Frequently asked questions
Worth it if I'm already on Booking?
Yes. Booking charges 15–18% commission. For an STR billing €30k/year that's €5k+ lost. An own booking engine pays for itself in 2–3 months.
Which channel manager do you recommend?
Smoobu (€20/month) for 1–3 units. Lodgify or Hostfully to scale. Beds24 for larger operations.
Who keeps the guest data?
You do. Direct bookings = direct relationship. You can contact for loyalty, exclusive discounts, newsletters.
