How can you tell if Cparici is actually bringing you direct bookings?
That's a great question, and we're going to answer it!
Numerous hosts ask us the same question:
And to answer that, we first need to understand a key difference between Cparici and the major booking platforms.
Unlike Airbnb, Booking, or Abritel, Cparici does not charge any commission on your reservations.
We do not process payments.
We do not handle reservations.
We do not take a percentage of your revenue.
Our mission is different:
Help people discover your hosting to travelers and connect them directly with you.
Once a traveler finds your listing on Cparici, they can:
Visit your website.
Call you directly.
Send you an email.
Contact you via Instagram.
Use the website's built-in messaging system to submit a reservation request (if you've clicked the tab on your dashboard)
The traveler then books directly with you.
If you haven't registered on Cparici.com yet, Join the Cparici network for just €39 per year.
This is probably the most important point to understand.
When you receive a reservation from Booking or Airbnb, you know right away where it came from, since the reservation is made on their platform.
At Cparici, that's not the case.
The traveler discovers your hosting through us, but finalizes the reservation directly with you.
In most cases, you will receive:
The customer won't always mention that they found you through Cparici.
That is the very essence of direct booking.
To help you track your visibility, we provide several metrics on your dashboard.
Among other things, you can check out:
This data shows how many times your hosting was viewed by travelers.

These interactions are often the first signs of a future connection.

Describe:
A regularly updated listing inspires more confidence.
A professional website significantly increases the chances of converting visitors into direct bookings.
The easiest way is to ask the question.
When a traveler contacts you, simply ask:
“How did you hear about our hosting ?”
You'll often be surprised by the answers.
Numerous hosts They discover that travelers found them through:
We do not intend to come between you and your customers.
We do not seek to control your reservations.
We simply want to help you gain visibility and encourage direct bookings.
Every commission-free reservation means more revenue for your business.
This philosophy has guided Cparici from day one.
No. No commission is charged on reservations made as a result of your visibility on Cparici.
No. Travelers are redirected to your website or your contact information.
From your dashboard, you can view the number of views, clicks to your website, and interactions with your contact information.
For now, Cparici is more of a supplement that helps you increase the percentage of your direct bookings and reduce your reliance on commission-based platforms.
Direct bookings generally allow you to keep the full amount of the reservation and build a direct relationship with your guests.

We joined Cparici.com to give more visibility to our two rentals in La Palmyre. What we like: direct bookings with travelers... and the fact that the site is 100 % French!
I had my first direct booking with Cparici. The 39€/year ad price is already reimbursed 🙂 I like the concept of the website: my rental has its own page and what's more, it appears in articles that talk about local tourism. Not to mention the community spirit
In just a few weeks on Cparici, first direct booking from a British traveler thanks to the site translated into English! The advert has already paid for itself... with a Google rating of 5 for the stay and no commission charged.
We're based in France on the Atlantic coast, and we place great value on working in the field.
