We do not accept reservations made through platforms like Booking.com or Expedia. These platforms typically charge a substantial 15% commission, which is directed overseas and contributes to higher overall costs. Instead, we offer a more equitable pricing structure and are delighted to extend additional cost savings for extended stays.
