What commission really costs
With a commission of 15–18%, a property that earns 20,000 € a year through platforms pays 3,000 € or more in fees. Every booking you move to your own website keeps that money in your pocket.
Ethereal Booking
Take direct bookings and keep the whole price
Booking platforms are great for being found – but every booking costs a commission. Ethereal Booking lets guests book on your own website, with no fee per booking, while your calendar stays in sync with the platforms.
Turn platform guests into direct guests
Guests who found you on a platform often search your name afterwards. With a booking form on your website they can book you directly next time – and you get their email for the future.
Free to start, no fee per booking
The plugin is free on WordPress.org with unlimited properties. If you want card and PayPal payments, Ethereal Booking Pro is a fixed yearly price – never a percentage of your bookings.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you take a percentage of my bookings?
No. There is no commission. Payments go directly to you – at the property, by bank transfer, or to your own Stripe / PayPal account with Pro.
Will I lose bookings from the platforms?
No. Keep your listings; the iCal sync keeps all calendars aligned, so you get platform bookings and direct bookings without overlaps.
How do guests find my website?
Add the booking page to your website menu, Google Business profile and social media, and give returning guests your link.
