A repeat guest who books through a booking site costs you a commission on a guest you already won. Your own website should be the easier way to book you again.

  • A simple path to bookDates, room, done. Straight into your booking system, on your own website, in a few taps.
  • Returning-guest offersA code for a complimentary late checkout, a bottle of wine or free parking, applied by your booking system where it takes codes. We check that in the research.
  • Within your agreementsBooking-site agreements in Australia can limit a cheaper public rate on your own website. So we lead with perks and returning-guest offers, and check them against your agreements first.

Five stages, one team, no handoffs.

Plenty of agencies do design. A separate copywriter does words. Someone else hosts it. We do the lot.

The unfair advantage your competitors can't buy.

Many agencies will build your website, then build one for the motel down the road, then the one across the highway. We don't. icommodation partners with a single hospitality operator in each local market.

  • One operator per marketWe take one operator in your competitive catchment, then the door closes.
  • A relationship, not a transactionWe commit to you for the long term, exclusively, in your patch.
  • Once it's gone, it's goneThe day a competitor in your area signs with us, that opportunity closes to you.

Where it pays for itself

Take a two-night stay at $200 a night. At a 15% commission, $60 of it goes to the booking site. Book the same guest direct and that $60 is not paid to the booking site.

  • About 7direct repeat stays a month cover a $2,990 build paid over 12 months, plus $150 a month care, in year one
  • About 3direct repeat stays a month cover the care plan after that
An example only, before GST, card fees and your booking system's own charges. Your rates, stays and commission will differ: ask us to run the numbers for your property.

Pricing is illustrative and project-dependent. Subject to availability in your area.
