What about travelstaytion?

OTA = Online Travel Agency, which means those sites that sell the booking and take the payment for you.

What about travelstaytion?

Post by sarahk »

Hi all,
any experience with travelstaytion?
It seems a FREE listing website (with commission of course, 15%, only for guests). Good number of visits.

If you haven't heard of it, what makes you think that any potential guests will find it or use it ?

I personally wouldn't touch it with a barge pole either to book or to list.

I've never heard of them
They hide the domain ownership
No way to tell who is behind this to check legitimacy
They require payment through the site
Payment is not released to owner until guests check in
You can't delete your property

What is to like about them? I'd be trusting a completely unknown entity with my money.

No thank you

Thanks! Didn't bother to wade through all the T&Cs!

That's enough to cross them off my list. The site looks pretty much brand new in the light of Zingara's research, so how, I wonder, have they acquired that many listings?
