How is my Boost commission calculated?

Expand
titleAnswer
  • Boost commission is collected on both rent and fees, but not on taxes 

  • Boost commission is collected on any cancellation fees that were paid as part of a cancelled reservation 

If you see commission being charged for a cancelled reservation that you did not receive any money for, please provide documentation from the OTA showing that the reservation was cancelled in full, and the amount earned on the reservation was $0. This can be provided in whatever form is easiest for you – a screenshot, PDF, etc. You will need to send this to Billing@bluetent.com and be sure to include your name, the invoice you are referencing, and the reservation details.
