How it works

You set the watch. We do the waiting.

We do the watching around the clock, so you get a single alert the moment the cabin you want opens.

01

Put a watch on the dates you want

Pick a cabin or yurt from the catalog, or watch a whole region, and tell us the window you’re hoping for. Standard members watch specific places; Pro members can watch an entire area and let any opening surface.

02

We check on a steady, polite cycle

Yurtalerts re-checks the booking sites for you around the clock, with hard rate limits and a self-identifying, contactable user agent. One patient scout doing the rounds, gentle enough that we (and you) stay welcome on their sites.

03

A held night flips to open

Someone cancels. The site quietly updates. Yurtalerts catches that change on its next pass and recognizes it as a fresh opening worth pinging you about.

04

You get the alert, with the link

We email you the moment it opens, with a deep link to that exact cabin and those exact dates on the operator’s booking page. From there you book and pay them directly.

The line we hold

We scout, you book.

A service like this lives or dies on staying welcome with the operators, so we keep a light footprint and leave the booking to you.

  • You book and pay the operator directly, every time.
  • We read public availability and leave the booking to you.
  • We identify ourselves on every request and honor rate limits and robots rules.
  • If an operator ever asks us to back off, we honor it right away and talk after.

It runs gentler than a bot that hammers a calendar, and it keeps working because of that.
