Ever feel like booking a hotel or holiday home is more stressful than it should be?

You spend hours scrolling, comparing prices, opening endless tabs—only to find out that “deal” you spotted isn’t quite as good as it seemed. What most people don’t realise is this: you’re often paying more than you need to, all because of hidden commission fees.

At Secret Stays, we do things differently. Here’s how.


What Is Secret Stays?

Secret Stays is a members-only booking platform that gives you access to beautiful hotels and holiday homes around the world—without the commissions that inflate prices on mainstream sites.

Think of it as a private travel club where the best rates are quietly waiting behind a door only members can open.

You pay a small annual fee, and in return, unlock access to exclusive prices at thousands of properties across the UK and beyond—often saving hundreds of pounds per trip.


Why Are the Prices So Much Better?

Here’s the truth: big booking platforms often charge hotels and holiday homes up to 25% commission per reservation. That cost usually gets passed straight onto you.

At Secret Stays, we don’t take any commission. That means hotels can offer our members better rates directly—without losing a big chunk of their revenue.

So you pay less. They earn more. Everyone wins.


Why Is It Members-Only?

That’s what keeps the rates low and the deals exclusive.

Hotels aren’t allowed to publicly advertise prices that undercut the big platforms. But because we operate privately and securely behind a login, they can offer those same rates directly to you.

In short: you’re getting access to deals that simply aren’t available anywhere else.


Does Membership Actually Save You Money?

Absolutely. Most of our members save more than the cost of their annual membership with their very first booking.

Here’s what that can look like:

  • A cosy weekend break in the Lake District – Save £80–£150

  • A family holiday cottage in Cornwall – Save £200–£400

  • A boutique hotel for a city break in Europe – Save £50–£120

And the more you travel, the more you save. It’s as simple as that.


What Kind of Places Can You Book?

We work directly with a growing collection of handpicked properties, including:

  • Countryside cottages and rural retreats

  • Boutique city hotels

  • Chic coastal holiday homes

  • Independent stays you won’t find on Booking.com

Whether you’re after peace and quiet, a romantic break, or a spontaneous long weekend, we’ve got you covered.


Why Secret Stays Just Makes Sense

We're not another flashy booking site. We’re a smarter, more transparent way to book your next escape.

What makes us different:

  • No commission fees (ever)

  • Private access to exclusive, lower rates

  • Beautiful, carefully selected properties

  • Real savings that grow with every trip

You won’t find us advertising inflated discounts or “flash sales.” Just honest pricing, all year round.
