1 Arm yourself with the rate you took down earlier and GIVE THE ACCOMMODATION A CALL!

2BE CLEAR FROM THE OFF. Explain that you would like to stay at their property, you discovered them on website, (Insert OTA Here).

3 Tell them the dates you want to stay and ASK THEM FOR THEIR BEST ‘OFFLINE PRICE’!

“I WANTED TO BOOK WITH YOUR PLACE BECAUSE IT LOOKS EXCELLENT. I WAS GOING TO GO

THROUGH AN ONLINE WEBSITE, BUT I WANTED TO COME TO YOU DIRECTLY.”

6 THIS IS WHYTHEY WOULD DO THAT

WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?

?The booking site makes their money by charging the accommodation owner 10-20% COMMISSION ON EVERY BOOKING.

The MAJORITY tend to USE THE LATTER, therefore if you call them directly for an off-line rate, THE SAVING IS ALL YOURS!

The accommodation owner has TWO CHOICES: 1. REDUCE THEIR PRICES in order to

accommodate the commission, or,2. put the commission ON TOP of their usual on-line

rates.

THERE’S NO HARM IN TRYING!
