We would love to have 100% of you book direct through our website or calling us. Why would you? #Bookdirect for the best rates at The Hive at 52.

A commission-free booking is always a blessing for a B&B but the fact is Online Travel Agents (What is an OTA, click here) have a lot of power and money. They are very effective at capturing bookings and they have a huge budget to advertise and to get our guests to book with them.

Here are 5 key reasons why you should book direct:

1. Saving money

When you book direct with the B&B you can save money!

The big listing sites like Airbnb &Expedia charge ‘service’ fees of up to 25% of the cost of the booking, putting extra cost into your holiday or short break.

If you are travelling to this destination on a more regular basis, we will looking after you and can discuss a reduced rate depending on amount of visits. ‘There are many other advantages of booking direct with the accommodation provider.

2. Direct communication

You will be talking to the owner at the B&B! They know the property and location so can answer your questions and give you advise when you need it.

4. Not all properties are listed on the big OTA’s or meta search sites.

Many B&B’s are not listed on the big OTA’s and can only booked direct via the owners or the properties website. This is more common that you might think, in addtion sites like Booking (.com) charge us owners at least 15% of each booking, some of them even more!

5. Off peak deals

You will find that an owner of a B&B can offer you an off peak special which they don’t advertise on the OTA channels.
