Why go direct in Valencia?
Platforms add roughly 14–17% to the guest's total in service fees — and still take a host fee on top. On an average €105 night in Valencia, 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 Valencia market
Valencia is one of Spain's rising short-term-rental stars, with the City of Arts and Sciences, beachfront districts and the Fallas festival drawing growing demand. Hosts here pay standard OTA commissions as the market matures. A direct-booking website helps Valencia hosts stand out early and keep more of every stay.
Short-term-rental rules
Valencia regulates short-term rentals with a regional registration system and municipal conditions. Rules vary and change, so always verify the current local requirements.
Direct booking in Valencia, answered
The questions Valencia hosts ask us most — about rules, OTA fees and switching to direct bookings.
Yes, but you must typically register your property as a tourist home with the regional government. Verify the current requirements for your neighbourhood before listing.
Guests typically pay around 14–17% in service fees on top of the nightly rate, plus a host fee. Stayolo's direct booking returns that margin to you.
Generate a branded website from your listing with Stayolo, sync your calendar and Stripe, then send repeat guests a direct booking link.
Around €105 per night on average, higher near the beach and during Fallas. 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.”
