What you can do here

  • Work out the net amount you receive after OTA commission, payment charges and GST.
  • Compare OTA bookings with direct bookings to see what each channel really earns.
  • Generate review replies, social media captions, offers and promotional text.
  • Check your listing and website against practical checklists.

A simple channel strategy

OTAs bring visibility, especially for new or smaller properties. Direct bookings usually earn more per room because there is no commission. A healthy plan uses OTAs to fill the gaps and slowly grows direct bookings through Google, your website, WhatsApp and repeat guests.

Keep rates consistent across channels unless your agreements allow otherwise. Rate disparity can hurt your ranking and guest trust. Commission rates differ by OTA, city and contract, so always use the figure in your own extranet agreement in these calculators.

Reviews and ranking

OTA ranking generally depends on conversion, review score, content quality, price competitiveness and availability. Reply to every review politely and quickly, keep photos and amenities up to date, and keep inventory open on busy dates.
