How it works
Three steps. Then you forget it’s there.
BrowseStay stays out of your way until it has something worth telling you.
Add it to your browser
One click from the Chrome Web Store. No signup, no card, no account.
Browse as you always do
Search Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com normally. We check each stay against our verified owner network.
Book direct with the owner
When a home has a direct option, a small badge appears. Open the owner’s site and book with the person who owns the keys.

Why travellers use BrowseStay
Browse by destination
See every verified direct-booking home in a location, grouped and ready.
Verified owners, never guesses
Every direct link comes from an owner who chose to be listed. No scraped numbers, no dead links.
Quiet by design
A small badge, never a popup over the booking button. Minimise it and it stays minimised.
Trust
What “verified” actually means.
Not one vague badge. Each check is separate, dated, and reviewed.
Company verified
The business identity behind the listing has been reviewed.
Website verified
The owner proved they control the direct booking domain.
Property verified
The home is confirmed to belong to that business.
Direct link verified
The button leads to a working booking path, not a dead page.
Verification reduces risk — it is not a guarantee. Each badge carries the date it was last checked.
Why book direct
The fee isn’t buying you anything.
Booking platforms are brilliant at helping you discover a home. They are also charging you for the privilege of clicking “reserve” — on a stay the owner already listed at a lower price on their own site.
Added at the last screen
Guest service fees typically land at checkout, after you have fallen for the place. The nightly rate you compared was never the real number.
Extra value received
The same house. The same owner. The same keys. The fee buys you nothing the owner’s own site does not already give you.
To find it yourself
You could copy the title, search the owner’s name, guess the domain, and hope. BrowseStay does it the moment the listing loads.
Savings vary by property, dates, and booking channel. Final pricing always lives on the owner's site.
Honest comparison
Most fee-finders stop at Airbnb.
And most guess the owner's website from public data. A link you can't trust is worse than no link at all.

For owners
Book with the owner, not the middleman
