bnbfinder CEO Eric Goldreyer said: “Vacation rental fees have gotten out of control, but property management companies and travellers should not have to settle for this as their only option.

“We’re excited to bring the same ‘book direct’ approach we’ve established for over two decades to the vacation rental world today, empowering property management companies with an alternative to avoid the fees, increase their profits and help guests save big on their next trip.”

Additionally, bnbfinder has enhanced its site’s user interface and experience.

Fees for both PMs and travellers have been eliminated to boost PM profitability as well as enhance price competitiveness compared to hotels.

This fee-free approach is further expected to allow property management companies to reduce distribution costs and offer lower prices to travellers.

Goldreyer added: “Ultimately, the property management companies are the hospitality providers and always will be – not bnbfinder, Airbnb, Vrbo or any other online travel agency.

“Because our book direct model allows PMs and guests to communicate without limitations, we look forward to helping bring hospitality back to the vacation rental market.”

bnbfinder exclusively lists professionally managed and verified vacation rentals, bed and breakfasts along with inns.

This allows guests to book with trusted professional hosts who offer local expertise for a great travel experience.

bnbfinder also encourages communication between prospective guests and PMs, fostering a personalised guest-host relationship.

The move is expected to help boost conversion rates during bookings.

Additionally, travellers can seek advice from PMs on dining, activities, or alternative properties.
