TA/HL Bookings growing as OD/HA decline

[Tivoli]

Does anyone have both subscription and commission?

You can't be on both with HL, either you pay them for an advert (subscription) or you don't (commission) Only Owners' Direct have introduced the astonishing "Pay us for an advert and we'll charge commission as well" model.

Hi all,

I own two successful holiday rental properties on the South Coast of Australia and I am trying to help my mum who has a holiday rental property in the Shetland Islands. I'd really appreciate some advice on the best websites to list on as I am not familiar with the UK market.

She has her property listed on airbnb, Homeaway, Tripadvisor and visit scotland. She gets a few bookings but probably isn't booking out more than 50 nights a year. I've gone through and helped her fix up her listing descriptions and get professional photos done.

I was wondering if there are other websites worth listing with? Most of her bookings come via airbnb with the odd one via HL & Homeaway. We looked at holiday cottages but were put off by the number of conditions in the contract.

OD/HA charge the guest the commission, not the owner on a subscription listing.

Sorry I thought it was a logical thread to ask the question on given the topic and the fact that everyone on this thread is from the uk. I'll add it as a new thread.
