Our verdict
Dtraveler affiliates turns hotel bookings into recurring income for travel advisers, which is a narrower job than the booking tools nearby. Booking fees run 5% direct, 9% referred; 0% direct on Pro over $5K, and the product range is hotels. Anyone wanting to sell beds and nothing else will like the focus.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Fees apply on both sides of the relationship, so direct and referred sales both earn, with the Pro tier dropping the direct rate.
- Product range is hotels, so the offer is easy to explain to clients who only need somewhere to sleep.
- A mobile app is available, which suits advisers working bookings away from a desk.
- Support runs on help centre and community, giving advisers a help centre plus a community for peer advice.
Cons
- Hotels are the only product, so clients who want a full trip have to go elsewhere for the rest of it.
- Booking fees sit at 5% direct, 9% referred; 0% direct on Pro over $5K, and only the Pro tier at higher booking value removes the direct percentage.
- Support runs on help centre and community, so there is no live chat or phone line for a booking in progress.
Who it suits
- Travel advisers who mainly book hotels for clients and want a partner rate structure.
- Small agencies and family businesses that prefer a simple, single-product offer.
- Pro users who can push booking value past the tier threshold to clear the direct fee.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone building a full itinerary, since MoMo covers flights, rail and bus under one roof.
- Advisers who want a broad catalogue rather than hotels only, such as WayAway with flights, rail and bus.
- Those who need live chat or phone help, since 12Go pairs fares with a different support mix.
How Dtraveler affiliates compares
12go lists flights, rail and bus, useful for regional itineraries where ground transport matters as much as the stay.
Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to join Dtraveler affiliates?+
Booking fees are the cost side of the deal, set at 5% direct, 9% referred; 0% direct on Pro over $5K. Partners pay a share of each booking they bring in, with a lower rate on the Pro tier once booking value is high enough. There is no separate subscription named in the published pricing.
Can I sell anything other than hotels through the programme?+
No. The product range is hotels, so the programme is built around accommodation bookings. Advisers whose clients need flights or transfers should pair it with a broader seller rather than promise a full trip.
Do I earn on bookings I recommend or only on my own sales?+
Both. Booking fees are 5% direct, 9% referred; 0% direct on Pro over $5K, which covers direct bookings and referred clients separately. The direct rate falls away on Pro at higher booking value, so volume pushed through Pro is the cheaper way to grow.
Is there an app for managing bookings?+
A mobile app is available, so bookings and client details can be handled away from a desk. That suits advisers who meet clients in person or work from different locations rather than a fixed office.
How do I get help when something goes wrong?+
Support runs on help centre and community. A help centre handles the routine questions, and a community gives other partners a place to compare experiences. There is no live chat or phone line listed, so urgent cases lean on the help centre.
How does this compare with a broader travel seller?+
A broader seller handles more of the trip. momo covers flights, rail and bus, wayaway covers flights, rail and bus, and 12go covers flights, rail and bus. Dtraveler affiliates stays with hotels only, which keeps the proposition simple but pushes the rest of the booking elsewhere.
Is there a commission threshold for better fees?+
The pricing plans tie the lower rate to the Pro tier, and booking fees of 5% direct, 9% referred; 0% direct on Pro over $5K set out the direct and referred shares. Direct bookings carry no fee on Pro once booking value passes the stated level, so volume is what moves a partner into that tier.
Who benefits most from a hotel-only partner?+
Advisers whose client list is mostly accommodation-led, and family agencies that want a simple supplier relationship. Those who need transport, tours or packages in the same sale will get more from a seller such as momo with flights, rail and bus.
