Booking your stay with owners means you get the best deal without paying over the odds.
For Summer 2021, many of our bookings are direct, but you may have found us on another website known as an “OTA.” We have relied on these Online Travel Agents in the past, which costs a lot of money. To avoid this, we have opted to provide the cheapest rate on our website, and THIS is where guests can save around 15%.
It makes sense to book direct, here’s why…
The best price isn’t on the OTAs
- Contrary to popular belief, commercial Online Travel Agents don’t provide guests the best price. Guests can save paying their fees by booking directly with local hosts/owners.
The best rate is right here: #BookDirect & save
- No booking fee
- No service fee
- No booking commission
- Big OTAs retain fees between 15-25% of the amount you’ve paid, just for booking (something you could easily do yourself).
- When you book directly with the host, you cut out the middle man and the unnecessary costs.
Treat yourself to a more rewarding stay
- You could be paying up to 25% extra for your stay!
- Imagine how much more rewarding your trip could be if you didn’t have to pay booking fees.
- Depending on the length of your stay, that difference could get you anything from a nice bottle of wine to bike hire, a delicious seafood meal out with the family to a boat trip, or even ANOTHER weekend away!
- Time and time again, we’ve seen so many guests needlessly pay commissions over €250, that they could’ve spent creating lifelong memories.
Avoid detours: Communicate with your real-life host
- Guaranteed direct contact with the hosts so you can get in touch without obligation and have great support from the same person(s) while planning your trip, during your stay, and after your stay.
