What OTA commissions are actually costing you

Most hotels never sit down and add it up. If your property earns ₹10 lakh a month from OTAs and pays an average commission of 18%, that's ₹1.8 lakh going to the platform every single month. Over a year, that's ₹21.6 lakh, money that went toward bookings you brought in through your own marketing, your own reputation, your own guests coming back.

BookMax doesn't ask you to give up OTAs. It just gives guests a way to book directly on your own website, with no commission attached. A handful of direct bookings a week is usually enough to cover what you're paying for the tool.

See how it looks on your website

The booking widget sits directly on your existing website. Guests pick their dates, choose a room, enter their details, and pay, all without leaving your site or being redirected to a third-party page. It works the same way on a phone as it does on a desktop.

OTA Parity: Why Your Rates Don't Match Across Channels

Every hotelier knows the feeling: you set your room rates, only to discover a guest booked the exact same room on an OTA for 15% less—or worse, that your own website is charging more than Booking.com. This isn’t just an embarrassing conversation at check-in; it’s a rate parity breakdown that quietly drains your direct profit margin and hurts your search rankings. Rate parity issues rarely happen on purpose—they build up in the cracks between disconnected systems, manual updates, and forgotten promotions. Here is why your rates drift out of sync across channels, what it actually costs your business, and how to fix it for good.
