Why is LeibTour cheaper than Booking.com, Airbnb, or Expedia?
Why is LeibTour cheaper than Booking.com, Airbnb, or Expedia?
LeibTour is an independent platform that negotiates rates directly with local property owners — no franchise fees, no corporate overheads, and no commissions passed on to you. Rates are benchmarked against Booking.com, Airbnb, and Expedia for the same property, same dates, and same occupancy, and are typically up to 15% lower.Because LeibTour specialises exclusively in Ibiza and Formentera, it can maintain closer relationships with hosts and secure preferential terms that global platforms simply can’t match.
What is the cleaning fee and why does it vary?
What is the cleaning fee and why does it vary?
The cleaning fee is a one-time charge set by the individual property owner to cover end-of-stay cleaning. It is not set by LeibTour. The typical amount is €30 + IVA, though it can be higher for larger villas or properties with extensive facilities.In many listings the cleaning fee is already factored into the total price shown — if so, you won’t see it as a separate line item. Where it is listed separately, you’ll see it clearly broken out in your booking summary before you confirm.
Are taxes included in the displayed price?
Are taxes included in the displayed price?
Not always. There are two tax types to be aware of:
- IVA (Spanish VAT): Generally included in accommodation rates as displayed.
- Ecotax / Tourism tax (Impost de turisme sostenible): This Balearic Islands visitor tax is never included in the displayed rate. You pay it directly at the property when you check in. The amount depends on the type of accommodation, the time of year, and the number of nights — the property’s reception team will advise you on arrival.
What is the Better Price Guarantee?
What is the Better Price Guarantee?
If you find the same property at a lower price on another platform (same dates, same room type, same occupancy), LeibTour will beat that price. Simply send a link to the competing offer to the team and they’ll review it and come back with a better rate.
What does the 'Acceptance Score' mean on a listing?
What does the 'Acceptance Score' mean on a listing?
Every listing on LeibTour displays an Acceptance Score, which shows the percentage of recent booking requests for that property that were successfully confirmed. For example, a score of 85% means 85 out of the last 100 requests were approved.This score exists because LeibTour’s availability calendars reflect potential availability rather than guaranteed real-time inventory. A higher Acceptance Score gives you more confidence that a booking request is likely to be confirmed. During high season (May–July), scores can fluctuate, so it’s worth checking this figure before you commit — especially if your dates are fixed.
Can I get a better price by paying via bank transfer?
Can I get a better price by paying via bank transfer?
Yes — paying by bank transfer saves you €25 compared to paying by card. This saving is applied at checkout when you select bank transfer as your payment method and is separate from any early booking discount or coupon code you may also be using. The bank transfer saving is combinable with early booking discounts, so if you’re booking well in advance you can stack both.If you have a specific question about payment options for a large group booking or a long-stay reservation, contact the team directly at booking@leibtour.com.
Prices on LeibTour use dynamic pricing, which means rates change frequently based on demand, season, and availability. The price displayed at the time you complete your booking request is the price that will apply if your booking is confirmed — but if you leave and return later, rates may have changed.
