Seeking commission free bookings?
Our holiday accommodation portals put guests in direct contact with property owners. In a market dominated by 'OTAs' (online travel agencies), generating your own direct bookings can offer significant savings, whilst at the same time enabling you to build your own customer base, and to manage your bookings as you choose.
How much could you save?
In short, quite a lot. Commission is deducted from what guests pay for their booking. Airbnb and Booking.com typically charge 15.5%, so for a booking of £500 the commission would be £77, leaving the owner with £423. Over a season this can really mount up: bookings for even a modest holiday property marketed through OTAs can cost several thousand pounds per year. At our annual rate of £99 inc VAT, the break-even point compared to Airbnb and Booking.com is around £645 of bookings.
Direct response
With Goholidays listings you benefit from direct response, so you can deal direct with your customers. Our listings deliver response direct to your e-mail. In addition you can display phone number(s), a whatsapp link and a link to your website, so potential customers can communicate with you as they prefer.
Booking system
Booking system is included with our listings and websites, and you can choose to use it if you wish. The key to maximising conversion from enquiry to booking is providing an instant, accurate price quote. Using iCal links your availability can be automatically updated ongoing from many larger websites, ensuring that your booking system provides an accurate response at all times.
Your own website
Included with our listings if you choose to use it, your site builds itself – saving you from spending a small fortune, not to mention the time involved, on web design. Customising its look and feel takes a few clicks, updating your content is quick and easy, and you can create additional freeform pages to provide potential customers with information about your area.

This offer applies to listings which have at least 10 good quality interior and exterior pictures, a comprehensive description, prices for at least 12 months ahead, and a regularly updated calendar.
