Why, I hear you say.
Its now impossible to get in touch with owners through the likes of Owners Direct (now HomeAway) and even airbnb?
Well i'm well and truly annoyed with it all and so made my own website www.owners-properties-direct.uk
25 x FHD (1920 x 1080) pictures.
1 x FHD Video for that special presentation.
1 x Calendar for each property with ical.
1 x Google Map location for each property.
Display all of your contact details.
Display your external website address.
List Homes, Villas, Cottage’s, Apartment’s, Condos, B&B, Boat’s, Bungalow’s, Caravans, Duplex's, Dorm’s, Farmhouse’s, Gite’s, Studio’s etc.
Home Away, Expedia, Trip adviser, Airbnb all charge you the guests up to 15% commission on top of the owners prices as a so called book with confidence tactic or booking fee... and you are also paying for insurance without your knowledge... these add-on’s can lead to hundreds of pounds on top.
The actual owners are totally disgusted and many are now listing their property with OPD or Simply Owners (Although the later do charge for listing)
If you have holiday property and wish to advertise it on www.Owners-Properties-Direct.uk then simply register, log in and enter your details, prices, availability, pictures etc. and I'll activate it once confirmed a genuine place.
Interested parties may then get in touch with you DIRECTLY, you both arrange payment methods between you... unlike OD/HA/AirBnB/Expedia who now force guests to book through their system, taking away the methods of direct communications until you have paid their commission.
HomeAway on trustpilot.... hundreds of reasons why you should not use these sites.
