How commission and partner discounts work

At Keyguides Connect, our philosophy is simple:

We only make money when you make money. You always decide your own prices, and who pays the commission depends on how the booking comes in. Here’s how it works:

1. Direct bookings via your profile ✅

• You set your own price (tour or hourly).

• Guests book you directly through your profile.

• We add 15% commission on top, which the guest pays.

• You always receive 100% of your set price.

2. Partner requests 🧾

• When a partner sends you a booking request, the price on the request is what you receive.

• You see the price before you apply or accept.

• You never pay commission on partner requests.

3. Partner referral bookings 🔗

• Some partners get a 10% partner discount on your price, for example hotels that refer guests to you through a referral link.

• These bookings are always clearly marked PARTNER REFERRAL.

• You see your original price crossed out next to the new price with the 10% discount.

• You always know exactly what you receive before you accept.

How the customer sees it

We strive to be as transparent as possible, always showing the fee so that customers also know what they are paying to who.

Key takeaway

With Keyguides Connect, you control your prices and you never pay commission. The only time you receive less than your price is a partner referral, where the partner gets 10% off. It is always clearly marked, so you know exactly what you receive before you accept.
