Guaranteed the lowest price

The affiliate system

Hotels.nl has been active on the Dutch hotel market since November 2001. At this moment we take bookings for more than 1,500 hotels in the Nederlands and Belgium. These hotels can only be booked online; we do not work on request. This results in a low percentage of cancellations. The hotels can change the Hotels.nl commission themselves. Hotel owners can lower or raise their commission in order to receive a better ranking in the results list. In some cases, this results in bookings commissions up to 15%. For our affiliates, who receive a standard commission of up to 45%, this means that it is possible that they will receive up to 7% of the total amount of the booking as their affiliate fee.

Link system

Hotels.nl produces a script which places a cookie on the customer's hard disk that does not expire and sends your customer to the page of your choice. The biggest advantage of this system is that if the customer you send to the Hotels.nl website returns for instance 3 months later to make another booking, you will receive commission from Hotels.nl again.

Full XML - PHP integration into your website

Hotels.nl offers you a unique PHP & XML link system so you can fully integrate the Hotels.nl database into your own website. You can alter and adapt these files without limitations into your own corporate style to realise optimum integration.

• Click here for an example of a search form This is a 5.5 kb PHP file. By means of XML it places the names of the cities in which hotels that can be booked through Hotels.nl can be found in a search list.
• Click here for an example of search results This is a 4.0 kb PHP file. It builds an availability page by means of the parameters which are sent to the file. Via XML this file connects with the Hotels.nl server and collects the current data and subsequently shows these on your webpage. This file also writes a cookie that remembers the parameters that were entered. This cookie will be used by the next script.
• Click here for an example of a hotel page This is a 6.7 kb PHP file. It builds a hotel page with the hotel's details and the current room details.The PHP script looks at the cookie, which has been placed on your customer's computer by the searchav file and it uses those data to build a hotel page. The moment you will change your data in for instance the search form the hotel pages that you download with this file will also change.

Commission

Hotels.nl pays her affiliates 40% of the commission invoiced by Hotels.nl. When you realise more than 100 bookings a month through Hotels.nl, (stayed bookings in the month that is being invoiced) the commission will be raised to 45% Hotels.nl does not distinguish between "private label" and "Hotels.nl label" affiliates.
