Booking platform fees via Airbnb & booking.com are typically around 18% of the total booking amount, while direct bookings through my website typically carry a 10% - 12% booking fee. I use my website, Google search optimisation and social media to attract more direct bookings for your property, helping reduce booking fees and increase the income you keep.
My management commission is calculated after these fees have been deducted.
Cleaning, laundry and maintenance costs are excluded from both package fees and are handled and charged separately.
