The number of guests did not grow on the same scale and was considerably reduced by recent aggressive price policies of hostels. This left the overpopulated AirB&amp;B platforms with no choice but to create an algorithm which spreads demand equally among suppliers. <span style=\"color: #000000;\">This means that your listings have limited exposure to certain groups of guests at certain times, as ordered by the algorithm which tries to spread the exposure of your listing equally among you and other competing hosts. An inevitable consequence of this that you will never sell your days fully. When supply exceeds demand you either suffer the loss of unsold days or must reduce your price. Both can be considered as losses.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">TheGM allows you to advertise away from hyper-competitive routes, benefiting from both higher rates for your accommodation and visibility on the platform.<\/span><a id=\"smartchoiceprogramme\"><\/a><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">span style=&#8221;color: #000000;&#8221;&gt;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Competition between platforms: The end of the era of monopolism.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Having more platforms to advertise your property brings to an end the era of a single service provider, empowering local hosts with choice and possibilities. This is the end of the era of harsh behaviour toward the local-host, making decisions solely based upon service provider\u2019s behalf, and length of relationship dictated by a single provider. By introducing more competition between the platforms and not between the local hosts, prospects are much brighter as the service provider works harder to meet the needs of hosts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">TheGM considers this as its biggest achievement in its constant search for a more equal society. TheGM is a logical response to market demands.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Pricing benefits: Generating higher income through informed choice.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Use of the TheGM platform is less expensive\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thegoldenmoon.com\/blog\/pricing-explained-for-hosts\/\">(2,5% plus VAT)<\/a>\u00a0than using those of\u00a0competitors.

However, the competition on the platform is very high making your unbooked days a certainty. Loss of profit due to the highest internal and external competition was the most noticeable disadvantage of the platform last year.

However, it imposes a remarkable 18% service charge on the guest\u2019s side, making the price guests pay much higher, reducing the probability of the booking. More than this, the company does not perform any security check on their guests allowing bookings for anyone having confirmed an email address. This in turn considerably increases the risk of losses in case of an unfortunate mishap.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thegoldenmoon.com\">Thegoldenmoon.com<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u2013 2.5% plus VAT.\u00a0Full guest ID checks with verified email, phone, and presence on social media.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegoldenmoon.com\/blog\/thegm-super-offer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1806\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thegoldenmoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Untitled-design-5-1-300x65.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"974\" height=\"211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thegoldenmoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Untitled-design-5-1-300x65.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thegoldenmoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Untitled-design-5-1-600x129.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thegoldenmoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Untitled-design-5-1-768x166.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thegoldenmoon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Untitled-design-5-1.jpg 853w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 974px) 100vw, 974px\" \/><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\">5-star Service benefits: a considerable increase in perception of quality of the hosted property<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We provide 5-star service for every customer resulting in:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Profitability increase through improved guest satisfaction<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Higher evaluation of property on social networks<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Improved user-generated online content<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Higher favourability and credibility of host<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Host\u2019s Service Benefits: \u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thegoldenmoon.com\/blog\/your-house-your-rules-policy\/\">&#8220;Your House &#8211; Your Rules&#8221; Policy<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">TheGM was created by hosts and understands the many challenges involved from personal experience.
