Hotel Website vs OTA Commission — The Real Cost for Rajasthan Hotels

The Real Cost of OTA Dependence

If your hotel takes 50 bookings a month at ₹3,000 average through OTAs, you are paying ₹22,500 to ₹45,000 in commission every single month. A direct booking website costs a fraction of that — once.

Let's do the actual maths:

| Metric | Value |

|---|---|

| Monthly bookings via OTA | 50 |

| Average booking value | ₹3,000 |

| Monthly revenue | ₹1,50,000 |

| OTA commission (20%) | ₹30,000/month |

| Annual commission paid | ₹3,60,000 |

| Growth website cost | ₹60,000 (once) |

Your website pays for itself in under 2 months of saved commission.

2. **Google Business Profile**: Keep it updated with photos, posts, and responses

3. **Price parity or better**: Offer the same or lower rate on your own site

4. **WhatsApp follow-up**: Message past guests with direct booking links

5. **TripAdvisor link to your site**: Many hotels forget to add their direct booking URL
