Booking direct versus booking platforms: what you gain (and save)

Booking platforms are handy for discovering places, but they come at a price. On top of the rent you often pay 15 to 20% in service and booking fees, money that doesn't go towards your stay but to the platform.

The advantages of booking direct

• The best price: no booking fees or platform commission
• Personal contact with the people who know the property
• Flexibility over check-in, extensions and groups
• Fair, transparent terms with no surprises

But is it safe?

Absolutely. You book with Belgian owners who offer a fixed point of contact, a clear cancellation policy and transparent payment arrangements. You can always ask your questions directly, in your own language, something an anonymous platform can't offer.

At Jeromi Del Sol we let all our stays ourselves. Check availability and experience the difference of booking direct.
