How is this possible? What's the catch?

There is no catch, just more money in your pocket. Savvy is designed to help you book directly with the professional hosts managing the property, but we don’t tack on extra traveler fees, which means you get the same stay for less. The natural next question is often...'So how do you make money?' We charge property managers a small 5% fee per confirmed booking. It's always free to list. Compare that to Airbnb, where property managers pay 18% or more. There are no hidden costs buried in your checkout price.
