Why Pay More When You Don’t Have To?
Hidden service fees and processing costs from platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, or Booking.com can quickly add up—sometimes as much as 15% to 20% more than the original nightly rate. At WeekAway, we think that’s unnecessary. That’s why we offer a better way to book our properties. When you book directly through our website, you save up to 15% by bypassing the extra guest service fees charged by third-party platforms. Not only that, but we’re committed to transparent pricing, so the price you see is the price you pay.
The Hidden Costs of Third-Party Platforms
Most vacation rental platforms charge hefty guest service fees that are layered on top of the rental price. Here’s how they typically work:
- Airbnb: Charges up to 14% in guest service fees for reservations.
- VRBO: Adds a service fee of up to 15% on top of the total booking amount.
- Booking.com: Includes a variety of fees that vary by property, but they can quickly stack up.
These fees are designed to cover the platform’s operating costs, not to benefit you as the guest. They’re hidden, unavoidable, and can make what seemed like an affordable getaway significantly more expensive.
