If you list your holiday home on other sites, you may be used to paying commissions or booking fees for each booking.
Some sites also have a subscription option, where you pay a set amount instead of per-booking-payment. The commission charged to owners on many of the holiday listing platforms and Online Travel Agencies (OTA) is generally between 3% and about 17%. This cost generally comes straight off your bottom line and eats into your profits.
Most owners who self-manage their holiday properties put an enormous amount of effort into organising and preparing their holiday house, cleaning and maintaining their holiday property, decorating their holiday houses and creating a fantastic holiday guest experience around the rental of their holiday accommodation.
Some holiday rental property owners may add the commission to the cost of the booking or include it in the rates of their holiday home, this reduces your loss however, it does inflate the cost of your property and could be off-putting to guests booking your holiday property. Essentially, commissions are charged to either holiday homeowners or both holiday rental guests and owners.
