About MarginStay
MarginStay helps hotels, resorts and villas get more bookings on their own websites, so they pay booking sites less commission.
What we do
Booking platforms take 20% to 30% of a booking once their add-ons are counted. We run ads that bring guests to book on your own website instead, where a booking usually costs 8% to 12%.
We choose the mix that suits your hotel from Meta and Instagram ads, Google Search, Google Hotel Ads and email to your past guests, then put more budget into whatever brings the most bookings. Guests book on your own website, and you keep their contact details for next time.
Who we work with
We only work with hotels, resorts and villas. You do not have to leave the booking platforms. We add a second source of bookings that costs you far less per booking.
How it works
- Free review of your bookings (days 1 to 3). We look at where your bookings come from today and what each source costs you.
- Tracking set up (days 4 to 7). We connect to your booking system so we can see which ad brought each booking.
- Your ads go live (from day 8). We check results every day and put more budget into the ads that bring bookings.
- You keep the savings (each month). Every direct booking saves you up to 20% compared with booking sites. A monthly report shows how much.
How we talk about numbers
Every figure in our guides names its source, and examples are labeled as examples. Booking sites do not publish one rate for everyone, so we show ranges and tell you to check your own agreement.
The same goes for us. A direct booking through MarginStay usually costs 8% to 12%. Your exact figure depends on your hotel, and we work it out with you on a call. Pricing depends on your hotel's size and how many bookings you get, and we agree it with you before we start.
