Running a non-hotel property comes with several economic challenges, including the impact of commissions on online booking channels..
However, Booking.com offers a concrete and official opportunity to reduce these costs.Through the promotional program “Introduce us to a structure”, managers can get zero-commission bookings, accumulating overall savings that can reach 2.000 €.
This incentive is open to anyone who owns or manages eligible alternative accommodation, a category that includes apartments, holiday homes, bed and breakfasts and other similar non-hotel establishments..
How collaboration and the reward mechanism work
Topics index
The program is based on the principle of invitation and collaboration between owners, without placing any limit on the number of people to whom the code can be sent.The more friends you invite, the greater the chances that multiple contacts will decide to register, extending the commercial benefits to a large network of colleagues..
When a new business signs up, a bilateral advantage is activated: both the presenter and the new partner get the opportunity to zero out the commissions on bookings..
Sharing the link is flexible and immediate, and protects the privacy of participants: the name of the presenter or his specific activity will not be associated with the presentation if the recipient decides to register..
To start this process, the user can simply click on the Booking.com official registration link, accessing a guided setup that simplifies the creation of the new adOnce you're involved in the initiative, you can spread the word and share the link with your contacts, on social media, or with anyone who might be interested..
Structure requirements and bonus activation
The portal guarantees maximum flexibility with regards to the operational requirements of the invited propertiesIn fact, it is possible to list any type of non-hotel facility for any period of time, whether the business remains open 365 days a year or operates exclusively during the owner's holidays..
However, the effectiveness of the invitation and the unlocking of the reward are linked to a specific activation criterion: it is not enough for the facility to complete the registration, but it is essential that it receives at least one booking on the portal to validate the bonus..
The entire program has a maximum limit of 50 commission-free bookings in total, for a maximum value of €2.000 in commission savings.Specifically, for each successfully submitted property, the maximum savings achievable is €200 (up to a maximum of 10 properties), although the total amount may vary slightly based on the geographic area and local currency..
Sometimes you may see your commissions reset on less than 5 bookings for a single invitation: this simply happens because fewer bookings than expected were needed to reach the maximum threshold of €200 in savings allowed for that single property..
Once the 5 exempt reservations or the economic limit of the single invitation have been reached, or if the global ceiling of €2.000 is reached, the program will be interrupted for the presenter.Despite this, you can continue to introduce new activities: in this case the presenter will not accumulate further rewards, but the invited friends will continue to receive their commission-free benefits upon registration..
Accounting management and savings crediting
From an administrative point of view, the discount is not applied directly to the ordinary commission invoice, which will continue to be received and paid monthly according to the normal methods.After the monthly statement is issued, commission-free reservations are processed and Booking.com issues a separate credit note.It will be this separate accounting document that will cover the savings on commissions that the manager is entitled to..
To maintain full control over the progress of the bonuses and monitor the accumulated sums, the portal provides dedicated tracking toolsCommission-free bookings appear in your reserved area only after your monthly invoice has been processed..
The details and complete history of these facilitated transactions are always available in the section “Reservations” or by visiting the entry “Commission-free bookings” located in the tab dedicated to improving the performance of the Extranet.
Participating in this initiative represents a smart, zero-cost strategy to optimize the revenues of your non-hotel business and at the same time support other owners at the beginning of their journey..
