Direct Booking Discounts
Booking direct can save you significant $$$ vs booking on platforms (20% or more vs Airbnb)!
But how? Airbnb charges you 14% of your total as a "Platform Fee" and then charges the host (me!) another 4%.
Booking direct I pass along the 3% Stripe credit card processing fee, but that's it, so there's 11% right there. Combine that with a 9% preferential pricing for booking direct, and you save 20%!
But if that wasn't enough!!! Booking direct on HostedbyJames I have the full control to offer other discounts:
1. Early Bird - book more than 60 days in advance and you can get an additional 5% off
2. Extended Stay - book 7 days or more up to two weeks and save 10%, thats like getting a free night or maybe more depending on the season! (excluding major holidays, July 4th, Thanksgiving, and Christmas through New Years Day)
And, unlike those pesky big box stores these discounts can be combined!
I am actively working on ways to expand the base of excellent repeat guests, so check back in the future as we add other discounts and incentives to book direct!
