Rotterdam sells mostly through Airbnb and Booking.com. Hague hotels live on government, diplomatic and NGO business, often booked through negotiated rates and travel management companies, so midweek BAR should be protected and weekend leisure packages built around the coast. Rotterdam properties depend more on Ahoy events, port business and conferences. We track the court and congress calendars, set group cutoffs ahead of major summits, and keep separate comp sets for central Rotterdam, The Hague and Scheveningen.
Booking.com is the main channel for both cities, carrying most international business and German weekend leisure. Airbnb works well for apartments, longer stays and beach groups. Hotels should keep corporate and government rates off public OTA channels, and use Booking.com visibility tools only in January and February rather than during summer or festival weeks.
The full service is described on our other hotel ota optimization page; this page covers how it applies in Rotterdam.
