Joining the group as I am disgusted as well and really fed up with the increases over the past few weeks!
High commission rates to start - then fees introduced when they take payment directly from customers - now commission on cleaning fees! Not to mention when you accept the Genius program and get a booking with a customer who gets 15% reduction. Calculate what's left at the end when you finish paying your overheads and then the tax man!
BDC IS KILLING US!
I'm seriously considering leaving and trying another way of renting - maybe setting up my own site and investing with Google to get good ranking!
I received this notification along with a previous one some weeks back informing us that if Booking take payment from customers they will change us a fee
Booking's commission is the highest on the European market, now these charges along with customers part of the Genius program are killing us!
I rent out my home in Ireland, so I'm not a big business like a hotel, and honestly these increases are killing me
I charge 50.00 euros cleaning fee but pay my caretaker 100.00 euros so I am considering increasing cleaning fee to cover Booking's commission increase
Is this an initiative from Booking to get rid of us the small guys!?
Oh yes! I have said that so many times 😉
I'm also on airbnb, worked great the first year then rapidly decreased 😏 however this year I have seen an improvement. It's hard to know what to do...
