When we think about organising our holidays, the first thing that usually comes to mind is opening platforms such as Booking or Airbnb to search for accommodation. They are practical, fast and well known. But did you know that booking directly with the company or owner can be a much smarter, cheaper and more beneficial decision for you?
At Riu Rau Rentals, we want to tell you why more and more travellers are switching to direct booking and enjoying a more authentic, simpler experience without extra costs.
1. You save up to 20% on commissions
Large platforms apply hidden commissions and surcharges that increase the final price of your booking. By booking directly with us, you pay the actual price of the accommodation, without intermediaries or excessive commissions. That means more money in your pocket to enjoy your holiday.
2. Personalised attention and friendly service
When you book with Riu Rau Rentals, you don’t talk to an algorithm or a call centre, but to a team that knows every house, every alley and every cove in Jávea and the Marina Alta.
This allows us to recommend the best property for your needs and give you local tips so you can enjoy a much more complete experience.
3. More flexibility and clear conditions
Cancellation and change policies tend to be more rigid on platforms. With us, you get greater flexibility and transparency: we explain the conditions from the outset and adapt to your needs whenever possible.
4. Better knowledge of the destination
By booking directly, you benefit from our local know-how. We tell you which beaches are the quietest, where to eat good rice, which hiking trails to take and which festivals you can’t miss.
You’re not just booking accommodation: you’re getting a guide to the destination.
5. Direct communication without intermediaries
If you have any questions or need to resolve an issue, you will speak directly to us, without bots or automated messages.
This means faster, more personalised and more effective communication, both before and during your stay.
6. The security of a trusted local company
In a market full of online scams, booking with a local company with a face and a name is a guarantee.
At Riu Rau Rentals, we offer clear contracts, secure payments and verified accommodation.
