The OTA Commission Report  ·  2024

They take 15%.
We take zero.

Airbnb, Booking.com, and Expedia made €50 billion combined last year — on your properties. Solvaya gives you the tools to take it back.

The Math

Run the numbers.
Then get angry.

Type in your annual revenue. See what the OTAs actually take versus what Solvaya would cost. The difference is yours.

We use a 17% blended average — Booking.com (17%), Airbnb (15%), Expedia (20%), Vrbo (15%). The reality is usually higher once you factor in guest service fees and currency conversion.

Side by side

The receipts, in writing.

Every row is a feature OTA brochures skip over. We've spelled them out, because the cost of staying silent is — literally — the cost.

The OTAs
Solvaya
Commission
15–20%

Per booking. From your gross revenue. Before you see a cent.

Commission
0%

We charge a flat €29/month per property. Not a penny from your bookings.

Guest relationship
They own it

Email, phone, history — locked on their platform. The moment a guest rebooks direct, you lose the thread.

Guest relationship
You own it

Direct emails, phone numbers, full rebooking history. Yours forever, exportable, portable.

Direct booking website
Not included

They don't want you to have one. Every direct booking is a booking they don't get a cut from.

Direct booking website
Drag & drop

Zero design skills. SEO optimized. Mobile-perfect. Live in an hour, hosted for free.

Guest messaging
Their platform

Their inbox, their templates, their rules. You're renting access to your own conversations.

Guest messaging
Your channel

WhatsApp, SMS, email — whatever your guests actually use. AI-suggested replies, one inbox.

Calendar sync
Manual & slow

Per-platform calendars that don't talk to each other. Double bookings happen. Often.

Calendar sync
28+ channels, real-time

Airbnb, Booking, Vrbo, and 25 more. Auto-synced the second a booking lands.

Invoicing
They handle it

Built into their commission. No alternative. No export. The receipt comes to you, the money goes to them.

Invoicing
Auto-generated

Stripe or Mollie. Direct to your bank. Zero middleman. Tax-ready, accountant-friendly exports.

Pricing
Hidden fees

Service fees, cleaning fees, payment processing, currency conversion — the real cost is buried in fine print.

Pricing
€29/property/month

That's the entire invoice. No tiers, no upsells, no "contact sales" gatekeeping.

The receipts

Property owners who made the switch.

Real numbers. Real properties. Real savings statements — not the curated kind.
