This cost generally come straight off your bottom line and eats into your profits. Most owners who self-manage their holiday properties put an enormous amount of effort into organising and preparing their holiday house, cleaning and maintaining their holiday property, decorating their holiday house and creating a fantastic holiday guest experience around rental of their holiday accommodation. Some holiday rental property owners may add this commission to the cost of the booking or include it in the rates of their holiday home, this is a completely acceptable way of reducing your loss however, it does inflate the cost of your property and could be off putting to guests booking your holiday property.
