Commission-Free Booking
A reservation made directly between a host and guest without paying fees to a third-party platform like Airbnb or VRBO. Commission-free bookings typically save hosts 12-20% per reservation. Building a direct booking channel requires a booking-enabled website, payment processing, and guest communication tools.
Example
By sending past Airbnb guests to their direct booking website, a host saves $3,600 per year on commissions across 30 bookings averaging $200/night for 2 nights.
