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

Has anyone used the above site to advertise their property. Im really desperate to bin HA when my renewal comes up in January. I just rang them based in Germany, sounded very helpful and accommodating. Still only charge an annual fee and no booking fees etc (yet) for clients. Still deal with them directly etc ect. Just like HA used to do. Just wondering if anyone had anything whether positive or negative

It's the UK version of a long established German listing site
https://www.traum-ferienwohnungen.de/

Zero presence on google.uk so depends where you're hoping to get clients from

From Germany, so you have just endorsed what my thoughts were. Thank you

I have had five firm bookings with them, all from German speaking countries. Worth the investment IMO. They are now implementing a "fairness based" fee for listing with them, based on the number of enquiries you have using their site.

As an alternative to OD / HA I listed since last year with Traumferienwohnung.de. With moderate success. 6 requests and 1 booking. When I was still considering whether to extend, the new bill came with 30% surcharge. No thanks!
