For accommodations

About membership

What exactly is BestBookingSite?

A collective booking platform, built AI-first. A shared booking site like the big OTAs, but owned and steered by the participating accommodations themselves. Every participant has a say in how the platform evolves.

What does membership cost?

The model has three parts: a one-off onboarding fee, a monthly membership and a low commission per booking as a performance component. That commission is substantially below the 15 to 30% the big platforms charge. We discuss exact amounts in an intro call, tailored to your situation.

Do I have to leave Booking.com or Airbnb?

No. BestBookingSite is an additional, direct channel without the heavy commission. Many members keep using the OTAs and gradually shift their centre of gravity towards direct bookings.

What does "a say in the platform" mean in practice?

Participating accommodations help steer the development: which features get priority, what the rules look like and where the collective marketing focuses. Especially in the building phase, the voice of the first members carries real weight.

Which accommodations is the collective for?

Small holiday rental companies and agencies, independent and boutique hotels, resorts, B&Bs, serviced apartments and aparthotels: accommodations too small to take on the OTAs individually.

What phase is the platform in right now?

The building phase. The first accommodations are joining, starting in Spain with Tenerife and the Canary Islands, and they help decide how the platform evolves. We don't show places that don't exist and we don't quote numbers that aren't real.

For travellers

About booking

What makes booking through BestBookingSite different?

You book directly with the owner of the accommodation, without an anonymous middle layer. You get local knowledge and personal service, and the owner keeps more of your booking than through the big platforms.

How does searching with AI work?

You describe your trip in plain language: who's coming, the dates, the vibe and your wishes. The AI travel agent turns that into matching places from participating owners and helps with planning and alternatives.

Is everything I see really available?

Yes. The platform only shows real places from participating accommodations, with live availability. No bait listings and no artificial scarcity.

When can I book?

The platform is being built right now together with the first accommodations, starting in Spain. Want to know when your favourite region goes live? Leave your details on the contact page and we'll keep you posted.
