    Speaking from the house owners point of view, I would certainly want my unit to be occupied, even if it is at 50% discount. Most of the operators have around 30%-40% occupancy rate to breakeven. So, they will happily do it for a 40%-50% discount as long as their unit is occupied.

    Then do you still book via the website? You get the lower price offered on screen or is this transaction outside the web agency, the establishment saving on the agency fees?

    • @benfishermin
      @benfishermin  Месяц назад +1

      They send the offer through airbnb. I used to offer cash for a lower price but eventually someone will report you and then you’ll get banned, so better to do it always through the website.

    Reminds me of a time i was walking in Chiang Mai on the main road into town and a Tuk Tuk driver pulled over and wanted to give me a ride. I said how much and he said 100 Baht. It was only about a mile ride. I said no thanks and i kept walking. He drove off and parked ahead of me and he said now he would take me for 80 Baht. I politely said no thanks once again and he got pretty mad. Then he said 20 Baht and i said Ok 20 Baht sounds good. So instead of driving down that street and getting nothing he still got something. So this is really the same thing that you are talking about with your AirBNB's ...its better for them to get something than nothing

    Good advice. Was in KL and Singapore last week and mostly book accommodation at the last moment. Have noticed with Agoda the price jumps around some, but towards the end of the day it holds firm until say after eight at night. So would be interesting to use your technique to see what the movement in price. Booked a flight through Agoda last week because Google flights was showing a fifty dollar discount. Agoda said the ticket would be sent to me which it wasn't so went to the Air Asia Live chat to find it which I did, but it was a frustrating process :)

    Well, I am not going to risk ruining a typically long vacation by waiting to the last minute to book a place. What if all the nice places are gone for those dates? Frankly, if you don't have the money stay home.

    • @benfishermin
      @benfishermin  Месяц назад +4

      It also works doing it ahead of time, but I'd go for less of a discount, not half price. In the end there's nothing to lose by negotiating the price, since you can still book the room at full price if they decline.
      "Frankly, if you don't have the money stay home." - It's not really about having the money or not, you'd negotiate the price of anything else so it only makes sense to do it here as well. Some people are also on a tight budget, so if there's a way to make it work then why should they stay home?
