Your apartment.
Your guest.
Your booking.
Every year, holiday and short-stay apartment owners hand billions in commission to platforms that own their guest relationships. We think that’s broken. One low annual fee. Zero commission. Every booking lands directly with you.
The maths your OTA hopes you never do
50 bookings a year at an average €500, with roughly 18% going to the platform — that’s €4,500 every year, for guests who were never theirs to begin with. Membership replaces it with one flat annual fee that never scales with your success.
How it works
Keep your OTA listings if you want them. No channel manager, no parity clauses, no algorithm to feed.
Join as a member
One annual fee. You sign the charter, we verify you and your listings — verification is exactly what makes guests trust booking direct.
Get found on our city sites
Your apartments listed on booking domains with 19 years of search equity — Amsterdam first, then city by city across Europe.
Guests book you, directly
Your website, your inbox, your guest data, your revenue. We never sit in the middle of the transaction.
The problem nobody says out loud
If you rent out apartments, you know the numbers. 15–25% of every booking goes to a platform. Do fifty bookings a year and you’ve paid an OTA a salary — for the privilege of not knowing who your guest is. The platform owns the relationship. The platform sets the rules. The platform decides tomorrow’s commission.
It didn’t start this way. The platforms began as marketing channels. They became landlords of your demand — and you pay commission on the same guest, again and again.
FeelGoodApartments is the exit that doesn’t ask you to leave. Keep the OTAs for first acquisition if you like. Join the network so your repeat stays, your direct demand and your guest relationships come home — commission-free, forever.
Relaunching city by city

Questions owners ask
Do I have to leave Booking.com or Airbnb?
No. The network works alongside your OTA listings. Most members keep OTAs for first acquisition and bring repeat stays and direct demand home, commission-free. Membership typically pays for itself within the first couple of direct bookings.
What does it cost?
One flat annual membership — no percentage, no per-booking fees. The founding rate is locked for life for the first 25 members and shared in your intake call. You pay nothing until your first listing goes live.
Who owns my guest data?
You do — completely. Bookings land on your website or in your inbox. We never sit between you and your guest, and we never will: the Member Council holds a veto on introducing commissions.
What happens when Amsterdam relaunches?
Founding members are listed first. Then we prove the model — real listings, real direct bookings — and expand city by city, with the founding group deciding where next.
Who’s behind this
FeelGoodApartments is founded by Mark Peters — nineteen years building apartment booking sites and online marketing for the short-stay industry, from Amsterdam to Rome. Operated by WebGenerator bv, built together with its members.
The network belongs to the people in it. That’s not a slogan; it’s the legal structure.
