Apartment websites and direct bookings

Apartment websites with photos, prices, availability, house rules and direct contact.

What to check on your website

  • All bookings come through portals with a commission.
  • The photos don’t show what the place is really like.
  • House rules and conditions only surface after the enquiry.
  • There are no clear prices by season or length of stay.
  • Check-in and parking aren’t explained anywhere.
  • Repeat guests have no direct way to book again.

Common questions

Is a website worth it when portals work?

A website can accept direct bookings. Compare its running costs and booking fees with the portal commissions you pay.

What has to be on it?

Current photos, prices, availability and booking conditions, with contact details for the operator.

How do I handle enquiries?

A short form can collect dates, guest numbers and contact details for you to confirm the booking.
