Gîtes, flats and B&Bs: the choice of communication
The "systematic commission" approach
You agree to systematically pay 10 to 25% in commission to OTAs: Booking, Trip Advisor, Expedia, etc.
There are many challenges involved in managing holiday lets, for both professionals and private individuals. Visit In a market dominated by online travel agencies (OTAs), the options for standing out from the crowd are limited. The first option is to depend entirely on online booking portalswhich often charge high commissions.
Although this approach reduces initial costs - by avoiding the need to invest in a website - it quickly becomes expensive as bookings increase. What's more, any attempt to improve property listings independently is impossible, as listings on platforms such as Booking or Airbnb don't belong to you and are buried amongst other offers. Hidden costs also mount up.
Some of these platforms offer greater visibility in return for additional commission, but this only increases dependency on the platform. This option can be considered as a way of getting started, particularly if you have a limited budget, but it is not a permanent solution.
The second option involves a slightly higher initial investment, but quickly pays off: your site becomes an independent showcase for your business, builds up natural referencing over the years and has its own booking engine, with no commissions and no potential loss of customers to other listings.
Hotel Web Design supports the managers of small, medium and large accommodation establishments in their digital communications by creating websites with a strong emotional dimension, that are easy to use and feature independent reservation systemsThis will enable hoteliers to maximise their return on investment (ROI) and implement specific commercial strategies: Google Ads campaigns, natural referencing campaignsetc.

The "proprietary booking site" option
You are investing in your brand image for the long term, with a non-commissioned booking site
Our creations for gîtes and guest rooms
The advantages of choosing a proprietary booking site over a systematic commission-based system :
- Your brand image is personalised, independent and strong.
- No commission is charged for bookings received via the website (excluding any bank charges).
- You can plan your natural referencing (link-building campaign).
- You can plan your Adwords / FB Ads referencing (pay-per-click campaign). Contrary to popular belief, their budget is totally under control. These campaigns are highly effective if they are skilfully configured and adjusted over time. They are particularly relevant at the launch of a new site, to compensate for the lack of natural referencing. Consult our explanatory brochure on referencing methods.
