AmenitizBoost is Amenitiz's built-in digital marketing service. Instead of charging a monthly fee or upfront budget, AmenitizBoost takes a 12% commission on confirmed bookings. You only pay when AmenitizBoost actually generates a booking for you.

This article explains what the 12% covers, how it's calculated, and how invoices work.

What the 12% covers

The commission funds everything required to run paid campaigns for your hotel:

Paid advertising budget on Google Search, Google Hotel Ads, Microsoft Bing, Trivago and TripAdvisor.
Campaign management by a dedicated team that sets up, monitors and optimises campaigns for your property.
The technology platform that connects your booking engine to the ad networks and attributes bookings back to the right campaigns.
Tracking and reporting via Google's attribution stack, with metrics available on your AmenitizBoost page.

There is no upfront cost, no monthly fee, and no commitment — you can deactivate AmenitizBoost from the Marketplace at any time.

How the 12% is calculated

For each AmenitizBoost-attributed booking, the commission base is the sum of:

The room rate (booked nights)
Extras sold with the booking (breakfast, parking, etc.)
Custom charges added to the booking

The 12% is applied to that base. Then local VAT is added on top of the commission.

Excluded from the base: city tax / tourist tax.

📝 Cancellations: no commission is charged on a cancelled booking. If it was already invoiced, you get a refund or credit note on the next invoice.

Modifications: the commission is calculated at the time the booking is confirmed. If the price is later increased, the commission stays the same. If the stay is shortened, the commission stays the same.

How and when you pay

AmenitizBoost commissions are invoiced once a month:

Invoices are issued on the 3rd of each month for bookings confirmed in the previous month.
If you did not receive any AmenitizBoost-attributed bookings in a given month, no invoice is generated for that month.
The amount is automatically withdrawn from your bank account — no manual payment needed.
You can find your AmenitizBoost invoices in Settings → Billing information.

Important rules

Pay-per-result. You only pay when AmenitizBoost generates a confirmed booking. No bookings = no invoice.
No rate negotiation. The commission is 12% — the same for every hotel, regardless of plan or market.
No trial period. AmenitizBoost is activated as-is from the Marketplace.
You stay in control. Deactivate from the Marketplace at any time — no contract, no notice period.

FAQs

Is there any upfront cost or monthly fee?

No. AmenitizBoost is purely commission-based. You don't pay anything until a booking is confirmed.

Is the 12% applied to the city tax?

No. City tax (or tourist tax) is excluded from the commission base. Only the room rate, extras and custom charges are included.

What happens if the booking is cancelled?

No commission is charged on cancelled bookings. If the booking was already on a previous invoice, you receive a refund or a credit note on the next invoice.

What happens if the guest changes the booking after confirmation?

The commission is calculated when the booking is first confirmed. If the price is later increased or the stay shortened, the commission amount does not change.

Why am I being charged VAT twice — once per booking and once on the monthly invoice?

VAT is applied twice in two different contexts. First, local VAT is added on top of each booking's 12% commission (this is the line you see on the reservation). Then, when all booking-level commissions are summed into your monthly invoice, an additional VAT is applied on the entire invoice total. This is the standard B2B accounting flow — it is not an error or double charge.
