At StayAndPlay, we list properties from our trusted partners, including various online travel agents (OTAs) and direct listings via channel managers who distribute their inventory to platforms like ours and across the entire TravelAI network. When you signed up with their services, you likely agreed to additional distribution. We direct all visitors to our partners or property owners’ sites and do not handle bookings directly on our platform. Our role is to enhance visibility, increase bookings, and minimize unoccupied nights. There is no extra cost for listing on our network.
If your property has been removed from a partner’s website, it may still be cached on our site or in the process of being removed. It will eventually be unpublished from our network of sites. For expedited removal, please contact us, and we will assist promptly.
