Direct Booking
A reservation made directly with the property owner or manager, bypassing third-party platforms and their fees.
A direct booking occurs when a guest reserves a property through the owner's or manager's own website rather than through an OTA like Airbnb or Vrbo. Direct bookings eliminate platform fees (typically 14–20% of the booking value), increasing revenue for both the owner and potentially offering lower rates to guests. Building a direct booking channel requires a professional website, payment processing, and a strong guest relationship strategy. Solside Stays encourages direct bookings at www.solsidestays.com.
