Why DirectBnB
Irish B&Bs and guesthouses, booked the way they used to be
Before the big apps, finding a B&B in Ireland meant a phone call to the actual owner. DirectBnB brings that back, a free directory of real Irish B&Bs and guesthouses you contact directly, with no booking fee added on top and no algorithm deciding who you see first.
No platform fee, ever
Big booking apps add a service fee on top of the room rate, often 10 to 15 percent, paid by you or quietly absorbed by the owner. DirectBnB charges guests nothing and owners nothing to list. The price you see is the price you pay.
- Free to list, free to browse, free to contact
- Every B&B checked against the Fáilte Ireland register
- You deal with the actual owner, not a call centre
Three steps, no account needed.

Frequently asked
DirectBnB, in plain English
Is DirectBnB really free?
Yes. It costs nothing to browse, nothing to contact an owner, and nothing for a B&B to list. There is no booking fee added anywhere in the process.
How do I actually book a room?
You contact the owner directly using the phone number or email on their listing and arrange the stay with them, the same way people booked B&Bs for decades before booking apps existed.
Are the B&Bs on DirectBnB legitimate?
Every listing is checked against Fáilte Ireland's official register where the B&B holds an approval, and against public business details otherwise. Listings marked Fáilte Ireland Approved have been quality assessed by Ireland's tourism authority.
I run a B&B, how do I get listed?
Head to the list your B&B page and send us your details. Listing is free and there is no ongoing fee to stay listed.
