Why join now

Join Before the 2027 Tourism Season

Build your presence today. Be ready when thousands of travellers arrive.

Looneytravels Marketplace is already live.

Partners can already apply, publish listings and receive bookings while we continue improving the platform.

Instead of waiting until everything is finished, we''re inviting trusted local businesses to join during our Soft Launch. This gives every partner time to build high-quality listings, improve their visibility in Google and be fully prepared before our largest marketing campaign begins.

The earlier you join, the more time your listing has to build visibility before the 2027 tourism season.

Our objective isn''t simply to launch a booking platform.

Our objective is to build the most trusted local marketplace in Rhodes for travellers and businesses.

Why we built this

A digital booking marketplace built exclusively for Rhodes.

Looneytravels is a digital booking marketplace built exclusively for Rhodes. We connect travellers with verified local businesses through transparent pricing, live prices and a simple booking experience.

Our mission: put fair, transparent tools in the hands of local operators and give customers a direct line to the people delivering the experience.

Benefits for partners

What you get

Fair, transparent commissions

Clear rates per service, published below. No hidden fees, no surprise deductions.

More visibility

Your listings appear in the marketplace, on service pages, and in our local marketing.

Direct local bookings

Customers book you, not a faceless global brand. You own the guest relationship.

No large OTA fees

We deliberately keep commissions lower than the big platforms. What you earn stays with you.

Faster communication

Real humans, on WhatsApp, in your timezone. Reservation problems get solved the same day.

Built for Rhodes

Every feature is designed with local operators in mind — not a generic global template.

Commission rates

Transparent Commission Rates

Fair commissions. No monthly fees. No setup costs. You only pay when you receive a completed reservation.

Most international booking platforms charge between 15% and 30% commission. Looneytravels was built to support local Rhodes businesses, so our commissions are lower and completely transparent. We only succeed when you do.
Early Partner Offer

Businesses joining Looneytravels before March 2027 will permanently lock in the commission rate shown on each card.

After March 2027, commission rates for new partners will increase by 2 percentage points (except Food & Dining, which remains a fixed €5 per completed reservation).

Join early to secure lower lifetime commission rates before our full marketing launch.

Why are our commissions lower?

Large international OTAs often charge between 15% and 30% commission, plus additional advertising or promotional fees.

Looneytravels is a local marketplace built specifically for Rhodes. We keep commissions fair so local businesses retain more of every booking while travellers enjoy a trusted booking experience.
