Why do booking platforms charge commission?

Most vacation rental bookings are made via reservation platforms. In exchange for their services, these platforms receive a commission on each booking. Visit commissions from booking platforms contribute to the financing of the sites and ensure their smooth running.

Commission benefits include :

  • Task automation : Thanks to the tools available on these platforms, booking confirmation and invoicing no longer require your intervention.
  • Extended audience : By using sites like Airbnb, you benefit from greater visibility, which increases the chances of renting out your accommodation. Ads translated into several languages also attract international travelers.
  • Ad optimization : your ads are better referenced by search engines, improving their visibility.
  • Personalized customer service : customer service is available to facilitate exchanges between owners and travelers.

Hello Riviera Stay

    • Rental platforms' commission fees are borne by the traveler. So, as a property owner, your income remains unchanged.
    • Overnight rates vary according to the platform used, taking into account the platform-specific commission.
    • Cleaning costs remain the responsibility of the traveler, with no commission applied to these costs.

Booking platforms' different commission rates

  •  Commission percentages fluctuate according to each booking platform, which are free to set them according to their own policies. Industry leader Airbnb, for example, offers a commission of 18% on the nightly rate, as does Abritel. On the other hand, the Dutch platform Booking.com applies one of the highest commission rates, at 21%.
