Why Book Direct
Better rates. Real people. No middlemen.
Every booking platform takes a commission, and it is built into the price you pay. Book with us directly and it simply is not there. That is the whole trick, and there is no catch in it.
Direct means Altimera. Altimera Collection manages and lets all eleven New Gudauri apartments itself, so the company you book with is the company responsible for the apartment, the price and the stay. There is no individual owner to deal with and no agent in the middle.
Six good reasons
What you actually get
Not loyalty points or a gimmick. Concrete differences in what you pay and how your stay is handled.
No platform commission
Booking sites add their cut to every reservation. Come to us directly and that margin is not in your total. Same apartment, same beds, same view, lower price.
You reach the people who run the building
Not a call centre in another timezone reading a script. You message the team who hold the keys, know which road is open, and can act the same day.
Flexibility a platform cannot authorise
A delayed flight, an early check-in, an extra night on the end. We can simply say yes, because there is no third party in the middle of the decision.
Your whole trip, arranged
Ski passes, rentals, lessons, a chef, a massage after a long day. Tell us before you arrive and it is waiting for you.
The right apartment for you
Eleven studios, each a little different. Tell us who is coming and what matters, and we will put you in the one that actually suits, not whichever the algorithm surfaced.
We remember you
Come back and you are a returning guest, not a fresh transaction. Repeat guests get first refusal on peak dates.
Side by side
Direct versus a booking platform
| Direct with Altimera | Booking platform | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform commission on your booking | None | Added to your total |
| Who answers your message | The team in Gudauri | Platform support |
| Early check-in or late checkout | Ask us, usually yes | Subject to platform rules |
| Ski passes, rentals, lessons | Arranged before you land | Arrange it yourself |
| Choosing your specific apartment | Yes, tell us what you want | Whatever is listed |
| Returning-guest priority on peak dates | Yes | No |
Commission rates vary by platform and change over time, so we do not quote a percentage. Compare our direct rate against the same dates on any platform and you will see the difference on the total.
Booking with confidence
Direct does not mean risky
Our booking runs on Lodgify, the same professional system used across the industry, with secure card payment and an instant written confirmation. You are booking with Altimera Collection, the company that manages and lets all eleven apartments, not with an individual owner and not with a stranger’s spare room.
Talk to a human first
Not ready to book? Ask us anything about the apartments, the snow, the drive from Tbilisi, or which studio suits your group. We answer as ourselves, not from a script.
