Airbnb Clone App: White-Label Multi-Service Rental Marketplace
A launch-ready rental and booking marketplace that runs seven bookable service types on one engine: stays, spaces, cars, tours, boats, events and flights. Guests search and book, hosts list and get paid, and you take a commission you control.
Four surfaces, one Laravel API. A guest web app, a host console, an operator admin of more than twenty modules, and Android and iOS builds that consume the same contracts, so nothing drifts between them. You receive the source code and host it wherever you choose.

Video Walkthrough
Airbnb Clone Video Demo: Booking Flow, Host Tools and Admin Walkthrough
A recorded walkthrough of the platform from three sides. The guest half covers search across the service types you enable, opening a listing with its gallery and map, checking live availability for a date range, applying a coupon, and completing checkout through a configured gateway. The host half shows a listing being created, seasonal pricing set against the calendar, an enquiry answered, and a payout requested against an available balance. The operator half opens the console: a host approved after document review, a listing moved through moderation, a booking status changed by hand, and a payout marked complete. If you would rather see one specific flow than the whole thing, the demo credentials above open the same build, and we will walk any part of it with you on a call.
App Flows
Airbnb Clone App Screens: Guest, Host and Operator Surfaces
The interface across the surfaces that decide whether a marketplace actually gets used. Discovery and search, with the filters that apply to each service type. The listing page with gallery, amenities, reviews and map. The availability and checkout flow, where a date range becomes a priced booking. The host dashboard with its calendar, earnings and payout request. The operator console where hosts are approved and listings moderated. The tabs below group these by role, because a guest screen and a host screen answer different questions, and the same platform has to stay legible to both without either feeling like an afterthought bolted on later.
These are captured from the live demo build rather than drawn as mockups, so what you see here is what deploys. Every screen is rebrandable: name, logo, splash screen, colour theme and typography are configuration rather than a redesign. If you want a guided walkthrough of one specific flow, book a call and we will open that surface with live data and answer questions against it.

Case Studies
Airbnb Clone Case Study: A Short-Stay and Hotel Platform in Italy
Ischia Booking S.r.l runs short-stay rentals and hotel inventory on the island of Ischia. The mechanics of listings, calendars and payments already existed in this platform, so the engagement went into the parts that were specific to them.
Ischia Booking
Short-Stay & Hotel Platform
A short-stay rental and hotel booking platform for the island of Ischia, replacing a static site, a shared inbox and a phone line with a live booking engine.
- A few dozen properties run from a static site, email and a phone
- Availability held in one place while OTAs sold the same rooms
- Guests arriving in several languages with no self-service portal
- Put the whole property list online behind a real booking engine
- Stop the operations team living inside an email inbox
- Keep calendars honest across every channel that sells the rooms
- Listings, calendar and booking flow taken from the base platform
- A channel manager wired to the OTAs they already sold through
- A multilingual guest portal for arrivals from several markets
- A property manager console for day to day operations
- Source code transferred to the client account on handover
"We were running a few dozen properties off a static site, email and a phone. Calendar, booking flow and the property manager came off the shelf. They added a channel manager for our OTAs, a guest portal and a multilingual interface. The operations team no longer lives in the inbox."
The Basics
What Is an Airbnb Clone App?
An Airbnb Clone is a ready-made rental marketplace: guests search and book, hosts list inventory and get paid, and you take a commission on every transaction. This one is not restricted to accommodation. The same booking engine, wallet, review system and payout pipeline serve seven bookable types.
Not a Listings Directory
The value sits in the transaction: availability validated server side, pricing recalculated rather than trusted from the client, commission frozen onto the booking record, and a payout queue that settles hosts. A directory hands over a phone number and stops there.
One Engine, Seven Types
Bookings attach to any service type through a polymorphic reference, so adding cars beside stays does not fork the payment path, the review system or the reporting. That single design decision makes seven types practical rather than seven codebases.
Web and Mobile Do Not Drift
The Android and iOS builds consume the same REST API as the web app, so a rule you change in the admin applies everywhere at once instead of being reimplemented per client.
Built for Web, Android, iOS & API
What Is an Airbnb Clone Script?
The hard part of a rental marketplace is not the listing page. It is holding availability honestly across channels, calculating a total that survives a coupon and a seasonal rate, and settling money to hosts net of a commission that must not change retrospectively. Those are what this ships with.
-
Seven bookable service types, switchable per deployment
-
Instant booking and enquiry-based booking on the same listing
-
Six payment gateways plus an internal wallet
-
Host payouts with a request, review and completion workflow
-
Entity-level translations across fifteen pre-configured languages
In simple words, it is the shortcut to launching a booking marketplace where a guest can reserve a villa, an island tour, a hire car and a boat through one checkout. The platform runs on Laravel 10 and MySQL, carries more than forty database tables, six payment gateways, over twenty admin modules, and fifteen pre-configured languages with right-to-left support.

Revenue Engine
Airbnb Clone Revenue Models: Commission, Plans, Fees and Promotion
A rental marketplace earns from several places at once, and this platform models each separately so you can tune one lever without disturbing the others.
Commission on Every Booking
A platform fee on each transaction, set globally or overridden per host, as a percentage or a fixed amount. The rate that applied when the booking was made is written onto the booking record, which keeps historical reporting honest after a rate change.
Host Subscription Plans
Tiered plans with their own duration, price and annual billing option. A plan maps to a role and carries a listing allowance, so an entry-tier host is capped at a number of listings and upgrades to publish more.
Platform Service Fees
A service fee added on top of the booking total, configurable globally, and calculated into both the price the guest sees and the payout the host receives.
Host-Configured Fees
Hosts attach their own fees, such as cleaning or a security deposit, which flow through the same total calculation rather than being collected off-platform.
Featured Listings
Paid promotion that lifts a listing in search results, sold as a placement rather than a commission, which gives you revenue that does not depend on booking volume.
Wallet Float
Prepaid guest credit and host earnings sit in the platform wallet between payout runs. That balance stays with you until it is withdrawn, and the ledger behind it is auditable per transaction.
The two that move the numbers most are commission and host subscription plans, because they capture two genuinely different things: the value of a transaction, and the value of being listed at all. Commission is stored per booking at the moment of booking, so changing your rate later never rewrites historical earnings.
Control Center
Airbnb Clone Admin Dashboard: Users, Hosts, Bookings, Payouts and Compliance
Over twenty admin modules, each behind its own permission. The role system is granular enough that a finance clerk can process payouts without reaching user management, and a moderator can approve listings without touching settings.
Operator Control
Platform Dashboard
Revenue, bookings, user growth and recent activity on one screen, with pending host and payout requests surfaced as actions rather than buried in a list.
User & Role Management
Search and filter users, assign roles, block or publish an account, override email verification, and define custom roles with permissions chosen per module.
Host Approval & Verification
The upgrade request workflow with identity document review, business profile capture and commission configuration, so a host is checked before they can publish.
Listing Moderation
One queue covering all seven service types with status filters, bulk approve and reject, featured-listing control and full editing rights over any listing.
Booking Oversight
Every booking across the marketplace with status filters, detail view, manual status changes, payment state and refund processing when a guest needs intervention.
Payments & Payouts
Transaction monitoring per gateway, the payout queue with review, approval and completion tracking, and payout history retained for reconciliation and tax.
Commission & Coupons
Commission set globally or per host as percentage or fixed, plus a coupon engine with usage limits, validity windows, minimum totals and per-user restriction.
Locations & Languages
A nested location tree from country through state and city to neighbourhood, and a translation interface covering interface strings and per-entity content.
Content & Templates
CMS pages, a news engine, email and page templates, a menu builder and a media library with a watermark module for protecting listing images.
- Platform revenue, bookings and user growth at a glance
- Pending host requests surfaced as actions
- Payout queue with review and completion tracking
- Refund processing and payment state per booking
System & Extensibility
Module and plugin management to switch capability on or off per deployment, cache and optimization tools, and a system log viewer behind its own permission.
- Nested location tree from country to neighbourhood
- Translation interface for interface and entity copy
- Email and page template management
- Media library with a watermark module
Need governance beyond this, such as territory-scoped admins or a scheduled export into your finance system? Both are extensions through the module and hook system rather than rebuilds.

Who Is Our Airbnb Clone App Built For?
The same codebase serves quite different operators depending on which part leads. A property manager leans on room types and calendars; a tourism board leans on multiple service types and vendor onboarding; a charter fleet leans on capacity and deposits. Each is configuration rather than a fork.
Vacation Rental Operators
Tourism Boards & Destination Platforms
Multi-Service Travel Brands
Hotel Groups & Property Managers
Marine & Specialist Rental Businesses
White-Label & Multi-Brand Operators
If your business depends on inventory sold by date, on hosts or vendors you need to onboard and pay, or on selling more than one kind of thing to the same traveller, this platform is built for the shape you are already operating in.
Where It Fits
Airbnb Clone Use Cases: Stays, Experiences, Mobility & Multi-Service Hubs
The platform is the same in every case below. What changes is which service types are switched on and which part of the operating model leads.
Regional Short-Stay Marketplace
Accommodation listings, host onboarding, a booking calendar, guest payments and host payouts in one territory under one brand. This is what BNBinGreece and GoToRawanda both launched, and in each case the base carried listings, calendars and payments while the work went into local payment methods, guest languages and the property types those markets actually list.
Destination Platform Selling More Than Rooms
Stays, tours and car rental enabled together, so a guest books a villa, an island tour and a hire car in one session against one checkout. Every vendor involved is managed from one approval pipeline with one payout queue, which is where regional platforms usually lose their margin when they run three separate systems.
Hotel Inventory Alongside Private Rentals
Room-type management gives a property independent pricing, occupancy limits and minimum stay per category, while a whole-home listing beside it behaves like a private rental. Ischia Booking runs exactly this mix, with a channel manager keeping the OTAs that sell the same rooms in step.
Charter and Specialist Hire
Boats and yachts need capacity limits, half-day and full-day tiers, extras such as a captain or catering, and a deposit taken up front. The boat module carries those natively, which is why the same codebase family runs a Cabo yacht charter operation.
Mobility as a Companion Product
A rental operator adds car hire to an existing stay business, using separate pickup and dropoff locations, extras pricing and driver requirements, without standing up or paying for a second platform.
White-Label Marketplace for Clients
Agencies and networks launch a branded marketplace per client or per territory, each as its own deployment, sharing an operational model while keeping data and branding entirely separate.
Common thread: in every case the booking engine, wallet, review system and payout pipeline are the same. Adding a service type is a switch in the admin, not a second build.
Market Timing
Why Launch a Rental Marketplace in 2026?
Two structural facts make an owned platform worth more than another listing on somebody else’s. The first is commission: the large platforms take a meaningful percentage of every booking, and an operator running their own marketplace keeps it. The second is the guest relationship, which on a third-party platform you do not own, cannot market to, and lose entirely if your listing is downranked.
You Keep the Commission
Every booking on your own platform pays your rate rather than an incumbent's. On a business already running meaningful volume, that difference is usually the whole case on its own.
You Own the Guest Relationship
Email addresses, booking history and repeat-stay behaviour sit in your database. That is what makes direct marketing and a returning-guest programme possible at all.
Supply You Already Control
Operators with existing inventory, a managed portfolio or a regional vendor network start with the hard half solved. The platform is the missing piece, not the business.
Markets the Incumbents Serve Badly
A local payment rail, a language, a property type or a regulatory requirement the global platforms do not handle is a durable opening, and all four are configuration here.
Combinations Nobody Else Sells
A guest booking a stay, a tour and a car in one session is a product the single-category platforms cannot offer. Seven service types on one checkout is the differentiator.
A Build That Does Not Take a Year
The unglamorous parts, availability, pricing, payouts, permissions and a console, are what consume a custom build. They are done here, which is what makes 6 working days to launch realistic.

The counter-argument deserves stating plainly. The large platforms bring demand and you will not, so an owned marketplace makes sense when you already hold supply or an audience, when your market has a payment rail or a language the incumbents serve badly, or when you sell a combination no single incumbent covers. If none of those apply, listing on an existing platform is the more honest answer.
Technology
Airbnb Clone Tech Stack: Laravel 10, MySQL, Vue.js & Flutter
A deliberately mainstream stack. None of this is exotic, and that is the point: any competent Laravel developer can maintain it, so you are not dependent on us to keep it running.

More than twenty modules, each with its own models, controllers, views, routes and migrations, inside one deployable application. You get separation of concerns without the operational cost of running a distributed system for a marketplace that does not need one yet, and every driver, for cache, queue, mail and storage, can be swapped by configuration when it does.
How It Works
How the Airbnb Clone Works: Search, Book, Host, Settle
Six stages from a guest arriving to a host being paid. Every one is enforced server side, which is the difference between a booking engine and a contact form.
Discover and Select
A guest arrives and searches across whichever service types you have enabled, with the filters that apply to each.
- Global search across types, or a type-specific search with its own filters
- Location, date range, guest count, price band, amenities and rating
- Map view with coordinates, plus autocomplete on locations and listings
- Listing page with gallery, video, amenities, reviews and map
Check Availability
The platform validates the request against real inventory before it asks for any money.
- Availability checked against the per-service date tables
- Minimum stay, maximum stay and advance booking window enforced
- Conflicts with existing bookings rejected at source
- Room-level synchronization prevents a clash inside one property
Price and Apply Discounts
The total is recalculated on the server rather than trusted from the browser.
- Seasonal and date-based rates applied to the base price
- Extra guest charges, cleaning fees and security deposits added
- Coupon validated against usage limits, validity and minimum total
- Platform service fee and host fee calculated into the displayed total
Book and Pay
Guest details are collected, the booking record is created, and payment runs through the gateway you configured.
- Booking created with a unique code, initial status draft
- Payment through Stripe, PayPal, PayStack, Payrexx, offline transfer or wallet
- Partial payment supported where a deposit model is enabled
- Gateway webhook verified by signature, then the booking moves forward
Confirm and Notify
Confirmation is the point where inventory is committed and everyone is told.
- Dates blocked on the calendar and propagated to iCal consumers
- Confirmation email to the guest, booking alert to the host
- In-app notification delivered live through Pusher
- Commission calculated and frozen onto the booking record
Complete, Review and Settle
After the stay the platform closes the loop and moves the money.
- Booking moves to completed after the end date passes
- Review invitation sent, and only completed bookings can review
- Host earnings become available net of commission and fees
- Host requests a payout, the operator reviews and completes it

Behind The Scenes
Airbnb Clone Platform Architecture & Backend Flow
One API, Every Client
The guest web app, the host console and the mobile builds consume the same REST API and the same booking contracts, which stops a web demo and a store build from disagreeing about what a guest has actually reserved.
Polymorphic Booking Core
A single bookings table serves every service type through an object type and object id pair, so reporting, payments, reviews and payouts are written once and apply to all seven.
Availability Computed, Not Assumed
Availability is validated at request time against per-service date tables and existing bookings rather than read from a cached flag, which is the control that prevents a double sale.
Commission Frozen at Booking
The commission rate and type are written onto the booking when it is made. Changing your platform rate next quarter cannot retroactively alter what a host earned last quarter.
Driver Abstractions Throughout
Cache, queue, session, mail and file storage all sit behind drivers, so moving from file to Redis, or local disk to S3, is a configuration change rather than a migration project.
Hooks Instead of Forks
Action and filter hooks plus a plugin directory let your own logic attach to booking creation or price calculation without editing core files, so a platform update does not overwrite your work.
Build to Scale
Built to Scale: Caching, Queues and Storage That Move
The scaling path is ordinary and well understood, which is exactly what you want from infrastructure. Cache, session and queue move from file to Redis by changing a driver, and the slow work runs off the request.
Queued Background Work
Email, image processing, data exports and report generation all run as queued jobs under Supervisor, with failed job capture and retry on a backoff. A burst of bookings never blocks a page render, and a failing mail provider degrades delivery rather than checkout.
Storage and Media Delivery
Listing galleries are the heaviest asset a rental marketplace carries. Media moves to S3 or Google Cloud Storage behind a CDN through the storage driver, with several thumbnail sizes generated automatically on upload and an optional watermark applied to protect host photography.
Database Under Load
Composite indexes sit on the polymorphic object pairs, date-range indexes on bookings, and full-text indexes on searchable content. Read and write splitting is supported, so the reporting queries that get heavy on a mature marketplace stop competing with the booking path.
Query Discipline
Related models are eager loaded throughout to keep listing and booking views off the N+1 query path, which is the failure mode that surfaces first when a marketplace grows. Every list endpoint paginates server side rather than returning an unbounded set.
Queued Background Work
Email, image processing, exports and reports run as queued jobs under Supervisor, with failed job capture and retry.
Redis for Cache, Session and Queue
All three drivers move from file to Redis with a configuration change, the highest-value step when traffic grows past one server.
Read Replicas for Reporting
Read and write splitting keeps heavy analytics queries from competing with the booking path.
CDN-Backed Media
Galleries move to S3 or Google Cloud behind a CDN, with automatic thumbnail generation on upload.
Indexed for Real Queries
Composite indexes on polymorphic pairs, date indexes on bookings, full-text on content, pagination everywhere.
Eager Loading by Default
Related models are eager loaded to keep the busiest views off the N+1 query path.
Growing Beyond One Server
The application is stateless once session and cache are on Redis, so a second application server behind a load balancer is an infrastructure change rather than a code change. The modular structure means a heavy module can be optimized independently of the rest.
Note for founders and CTOs: you can start on a single modest instance and still be on a credible path to scale, because nothing here needs replacing to get there. The drivers change, the code does not.
Built to Be Audited
Airbnb Clone Security: OWASP-Mapped, GDPR-Ready and Candidly Documented
Security posture is mapped against the OWASP Top 10 in a dedicated VAPT reference. What is unusual about that document is the candour: it separates controls that ship enforced in code from controls that are deployment or configuration work, and it labels the second group plainly instead of folding everything into one green table. The cards below are what the platform enforces on its own. The list beneath them is what we configure with you before go-live, named rather than implied.
Rate Limiting Is Configuration, Not Default
HTTPS and Security Headers Belong to the Server
CAPTCHA Is an Integration, Not a Bundled Feature
Security Logging Ships at Baseline
Dependency Risk Is a Maintenance Job
Gateway SSL Verification Must Be Switched On
No Card Data Reaches Your Database
Cards are captured and tokenized by the gateway, so no primary account number is ever written to your MySQL instance. That keeps the deployment inside PCI DSS SAQ A rather than the far heavier SAQ D. Every payment webhook is verified by HMAC signature before a booking changes state, so a forged callback cannot confirm a reservation nobody paid for.
Uploads Inspected at the Byte Level
Every upload is read with finfo and validated against its magic bytes rather than its extension, so a renamed executable is rejected before the controller runs. Accepted files are rewritten to a cryptographically random 40 character name, stored with 0600 permissions, and resolved through realpath so a traversal sequence cannot escape the uploads directory.
Injection Closed at the ORM Layer
Every query runs through Eloquent with bound parameters, which removes the string concatenation that SQL injection depends on. Rich text a host or guest can submit passes through HTML Purifier with a per-field tag allow-list, and Blade escapes on output by default, so a stored payload has to survive three independent layers before it can render.
Authentication in Layers
Passwords are hashed with bcrypt, email verification runs on signed URLs that expire, and two-factor authentication uses TOTP through Laravel Fortify with single-use backup codes. API access is Sanctum tokens carrying explicit abilities and revocable one at a time, and password resets are signed links valid for sixty minutes rather than guessable strings.
Authorization That Scopes the Data
Role-based access control is granular per module, so a finance clerk can process payouts without reaching user management. Host accounts are scoped to their own records, which is the control that stops one host reading another host's bookings by editing an id in the URL, and every operator route sits behind admin middleware rather than an unlinked page.
Privacy Built Into the Data Model
GDPR export returns a structured file covering profile, bookings, reviews and payment history. Deletion anonymizes rather than orphans: financial records that must legally be retained keep their totals while the personal data is stripped out. Soft deletes give a thirty day recovery window, and retention periods are configurable per data class.
Note for serious operators: we build to the controls the common frameworks require, and we state which of them are configuration rather than shipped. We do not hold an ISO 27001 certificate and do not claim one. On a rental marketplace the two things carrying real risk are host payouts and guest personal data, so those are the paths documented most carefully and tested first in any VAPT engagement you commission.
Go Further
Airbnb Clone Add-Ons: Channel Manager, Dynamic Pricing & Custom Integrations
Out of the box the platform is complete and demonstrable. The modules below are what operators most often add once they know their market, either because they need a third-party account or because their scale demands it. Each is scoped and quoted separately.
Channel Manager & OTA Sync
Two-way synchronization with the OTAs you already sell through so availability and rates stay aligned and the same room is never sold twice. Ischia Booking took exactly this route.
Dynamic Pricing
Rate suggestions driven by demand, competitor pricing and historical occupancy, wired into the existing seasonal rate tables rather than bolted alongside them.
Additional Payment Rails
Local gateways and mobile money beyond the six that ship. Because gateways sit behind a common interface, a new rail is a class implementing that interface rather than a change to the booking flow.
iOS Store Publishing
App Store submission handled end to end, including account setup, build signing, review response and the metadata that store reviewers ask for.
Identity Verification & KYC
Automated document verification for hosts or guests where your jurisdiction requires it, replacing the manual admin review that ships as standard.
Housekeeping & Operations
Room status tracking across clean, dirty, inspected and out of service, with staff assignment and turnaround scheduling for operators running serviced inventory.
Accounting & Finance Export
Scheduled export of bookings, payouts and commission into QuickBooks, Xero or your own finance system, so month end stops being a manual reconciliation.
Multi-Brand & Multi-Region
Several branded marketplaces on separate deployments sharing an operational model, for agencies and networks running more than one territory.

The Commercial Case
Marketability, Revenue Potential & Business Prospects
A rental marketplace earns in more than one way at once, which is what makes the model durable. Commission scales with volume, host plans produce recurring revenue that does not, and featured placement sells attention rather than transactions.
Four Revenue Lines
Commission, host subscription plans, platform and host service fees, and featured placement. They stack, and only one of them depends on booking volume.
Supply Is the Constraint
Marketplaces fail on the supply side far more often than the demand side. Operators who already hold inventory or a vendor network start with the harder half solved.
Multi-Type Raises Order Value
A guest who books a stay, a tour and a car in one session is worth several times one who books a room. Seven types on one checkout is what makes that possible.
You Own the Asset
Source code, guest data and the commission rate all sit with you. That is the difference between building a business and renting a shopfront on someone else's.
- Commission on every booking, set globally or per host
- Host subscription plans with listing allowances
- Platform service fees and host-configured fees
- Featured listing placement sold as promotion
- Wallet float held between payout runs
- Cross-sell across service types raising order value
- An owned booking channel rather than a rented listing
- A guest database you can market to directly
- A vendor network that is an asset in itself
- A commission rate you set rather than one set for you
- Source code that can be sold, licensed or extended
Example Revenue Scenarios
The figures below are illustrative operating scenarios for modelling your own numbers, not results we are reporting. The client outcomes on this page are the named case studies, and those are the figures we stand behind.
Focused Rental Platform
Listings, One Territory
Commission-led, one service type, one market.
The model most operators start with, usually converting supply they already control. The lever that matters early is supply rather than traffic, because an empty marketplace converts nothing regardless of how much demand reaches it.
Multi-Service Destination Hub
Listings Across Types
Commission plus service fees, several types live.
Stays, tours and mobility on one platform, where average order value rises because a guest books more than one thing per trip. Cross-selling between types is where the margin improves rather than raw listing count.
Enterprise & White-Label
Listings, Multi-Region
Recurring plan revenue alongside commission.
Host subscription tiers, featured placement and territory or brand partners running on your infrastructure. Revenue becomes recurring rather than purely transactional, which changes how the business is valued.
Why Miracuves
Miracuves vs Other Airbnb Clone Developers
There are many ways to get a rental marketplace: generic scripts, freelancers, agencies, or owning the infrastructure outright.
Why Founders Choose Miracuves
Launch in Days, Not Months
A branded, deployed marketplace in 6 working days, against 6 to 9 months for a custom build. The unglamorous parts, availability, pricing, payouts and permissions, are already done.
Full Source-Code Ownership
The complete Laravel codebase with no encrypted files, transferred to your own account. Most script vendors ship encrypted or partial source, which makes real customization impossible.
Seven Types, Not One
A generic clone script gives you one listing type and leaves the rest to you. Adding cars or tours here is a switch in the admin, because they already share the booking, payment and payout path.
Security You Can Show a Reviewer
OWASP-mapped controls, VAPT-ready documentation and GDPR export and deletion flows, described honestly. We build to the controls the frameworks require and do not claim certificates we do not hold.
Named Client Deployments
Ischia Booking, BNBinGreece and GoToRawanda are published case studies with named clients, not anonymized claims. Each owns their source code and launched on a date agreed in writing.
A Clear Growth Path
Channel manager, dynamic pricing, extra payment rails and multi-brand deployments are scoped add-ons with prices, not vague promises. You know what the next step costs before you commit.
Compare & Discover Why Operators Choose Us for Ready-Made Rental Marketplaces
| Criteria | Miracuves Airbnb Clone | Generic Clone Script | Custom Dev Agency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to Launch | 6 days (Production) | Unknown / DIY | 6-9+ months |
| Source-Code Ownership | ✔ Full | Often limited / encrypted | Usually yes |
| Feature Depth (Airbnb-like) | High (7 service types, payouts, plans) | Basic (one listing type only) | Depends on budget |
| Security & Compliance | Strong (built to the controls, GDPR-ready) | Minimal | Varies widely |
| Scalability & Performance | Cloud & CDN-optimized | Rarely considered | Depends on architecture |
| Monetization Options | Multiple (commission, plans, fees) | Usually commission only | Custom (more time & cost) |
| Admin & Analytics | Full-fledged dashboard | Very basic or missing | Custom build (extra cost) |
| Cost vs Speed vs Quality | Balanced | Cheap but risky | High cost, slow |
| Ongoing Support & Updates | Available with clear plans | Usually none | Depends on contract |
Not every route to a rental marketplace survives its first paying guest. The comparison that matters is not a feature count. It is what you own at the end, how long it takes to get there, and whether the platform can still be changed a year later.

FAQ
Airbnb Clone FAQ: Pricing, Service Types, Payments & Deployment
Everything you need to know about the Miracuves Airbnb Clone.
A ready-made rental marketplace where guests search and book, hosts list inventory and receive payouts, and you take commission on each transaction. This one covers seven bookable service types on one engine: stays, spaces, cars, tours, boats, events and flights, with a guest web app, a host console, an operator admin of more than twenty modules, and Android and iOS builds against the same REST API.
The white-label platform starts from $2,499 as a one-time purchase, deployed in 6 working days with your branding on your own hosting. Custom work beyond the base is quoted at 2 to 8 weeks depending on scope, and anything larger is scoped and quoted in writing before it starts.
No. Every service module can be switched off in the admin, which removes it from search, navigation and the host console. Most operators launch with one or two and enable more once supply exists. Enabling one later needs no rebuild, because they all share the same booking, payment and payout path.
Same underlying platform, different framing. The 9flats Clone page is written for operators thinking in terms of apartment and private-room inventory in European city markets. This page leads on the multi-service side: stays plus tours, mobility and charters on one engine. Choose by which description matches your supply, because the delivered system is the same product at the same price.
Yes. You receive the complete Laravel 10 codebase with no encrypted files, plus the mobile app source, the database schema with migrations and the upgrade scripts, transferred to your own account on handover. There is no per-booking fee and no dependency on us to keep it running.
Six ship pre-integrated: Stripe, PayPal, PayStack for African markets, Payrexx for European methods, an offline bank transfer flow with manual admin confirmation, and the platform wallet. Additional local rails are a customization, and because gateways sit behind a common interface, adding one does not change the booking flow.
Host earnings accumulate net of commission and fees, calculated per booking at the rate stored on that booking. The host requests a payout from their dashboard, you review it in the payout queue and mark it complete once the transfer is made. Bank transfer and PayPal are supported out of the box, and payout history is retained for reporting and tax.
Availability is validated at request time against the per-service date tables and existing bookings, not read from a cached flag, and room-level synchronization prevents a clash inside a single property. Where you also sell through OTAs, iCal export keeps external calendars in step, and a two-way channel manager is available as an add-on.
Yes, and at entity level rather than interface strings alone. Each listing, page and category carries its own per-locale content, with fifteen languages pre-configured and right-to-left layout supported for Arabic and Hebrew. Adding a language is an admin action, not a deployment.
Yes, globally or per host, as a percentage or a fixed amount. The rate is written onto each booking at the moment it is made, so changing it affects future bookings only and never rewrites what a host already earned. That is what keeps historical reporting and payout records defensible.
It carries bcrypt password hashing, two-factor authentication, role-based access control, Sanctum API tokens, HTML Purifier on rich content, Eloquent parameterized queries throughout, magic-byte file validation and signature-verified payment webhooks. Card data never reaches your database, which keeps PCI scope reduced. We build to the controls the common frameworks require; we do not hold an ISO 27001 certificate and do not claim one.
Yes. Android and iOS builds ship branded with your name, icon, splash screen and colour scheme, and store submission is handled as part of publishing support, including review responses and the metadata reviewers ask for.
Sixty days of launch guidance, six months of priority bug fixes and twelve months of product evolution updates. First response is under two hours, Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 19:00 IST.
