Frequently asked questions
Is Hostaway or Amenitiz cheaper?

Amenitiz is built specifically for independent hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses in France, Spain, Italy and Portugal, with local compliance built in. Hostaway is built for vacation and short-term rental managers across a wider range of portfolio sizes and geographies.
Does either platform charge commission on direct bookings?
Amenitiz states 0% commission on direct bookings processed through its own booking engine, though AmenitizPay charges per-transaction card processing fees. Hostaway's direct booking website is also positioned to help operators cut OTA commissions.
