Frequently asked questions about advertising and renting on Vacation-Apartments

What happens after registration?

After registering, you can check out your personal lessor area and start creating your first advertisement. If you are satisfied with your advertisements and the invoice has been paid, our team will check all the details. Your advertisement is then ready for publishing, and we will notify you via email. The period starts once your advertisement has been activated.

Does the advertisement renew automatically after 12 months?

No, we do not renew advertisements automatically. Once the advertisement period is expired, we will simply leave an invoice in your personal lessor area. That way, you can consciously decide whether you want to work with us again.

Will there be additional costs for me or the holiday guests?

No, we won't charge you nor your holiday guests any extra fees. The annual fee is paid at the beginning of your contract period, thus securing your flat rate for inquiries – without additional costs. As a matter of principle, we do not charge guests any service or booking fees, so they won't incur extra costs.

Why do I only pay an annual fee and no booking commission?

We have deliberately opted for advertising and against commission, as the advantages for hosts clearly outweigh any possible risks of this business model. It allows hosts on Vacation-Apartments to contact holiday guests directly and decide for themselves whether or not to accept a booking. Furthermore, you will receive the rental income directly from your guest, not through Vacation-Apartments. If we were to work on a commission basis, this flexibility would be significantly limited or maybe even lost entirely.

How much rental income can I generate with my apartment?

As a lessor on Vacation-Apartments, it is completely up to you how much rent you want to charge for your apartment or holiday home. You can enter different seasonal rates, surcharges, etc., into our price calculator and neither you nor your guests will incur additional fees.

How long will it take for my advertisement to be activated?

The duration of our activation process depends, among other things, on how much time you need to enter all necessary information to your satisfaction. The advertisement can only be activated once all important data has been stored and the invoice has been paid.

Which types of bookings are available on Vacation-Apartments?

You can choose the type of request you want to receive. If you opt for non-binding enquiries, you will receive enquiries that are non-binding for you and holiday guests alike. If you opt for our 24-hour booking service, you will receive requests in which guests make a binding booking valid for 24h hours. You still have the option of accepting or rejecting these requests. Both options give you, the host, control over your bookings.

Do the rental payments go through Vacation-Apartments?

No, we don't deal with security deposits or rental payments. The payment transaction between you and your guests is entirely handled by you.

Will Vacation-Apartments hand over the key on my behalf?

Our focus is to provide the best possible marketing for your apartment or holiday home and to find the right guests for you. We do not interfere with the rental on site and can therefore not hand over the keys on your behalf. Nevertheless, we are happy to assist you with our know-how in all matters relating to holiday rental.
