I’ve had a few requests for reductions lately and some very cheeky emails from booking agents such as Bookingdotcom suggesting I reduce my price. Following from a friend’s comments on FB, here are the things I have to take into account when pricing just ONE night here:
Cotisations: 13% 6 euros
tax: 1% 0,8 euros
Commissions (average over various sites and direct): 4 euros
payment fee: 2% 1,50 euros
Heating & hot water: 3 euros
rates/taxes/insurance: 1,50 euros
laundry: 10,00 euros
cleaning: 20,00 euros
Pool maintenance/cleaning: 10,00 euros
Consumables/welcome pack/breakages etc 6,00 euros
This is why we ask guests to BOOK DIRECT with us (to save them paying commission we never see), why we are Planet Friendly (reducing electricity costs, recycling and saving water), and why we offer great accommodation for a great price.
