Best-Price
These hostel / hotel booking portals take a commission of 12-15% of the total price from the hostels and hotels.
The hostels that do accept such bookings end up with only a portion of the amount they have actually calculated. This is not generally a problem for a few bookings in a given year. However, in recent years, the number of reservations through such booking portals has increased dramatically. As a result, a typical, midsize hostel/hostel may pay between 15,000 to 50,000 € per year in commissions. Coupled with the already low prices being charged for a bed in hostels, this is a big problem.
Hotels/Hostels are continually being hit with higher commissions, i.e. 12-15%, by these booking portals. So, in order to not lose money, the price of a bed offered on such a site must be increased. In other words, the same bed will often cost more when booked through one of these portals than when booked directly through the hotel/hostel.
