Exceptions depend on country and account type. Booking.com sets the commission rate in each accommodation agreement, and visibility programmes may increase it.

Our 6,9% cost contribution is included in the displayed total and contributes towards Stripe payment fees and refunds. Nothing is added at checkout and nothing is deducted from the owner. Fee models can change, so please check each platform’s current terms. Sources: Airbnb Help Center and Booking.com General Delivery Terms.

Popular places to stay in Lower Saxony
Lower Saxony stretches from Germany's North Sea coast to the uplands in the south. Its landscapes give a vacation here very different settings: tidal shores and island dunes, open heathland dotted with juniper, and wooded hills farther inland. The Wadden Sea, Lüneburg Heath and the Herrenhausen Gardens in Hanover are among its defining sights. Along the coast, Dornumersiel brings together a fishing harbour, salt meadows and dikes opposite the island of Langeoog. Offshore, Norderney combines sandy beaches with protected landscapes in the Lower Saxon Wadden Sea National Park. Inland, the heath around Wilseder Berg offers walking routes through a landscape shaped by grazing sheep. Heather usually flowers in August and September, although the timing depends on the weather. Hanover adds a different kind of outdoor visit, with the formal Great Garden and botanical collections of the Berggarten at Herrenhausen. Choosing where to stay starts with the landscape you want nearby. Bodenwerder lies on the Weser and is associated with Baron Münchhausen, while Stuhr borders Bremen. For a coastal stay, the Dornum area places the Wadden Sea at the centre of the trip.
