I manage a property with 10 units and I list my property on many holiday rentals websites. I decided to try this year the Trip Advisor for business and I paid 450 usd, not small money.
Besides the possibility to manage the reviews, which is of course very good for the online reputation of a property, I cannot see much convenience in terms of return of investment. Yes, I got some requests from TA, but I was expecting a bit more consistent increase of revenue and requests. Anyway, I think it's a must have tool for property owners and managers, a bit expensive but still OK. Maybe I need practice more and optimize the use of this tool. Any suggestions?

I travela a lot within South East Asia and it's my favorite travel partner. Easy to use and the instant booking is perfect. I love their loyalty program system for accumulating points, I had already a few accommodation for free redeeming the points.

I'm with them since 2009 for my 3 websites, I am very satisfied with their service. The customer service is very responsive, which is the most important thing in this industry. I only have problems sometimes with the IP going to blacklist, but they are always helpful to solve the issue. You can also buy domain names through them.

This website is a portal for direct bookings of villas and apartments. Some properties can be booked with an instant booking system and pay only 15% at booking time. For some properties there is the opportunity to exchange information directly with the owner. It's easy to browse and to use, with clear information and pictures. Currently most of the properties are in Thailand, but it seems it is expanding to many other countries. Give it a try if you would like to book a villa or an apartment during your holidays instead of a standard hotel room, it helps to save a lot of money.
