Why go direct in Seville?
Platforms add roughly 14–17% to the guest's total in service fees — and still take a host fee on top. On an average €100 night in Seville, 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 Seville market
Seville's historic Santa Cruz quarter, flamenco culture and spring fairs draw visitors year-round, supporting a lively short-term-rental market. Hosts here pay OTA commissions under Spain's tightening rules. A direct-booking website helps Seville hosts capture repeat guests and keep more of every reservation.
Short-term-rental rules
Andalusia requires short-term-rental hosts to register with the regional tourism registry, and Seville restricts new licences in the historic centre. Rules are strict, so always verify the current local requirements.
Direct booking in Seville, answered
The questions Seville hosts ask us most — about rules, OTA fees and switching to direct bookings.
Yes, but you must typically register your property with the Junta de Andalucía's tourism registry, and new licences are restricted in the old town. Verify the current rules 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 Seville hosts.
Use Stayolo to create a branded booking site from your listing, sync your calendar and Stripe, then route returning guests to your own booking link.
Around €100 per night on average, with Santa Cruz and Triana properties commanding more during Feria and Easter. Direct booking lets you hold those rates.
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.”
