Book Direct From Owners in Fuerteventura
Every villa and apartment on StayInFuerte is booked straight through the host — no platform fee either way
Most big booking sites add a service fee on top of the nightly rate, then take a cut from the host as well. StayInFuerte works differently: you contact the host directly, agree the details between yourselves, and book without either side paying a platform commission. Here's what that means in practice.
Why book direct instead of through a big platform
A typical booking platform charges the guest a service fee of 10-15% on top of the room rate, and takes a further commission from the host — money that adds nothing to your stay. Booking direct removes both of those markups. It also means you're dealing with the person who actually owns or manages the property, not a call centre, so a question about early check-in, a cot for a toddler, or a longer stay gets answered by someone who knows the place.
How it works on StayInFuerte
Browse listings the same way you would anywhere else — filter by area, property type or dates, and open any listing that looks right. Instead of an instant "book now" button, you send an inquiry describing your dates and group, and the host replies directly through their own inbox. From there you agree the price, any extras, and how to pay, between yourselves.
What direct booking means for price and flexibility
Because there's no commission to cover, hosts can often offer a better price for the same property than you'd see on a platform that takes a cut — and there's more room to negotiate directly, especially for a stay of a week or longer, or outside peak season. Changes and questions also go straight to the person who can actually answer them, rather than through a support ticket.
Frequently Asked Questions
Usually, yes — the total price doesn't need to cover a platform's commission on top, and hosts have more room to offer a fair rate or a discount for a longer stay when they're not also paying a cut to a third party.
StayInFuerte never sits between you and the owner: once a host has claimed their listing, you message them directly through the platform and can ask questions before agreeing anything. Some listings are still waiting for their owner to join, and for those the contact option appears once the owner has taken over the page. As with any direct arrangement, agree the details — dates, price, deposit, cancellation terms — clearly in writing before sending any payment.
Yes — this is one of the real advantages of booking direct. Message the host with your dates and ask; many are happy to offer a lower nightly rate for a week, a month or longer, since it saves them the cost and hassle of frequent turnovers.
No — StayInFuerte doesn't charge guests or hosts a booking commission. Listing on the site is how hosts reach guests directly; what you agree and pay is between you and the host.
