Add these if they happen to you too
We start by counting the OTA commission leak only. Tick the ones that actually happen at your villa.
Guests leave before they can book because the page is heavy or there is no booking button.
Prospective guests book another villa because the chat is not answered in time.

This is not an operating cost. It is money that should have stayed in your pocket.

The leak above equals 1.7% of your net profit.
This percentage of net profit is the one worth deciding on, because the leak comes out of what you actually take home rather than out of gross turnover. You can change the margin under More detail.
Leaking to OTA commission

The cut on every booking you could shrink by driving direct reservations.
What you could claw back per year
IDR 1,421,550 per year
Our assumption: about 60% of the leak above closes in the first year, because a website takes 3 to 6 months to start catching guests who search your villa by name. This is not a direct-booking share, and it is not yet measured on a client project.

For 1 unit: one page with a photo gallery and a WhatsApp button with the message already written.
Every night booked direct keeps IDR 270,000 of commission. The build cost is covered after 13 direct nights.

These figures are estimates based on your inputs and our own worked assumptions, not yet measured on a client project, and not a guarantee. They show direction, not an exact number.
How we calculate this
No secret formula. Here is the logic behind the numbers:
We size your monthly revenue: units × nightly rate × occupancy × 30 nights.
OTA leak · average commission times the revenue share through OTAs; only 5% of that is counted as shifting to direct, the same as the Website Bisnis pricing page. Industry research: a website without ads adds 2 to 8 points.
Website leak · our assumption: direct bookings lost equal 6% of demand with no website, 4% with a slow one, and 1.5% with a fast one that takes bookings, versus a fast-website baseline.
Response leak · our assumption: 2.5% of demand is lost when replies often take over 1 hour. Every figure is our own worked example, not yet measured on a client project, and kept deliberately cautious so we never overstate.
Where villa profit usually leaks
These three leaks show up often in Bali villas. The good news: all three are fixable.
Total dependence on OTAs
OTAs bring guests but take 15% to 22% of every booking. Without a direct channel, you rent your own customers from someone else.
How we plug it: a direct booking route beside your listing, Airbnb stays live.
See the Cut Your OTA Commission packageA slow website, or none
Guests decide in seconds. A heavy page, broken on mobile, or no booking button sends them straight back to the OTA.
How we plug it: a fast, mobile-clean villa website built to turn visitors into bookings.
See villa website serviceSlow replies to guests
Guests message several villas at once. The fastest, clearest reply usually wins. One hour late and they have booked elsewhere.
How we plug it: a website that answers rates, amenities and distances before anyone asks, and a WhatsApp button that already carries the dates and guest count, so your reply is one sentence.
