Pricing
Reseliva Booking EngineNo extra commissions
Online travel website reservation buttonYou pay a very high commission for booking systems that appear to be free at first glance.
How?
If a guest finds your hotel through a travel website first and then visits your hotel website to make a reservation on your own website, you will still have to pay a commission to the travel website.
The travel website save your guest's information for a certain period of time (cookies). When the guest (who find your hotel through a travel website first and then visits your hotel website) books a room through your own hotel website, the travel website charges you a high commission (e.g. 15%). The reservation will be shown as if were made through the travel website and not your own. A single reservation can cost as much as what you would pay for an entire year for Reseliva online booking engine.
