Tim Hubbard explains how to get direct bookings for short-term rentals instead of using OTAs. Airbnb's commission fees hit 15.5%, and platforms penalize hosts who push guests elsewhere. He walks through setting up a direct-booking site to keep more of your money.
15.5%
If you're looking to earn more with your short term rental. Well, direct bookings is one of those ways you don't have to pay any commissions. And with Airbnb's recent increase to 15.5% and the already really high commissions on all the other sites, it's probably top of mind. But these sites like Airbnb and booking.com know that we are trying to get direct bookings and they are cracking down on those of us trying to get around them. So it's a delicate balance between getting your own guests on your direct booking site and making sure that we don't get kicked off on the platforms. Stay tuned as we break down everything you need to know about setting up your direct booking site and how to get your guests booking there instead of on the OTAs.
