InVeniceHotels earns revenue in three ways. This page explains each, so you know what a link on the site is and is not.
Direct-booking partner commission
For labelled partner hotels, you can enquire directly via a form on the hotel page. There is no prepayment. If the enquiry converts into a booking, the hotel pays us 8 to 12 percent commission (agreed per partner). You pay the hotel on arrival, on the hotel’s own cancellation terms.
Booking.com affiliate
Booking.com search widgets appear on non-partner hotel pages, on sestiere hubs, and on hotel-type roundups. If you book a stay through one of those widgets, Booking.com pays us a commission; you pay Booking.com’s advertised rate, no premium. Widgets carry a disclosure pill above the widget.
Expedia deep-link affiliate
Expedia buttons appear as a tertiary CTA on non-partner hotel pages where Booking.com does not list the property. Same principle: Expedia pays us commission on completed bookings; you pay the advertised rate.
What affiliate income does not buy
No paid inclusion in editor’s picks. No inclusion in any shortlist because a hotel is a direct-booking partner or a Booking.com property. The editorial policy spells out the shortlist criteria.
