Dtravel aims to provide hosts with transparent, affordable pricing that supports direct bookings and broader reach. Here's a breakdown of how our fees work:
💰 Standard Booking Fee — 3%
For every confirmed booking, Dtravel charges a flat 3% fee.
This fee helps cover the cost of maintaining our secure payments infrastructure, direct booking technology, and host support services.
🌐 Referred Booking Fee — +6%
If a booking is referred to you through one of Dtravel’s external marketing channels, an additional 6% referral fee applies. These include:
- Google Vacation Rentals
- Dtravel Metasearch (cross-platform discovery, powered by Dtravel)
- Collectives (coming soon) — community-powered marketing groups that help boost exposure for your listing.
This makes the total fee for referred bookings 9% (3% standard + 6% referral).
✅ Example
If a guest books directly through your Dtravel site:
- You pay 3%.
If a guest books via Google VR:
- You pay 9% (3% + 6%).
💡 Why the Referral Fee?
Referred bookings help increase your visibility and fill your calendar by reaching travelers you may not have attracted on your own. The 6% fee helps cover the cost of distribution, platform partnerships, and driving demand for your listing.
