Direct Booking Savings Calculator for Holiday Homes

Q: How does the Doorloom savings calculator work?

Enter your current monthly revenue from online travel agencies (OTAs), pick the OTAs you list on, and add the properties you'd put on Doorloom. The calculator multiplies your OTA revenue by the average commission rate, subtracts your Doorloom subscription (a tiny flat fee that scales with inventories), and shows monthly, annual and 5-year savings in real time.

Why direct bookings save Indian holiday home owners lakhs every year

Online travel agencies (OTAs) like Airbnb, Booking.com, MakeMyTrip, Goibibo and Agoda deliver visibility, but they charge a steep tax for it. Airbnb's host-only fee sits at 15%, Booking.com averages 15-18%, and MakeMyTrip levies around 18% on holiday home bookings in India. On a single villa renting at ₹50,000 a month, that's ₹7,500-₹9,000 in commission gone every month — over ₹90,000 a year per property. Scale that across a small portfolio and OTA fees quietly become your single largest operating expense.

Doorloom flips the model. Instead of paying a percentage of every booking, you pay a small, predictable monthly subscription — ₹300 base + ₹300 per property inventory — and keep 100% of every direct booking. Your own branded direct booking website, professional reservation management tools, iOS + Android mobile apps and channel sync to every major OTA are all included. The calculator above shows exactly what you'd save in monthly, annual and 5-year terms once you start driving guests to your own website.

No. Doorloom is a reservation management app with channel sync to every major OTA, plus an SEO-friendly direct booking website. Most owners keep their OTA listings live and use Doorloom to push their best-margin channel: direct bookings from their own website and returning guests.

Doorloom is a predictable monthly subscription starting at ₹300 base + ₹300 per inventory + ₹50 per additional stay option. A single villa renting at ₹50,000 a month on Airbnb pays roughly ₹7,500 in commission — more than 10x the Doorloom subscription. See the Pricing Calculator for an exact quote.

We deliberately keep the 5-year chart flat — it assumes no growth in your bookings or nightly rates. In practice, holiday home revenue typically grows year over year, so your real savings are usually higher than what the calculator shows.

No technical skills required. Doorloom builds and hosts a branded direct booking website for your property, integrated with the reservation management app and mobile apps. Guests book and pay directly; you manage everything from one dashboard.
