When searching for holiday accommodation, most people head straight to Airbnb or Booking.com. But here's what they don't tell you: these platforms charge hefty commissions that get passed directly to you. Book direct and keep more money in your pocket.
When you're searching for holiday lets across the UK, it's tempting to go straight to big platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, or Vrbo. These websites dominate search results, but here's something many travellers don't realise: they don't own a single property.
They are simply marketing platforms that charge property managers like us hefty commissions. At Luxstay Ventures, with properties across Brighton, Watford, and Leicester, we want you to know that the best way to book your stay is to book direct. Not only will you save money, but you'll also enjoy exclusive perks and a far more personal experience.
Save Up to 35% on Your Stay
When we list a property on sites like Airbnb, Booking.com, or Vrbo, we're forced to raise the nightly rate to cover their commission fees—often between 15–25% per booking. That extra cost is passed directly onto you, the guest.
By choosing to book direct with Luxstay Ventures, you cut out the middleman and unlock savings of up to 35% compared with booking platforms. That's more money in your pocket for enjoying your destination.

Booking direct doesn't just save you money—it also enhances your entire experience. Here's what you'll get when you skip the big platforms:
