Rates checked in September 2026. Under its single-fee structure, Airbnb charges most hosts 15,5%; Airbnb says other hosts typically pay between 14% and 16%. Exceptions depend on country and account type. Booking.com sets the commission rate in each accommodation agreement, and visibility programmes may increase it. This worked example uses a possible range of 15% to 25%. If Booking.com facilitates payment, the applicable payment terms and transaction cost are contract-specific. Our 3,9% cost contribution is included in the displayed total and contributes towards Stripe payment fees and refunds. BookNoFees earns nothing from it. Nothing is added at checkout and nothing is deducted from the owner. Fee models can change, so please check each platform’s current terms.

About Mallorca
Staying in Mallorca
Mallorca is the largest of Spain's Balearic Islands and one of the Mediterranean's most-loved holiday destinations. The southwest, around Palma, Santa Ponsa and Andratx, mixes marinas, calm bays and easy airport access, and works well for couples and first visits. The north and northeast around Pollença, Alcúdia and the Tramuntana mountains are greener and quieter, with long sandy beaches that families tend to prefer. The east coast hides some of the island's prettiest coves around Cala d'Or, while Sóller and the mountain villages inland trade the beach for orange groves and hiking. The season runs long: May, June and September are warm and far less crowded than peak August, and many holiday homes change over on Saturdays. Hosts list their own homes on BookNoFees, and guests can message them before booking. For a booking request, Stripe first places a card hold for the full amount; the host has 48 hours to accept, and only then is the amount captured. Instant Book is charged immediately after Stripe confirms payment.
Good to know
Self catering accommodation in Mallorca: FAQ
What are the best areas to stay in Mallorca?
Mallorca offers very different areas depending on the type of trip. Palma is ideal for city life and restaurants, the southwest is popular for beaches and nightlife, while the north around Alcúdia and Pollença is especially popular with families. The east coast is known for smaller coves and quieter holiday areas.
Can I book vacation rentals in Mallorca without host commission?
BookNoFees deducts no commission from the amount set by the host. The displayed accommodation total already includes the 3.9% cost contribution for Stripe payment fees and refunds, and nothing mandatory is added at checkout. A guest only pays more if they expressly select the optional flexible-cancellation product offered for that listing.
Are there villas and holiday homes with pools in Mallorca?
Yes. Mallorca has a large number of villas, fincas, apartments and holiday homes, many with private or shared pools. Available properties on BookNoFees depend on the listings currently published by hosts.
Which part of Mallorca is best for families?
Popular family areas include Alcúdia, Playa de Muro, Pollença and parts of the east coast, thanks to their beaches, calmer atmosphere and family-friendly accommodation.
What is the best time to visit Mallorca?
May to October is the main travel season. July and August are the hottest and busiest months, while May, June, September and October are often attractive for visitors who prefer warmer weather with fewer crowds.
Do I need a car in Mallorca?
It depends on where you stay. Palma and some major resort areas are accessible by public transport, but a rental car is useful if you want to explore beaches, mountain villages and more remote parts of the island.
Can hosts list a Mallorca vacation rental for free on BookNoFees?
