A new 100% Greek platform, Bnbator.com, aims to transform the travel experience by offering fair, transparent, and affordable short-term rentals.
According to Andreas Chiou, CEO and Managing Director of Bnbator, the only cost to property owners will be an annual fee of $100 (80 euros) per listing, which covers operational expenses and advertising costs.
Key Features and Benefits
The company highlights several core advantages of the platform:
• Zero Commissions: Neither property owners nor guests pay any platform commission fees.
• Competitive Pricing: Transparency in communication enables more attractive rates, benefiting all parties involved.
• Independence and Flexibility: Owners are not bound by third-party algorithms or dynamic pricing, while guests enjoy clear pricing and better deals.
• Direct Communication: Each listing prominently displays the owner’s phone number (if they choose) and email, facilitating quick, secure, and personalized agreements.
• Web3 & Blockchain Technologies:
o Smart Contracts: Automated enforcement of booking terms and payment guarantees.
o Cryptocurrency Payments: Guests can pay using popular tokens, reducing transfer times and fees.
• Data Security: Distributed blockchain systems protect personal data and transaction history.
A Shifting Tourism Market
With the global short-term rental market surpassing $150 billion annually, property owners are increasingly seeking alternatives to the high commission fees imposed by major players such as Airbnb, Booking.com, and Expedia. Bnbator.com addresses this gap by eliminating commissions, supporting the local economy, and boosting the short-term rental sector.
Headquartered in Greece, bnbator.com initially focuses on strengthening the domestic short-term rental market by promoting Greek properties to visitors nationwide. The platform plans to expand internationally in its next phase, connecting hosts and travelers directly around the globe.
