside cottages. Each cottage should have its own calendar, photos, description, capacity, sauna type, pet rule, and guidebook, and overlapping bookings must be impossible.”
Seasonal pricing
Price windows that switch automatically.
“Add seasonal price windows so midsummer weeks cost €1,450, September weeks cost €560, and Christmas weeks cost €1,100, switching automatically on the dates I set before the season opens.”
Turnover board
Cleaner tasks generated from bookings.
“Create a cleaning turnover board that lists every Saturday changeover with checkout at 11, check-in at 16, cottage-specific tasks, firewood add-ons, sauna-stove cleaning, and guest arrival status.”
How it comes together
A stay can be a one-time purchase paid in full at booking through your own Stripe account. The week is confirmed when payment lands, and guidebook access and door-code emails follow from the booking.
Returning families can use promotion codes you choose. Cancellations follow your policy: credit can apply quickly, and cash refunds can wait for approval.
Before the season opens, the Sandbox can run the store on test payments and simulated time: book a summer, cancel a week, and watch the turnover board react.
A cottage business is a local business with a jetty. The wider case for owning local bookings is on the local businesses page.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI app builder that builds custom web apps from a description. For vacation rentals, it can build property pages, calendars, booking, checkout, turnover boards, guest emails, guidebooks, reviews, and admin screens.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. Kliv builds the data, rules, pages, checkout, and admin tools for your properties.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. You can change property fields, prices, add-ons, cancellation rules, cleaning tasks, and guest emails later by asking.
Can a double booking ever happen?
No. Each property’s bookings can use an overlap rule enforced by the database, so two bookings cannot claim the same cottage for the same dates.
What does Kliv take per booking?
Kliv does not price by bookings, guests, or listings. Card processing is between you and Stripe on your own Stripe account.
Can guests cancel by themselves?
They can request cancellation from their booking page. Your policy decides whether they get a credit, a rebooking option, or a refund that waits for approval.
Do we lose listing sites entirely?
That is your call. Many owners keep listings for first-time discovery and move returning guests to the direct site.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. The direct-booking site can run on your own domain.
Will the site show up in search?
Yes. Property pages can be prerendered for search engines and AI assistants, with a sitemap generated for your domain.
Can guests add firewood or late checkout?
Yes. Add-ons can be one-time items in the same checkout as the stay.
Do guests need Stripe accounts?
No. Guests pay by card. Stripe is how the money reaches your account.
Do I need a separate CMS?
No. Properties, guidebooks, bookings, reviews, and page text are managed inside the app.
