Why do operators choose BookAdria?
Because they were paying high commissions to intermediaries – or losing hours on paperwork, spreadsheets and phone bookings.
0% commission on bookings
Other tour and activity portals take 20–30% of every booking. BookAdria has a fixed annual subscription – every booking is 100% yours. With just a few bookings you pay off the annual subscription.
Your brand, your guests
On portals, the guest remembers the portal. On BookAdria the storefront carries your logo, your colours and your domain – the guest comes back to YOU.
Less admin, more guests
A counter booking in 30 seconds, automatic confirmations and reminders, QR check-in instead of paper lists, payments and outstanding balances per session at a glance.

Why it pays off
Common questions before switching
No. Many users combine both: portals for new guests, BookAdria for direct commission-free bookings (your own website, social media, returning guests). All bookings – online, phone and counter – share the same calendar and capacities, so the channels never clash, and the share of direct bookings grows over time.
Yes – every user gets a public storefront (bookadria.com/o/your-brand) with tours and activities, a gallery and booking. Share the link on social media and in your Google profile. If you already have your own website, you embed the booking widget with a single line of code.
You enter them yourself in 30 seconds – same calendar, same capacities, same confirmation with a QR code.
Usually less than a single day: you enter your activities, pricing and sessions – and the storefront is ready. We help with entering the data.
No. The subscription is annual, with no automatic renewal and no hidden costs. You can always export your data.
Booking verification: before confirming, the guest must enter a 6-digit code received by e-mail (optionally also by SMS). Fake entries and "taken then empty" spots thus disappear.
The subscription is annual and depends on the number of activities, attractions and team members – the packages are publicly available on the site, with no commission per booking and no charge per guest. A season with 1,000 guests costs the same as a season with 100. You can upgrade the package at any time with a proportional calculation.
Yes. The roles are owner, manager and staff member, and you grant each staff member individual permissions (bookings, calendar, reports, payments, settings…).
The way you are used to – by prepayment directly to your account or on site. BookAdria keeps a payment ledger per booking, so staff immediately see who has paid and how much still needs to be collected.
Yes – everything runs in the browser, with no app installation. The booking list has a compact view for phones, you scan QR codes with the phone camera, and for each session you can also download a PDF list for printing if you prefer paper in hand.
Yours, always. We do not share guest contacts or use them for other purposes, and you export bookings and participant lists to Excel or PDF whenever you like – and if one day you leave, the data goes with you.
Automatic confirmations and reminders go by e-mail and SMS, in the guest’s language. The confirmation with a QR code arrives immediately, a reminder the day and the hour before the session, and after the activity a review request too.
Yes – a money-back guarantee applies to new users: within 14 days of account activation you can request termination by e-mail and we refund the full amount of the annual subscription. Details are in the Terms of use.
In a single step: you pick a reason (weather, technical issue, too few sign-ups, force majeure…), optionally add a message and decide whether the notice goes out by e-mail, SMS or both. All bookings for that session are cancelled at once, and afterwards you can see whether the notice actually reached each guest.
Yes. The day after the activity the guest receives a review request in their own language. You choose whether it leads to an internal form that only you see, or straight to your Google reviews profile. Smart review routing is available in the MAX plan.
In the MAX plan, yes. When someone requests a verification code and never enters it, the seats are released immediately, but the name, phone number and their entire selection stay with you on the dashboard.
In Croatian, English, German, Italian and Slovenian – you choose which languages you offer. Your storefront, the widget and the confirmations and reminders all speak the guest's language, while you enter the names of activities, extras and locations in the languages you have enabled. When a translation is missing, the display falls back to your secondary and then your primary language.
We provide support through the application itself: open a request with a title, category and urgency, attach a screenshot and follow the replies in the same place. You also have permanent access to the "Questions and Answers" section with instructions for everyday work, and higher plans include priority support.
Depending on your plan, you can buy additional activities and user accounts individually, and you are charged only the pro rata amount up to the end of your subscription. The same applies when moving up to a higher plan.
