Sound familiar?

Booking.com and Airbnb matter – but they shouldn't be your only channel. The goal isn't to leave the platforms, it's to grow your share of direct bookings season after season.

Commission on every booking

A villa with 20 weekly bookings at €1,200 pays around €3,600 a year to Booking.com at 15% – about a full year of Google Ads budget.

The guest belongs to the platform

No e-mail, no preferences, no direct way to invite them back next season – the platform is always in between.

The algorithm decides

One bad review or a ranking change and bookings drop. You have no control.

Shoulder season stays empty

April, May and September are hard to fill. Google Ads can target exactly those dates and markets.

How much is commission costing you?

Our free calculator shows in one minute how much you pay Booking.com and Airbnb each year – and how much you keep if part of your guests book direct.

What actually changes

Direct bookings, zero commission

Guests find you on Google, click your ad and book on your own website – you keep the full price.

Guests who come back

Direct guests leave their contact details. Next season you invite them yourself – no middleman.

High-spending international guests

We reach guests from the UK, Germany, Austria and Switzerland in their own language, at the moment they search.

A longer season

Extra budget aimed at spring and autumn, in markets that travel outside July and August.

Control over price and offer

Early-bird deals, special terms or extras for direct guests – with no platform in between.

Measurable results

Clicks, enquiries, bookings and cost per enquiry – in a clear report every month.

Frequently asked questions

You see clicks right away; bookings rarely in week one. Google's algorithm needs 2–4 weeks to learn who your real guests are. Guests from Germany and Austria plan 2–3 months ahead, so campaigns started in February or March bring bookings for the early season.

Yes. The ad must lead to your own website, not a Booking.com profile. A fast, mobile-friendly site with good photos, a contact form and a WhatsApp button is enough.

No – and that isn't the goal. The platforms stay important for visibility and reviews. The aim is to steadily grow your share of direct bookings.

You pay the ad budget directly to Google, and we set it individually for your property and market. One direct booking in the early season often covers the monthly budget – plus the commission you save.

Yes. I work with hosts across Europe. Campaigns run in your own Google Ads account, and we keep in touch by e-mail, WhatsApp or video call.

You do. Campaigns, data and the video stay in your account – you can continue yourself or with another agency at any time.
