Why go direct in Lima?
Platforms add roughly 14–17% to the guest's total in service fees — and still take a host fee on top. On an average $60 night in Lima, that is a meaningful slice of your rate handed over with every booking.
Booking via a platform
- Guest pays ~14–17% service fee on top of your rate
- You pay a host fee on each booking
- You don't own the guest relationship or data
- Your listing lives under platform policies
Booking direct
- Guests pay your full rate — no service fee on top
- Zero booking commission for you
- Every guest and stay saved in your own records
- Calendar sync stops double bookings automatically
Your guests pay the same — or less — and you keep the difference. See everything included →
The Lima market
Lima's Miraflores and Barranco districts, perched over the Pacific, host a growing short-term-rental market feeding Peru's tourism boom. Hosts here pay OTA commissions on a rising listing base. A direct-booking website helps Lima hosts capture repeat guests and keep more of every stay.
Short-term-rental rules
Peru requires short-term-rental hosts to register with the tourism authority, with municipal rules in Lima. Requirements change, so always verify the current local rules.
Direct booking in Lima, answered
The questions Lima hosts ask us most — about rules, OTA fees and switching to direct bookings.
Yes, but you must typically register your rental with Peru's tourism authority and meet municipal conditions. Verify the current requirements before listing.
Guests usually pay around 14–17% in service fees on top of the nightly rate, plus a host fee. Direct booking returns that margin to Lima hosts.
Generate a branded website from your listing with Stayolo, connect calendar sync and Stripe, then invite past guests to book directly through your link.
Around $60 per night on average, with Miraflores and Barranco properties commanding premium rates. Direct booking keeps those rates for you.
Hosts who took back their bookings
We stopped giving 17% away
“I had no idea how much we were handing to booking platforms until we switched. Now repeat guests book through our own site at our full rate, and the calendar sync means no double bookings.”

Repeat guests now book direct
“The website looked like something a designer would charge thousands for. We send every past guest the direct link and around a third of our stays now come in commission-free.”
