How to Reduce Booking.com Commissions with Direct Bookings
How to Reduce Booking.com Commissions with Direct Bookings
Booking.com commissions typically range from 15-25% per reservation. For a hotel doing significant volume through OTAs, this adds up to a substantial portion of revenue going to commission fees.
The Direct Booking Strategy
The goal is not to leave OTAs — they provide valuable visibility. The goal is to shift a portion of bookings to your own website where commission is zero.
What You Need for Direct Bookings
How Diafa Direct Works
Diafa Direct is a built-in booking engine included with Diafa PMS. Each property gets its own subdomain. Guests see real-time availability, room photos, rate details, and pay online. The booking confirms automatically and syncs to your PMS.
Measuring the Shift
Diafa PMS tracks booking source for every reservation. Channel performance reports show revenue and commission per OTA. You can measure exactly how much you save as direct booking volume increases.
