Comparison vs Airbnb / Vrbo fees
Airbnb typical stack
Owner keeps about 76%
Marketplace fees, payment friction, and channel dependency compress owner net and weaken the direct guest relationship.
Vrbo typical stack
Owner keeps about 79%
Vrbo often improves slightly versus Airbnb, but owners still pay to rent demand they do not control.
THF Direct
Owner keeps about 91%
THF captures more margin inside the operator relationship, lowers third-party dependence, and strengthens owner retention.
Why this matters strategically
- Owners see that direct booking is a revenue lever, not just a guest-marketing tactic.
- Higher owner net makes THF more defensible than a listing-only manager.
- Direct share strengthens pricing control, repeat demand, and long-term contract value.
