We charge a 5% Travelnest Fee per booking, plus a 15% Channel Commission

We like to keep things simple — there’s a 5% Travelnest fee and a 15% channel commission per booking.

Please note that bookings made through Travelnest Direct are not subject to channel commission. Only the 5% Travelnest fee applies.

Travelnest Fee: 5%

This is our fee, charged per booking. It is 5% for all bookings, no matter which channel the booking comes from. This gives you access to over 30 global channels, our full product features, customer support and industry-leading expertise to improve property performance on every channel.

15% Channel Commission 

We handle all channel commissions for you, including guest payments and payouts. The 15% commission applies to all bookings, so you always know what you’re being charged.
Note: Travelnest direct bookings do not incur a channel commission.

VAT

VAT will be applied to fees for UK-registered accounts and deducted from your payout. If you are VAT registered in the UK, you can reclaim this. A VAT invoice will be issued with each payment, showing a breakdown of fees per booking.

For accounts registered outside the UK, VAT will not be charged. You are responsible for paying VAT and/or tax according to your local laws. To remain exempt from UK VAT, provide an international correspondence or business address in your Travelnest account.

To clarify, VAT will be applied to all accounts registered with a UK or Northern Ireland address.
