We are proud to say it: StayPicker is live & kicking! The platform connects guests and accommodation providers in a simple, transparent and technologically reliable way, and its first results are already very encouraging. We are especially pleased that a significant share of enquiries comes from abroad, confirming strong interest in direct accommodation booking in Croatia without additional intermediary costs.

According to the data collected so far, Croatia is the leading market by number of enquiries, while almost half of all guests come from abroad. Enquiries are arriving from key source markets including Austria, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Slovenia, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Poland. This clearly shows that European travellers are looking for a safer, more direct and more affordable way to book apartments, villas, holiday homes and other private accommodation in Croatia.

Why do these results matter?

StayPicker is not just another accommodation portal. It is an authentic Croatian platform developed with a clear goal: to give guests and accommodation providers direct contact, lower prices and greater transparency.

• Guests want to book directly and avoid unnecessary commissions.
• Accommodation providers want greater control over prices, availability and communication.
• International markets recognise the value of direct booking in Croatia.
• Transparency and security are becoming key factors when choosing accommodation.

Technology you can rely on with MyRent

A major advantage of StayPicker is its connection to MyRent technology, which enables hosts and professional property managers to keep reservations, calendars, prices and availability up to date. This technology helps ensure that guests see accurate information on StayPicker, while accommodation providers can operate more efficiently and securely.

In tourism, where accurate data, trust and quick responses are essential, this approach makes a meaningful difference. StayPicker combines local expertise, tourism experience and advanced technology to make booking easier for guests and improve accommodation visibility in both domestic and international markets.

Direct booking without hidden costs

Guests are increasingly looking for accommodation in Croatia through a model that is simple, secure and transparent. StayPicker meets that need by enabling accommodation bookings without unnecessary intermediaries, supported by clear information and direct communication with the host or professional property manager.

This model creates practical benefits for both sides. Guests can more easily find apartments, villas and holiday homes on better terms, while accommodation providers gain an additional sales channel that supports their brand, professionalism and independence.

• Lower prices thanks to booking without additional intermediary costs.
• Greater trust through verified information and a transparent booking process.
• Direct contact between the guest and the host or agency.
• Up-to-date availability through integration with the MyRent system.
• Better accommodation visibility among guests from Croatia and European markets.

Almost half of the interest comes from abroad

Enquiry data already shows that StayPicker has strong potential in international markets. In addition to domestic guests, growing interest is coming from countries that are traditionally important for Croatian tourism: Austria, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Poland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

This confirms that direct booking also offers clear value to international travellers, especially those looking for verified accommodation, transparent prices and a safer way to book a holiday in Croatia and the wider region.

StayPicker as a new opportunity for accommodation providers

For hosts, agencies and professional property managers, StayPicker creates a new opportunity to increase direct bookings and reduce dependence on major global platforms. Through its connection with MyRent, owners and managers can present their properties more easily, provide accurate information and offer guests a clearer path to booking.

At a time when commissions, visibility and control over sales channels are among the biggest challenges in tourism, StayPicker offers a model that is closer to the interests of both accommodation providers and guests. The platform was developed locally, with a strong understanding of the Croatian market and the ambition to become relevant and recognised internationally.
