Booking Platform Dependence
Hosts and operators rely on high-commission booking platforms and lack tools to build direct booking channels.
In their words
we ended up depending entirely on OTAs where you pay 15–25% commission and end up discounting
My uncle has been paying $379/mo for a "custom booking system" that is mostly an embedded widget.
We’re building our own website, spending about 4x more on proper homeowners/short-term rental insurance and hopefully getting rid of a lot of the Airbnb fees and headaches in the process.
It's really hard to build a side business when you're giving away 15–20% of every booking.
you’d think they could improve their software so that it’s possible to enter your pricing easily
I was finding it really difficult to manage the property.
Planning for your housing, going to and from your travel site and getting to know the facility and the housing and the neighborhood all take tons of time.
Groupon will run additional promotions when they feel like it! It’s not very transparent either
Go in manually and increase my prices ON EVERY SINGLE DAY an additional 3% to keep my take-home the same

take the 130+ trips already on the site that have no booking links and turn them into an affiliate revenue engine
taking 30% of our earnings when they were previously taking 20% is absolutely insane
Getting paid from Booksy is a pain and when you do get paid they take a huge percentage from you
Push notifications are inconsistent or completely nonfunctional, forcing me to manually open the app or constantly check my email

Why those fall short
- profiles went quiet, no direct discovery, OTA commissions 15-25%
- OTAs ignore removal requests and keep advertising nonexistent amenities
- Search surfaces listings in other regions than the guest searched
- reasons keep changing and no callback ever comes
- Automated tool math is misleading; repricing tools don't bake in cleaning fees.
