StovitaWhat’s a good alternative to e-domizil for Swiss hosts?
What happened to e-domizil?
e-domizil AG merged with Interhome (HHD AG). Both belong to the HomeToGo Group. Hosts are now listed under atraveo by Interhome, while the e-domizil portal remains available to guests as a booking channel. According to Interhome, the host model and terms remain the same. So if you’re looking for an alternative, you’re looking for an alternative to an agent charging 17.5% plus VAT.
What’s atraveo by Interhome good for?
- Reach: Interhome markets your property through its sales network on many booking portals.
- Get paid early: Payment is usually made 7 days before arrival, or 7 days after the first arrival.
- Less risk: Interhome is the tour operator and the guest’s contractual partner, and handles payments and debt collection.
- Insurance: Damage up to EUR/CHF 3'000 per booking and EUR/CHF 20'000 per property per year, with no excess.
- No fixed costs: You only pay when someone books through Interhome. You also get 20% off your own Interhome holidays.
How much does e-domizil cost you in CHF?
Example in Grindelwald: 4 nights at CHF 180 plus CHF 120 for cleaning comes to CHF 840. With 8.1% VAT on the commission, you pay 18.92%, or CHF 158.91 per stay. It’s unclear whether VAT is charged this way or deducted at 3.8% from the rental price. In that case, it would be 21.3%.
| Channel for this CHF 4'620 | Annual costs | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| atraveo by Interhome, 18.92% | CHF 874 | CHF 3'746 |
| Airbnb since 13 October 2026, 16.76% | CHF 774 | CHF 3'846 |
| Booking.com, 15% + 1.6% Payments | CHF 767 | CHF 3'853 |
| Direct booking with QR invoice | CHF 0 | CHF 4'620 |
This calculation assumes you’d fill the same nights another way. If atraveo brings you guests you wouldn’t otherwise get, CHF 874 for CHF 4'620 in revenue is a fair price.
How is Stovita different from e-domizil?

What alternatives are there to e-domizil?
- Airbnb and Booking.com directly: 16.76% and 13.6 to 16.6%; more work with guests, your own cancellation rules. See platform comparison.
- Tourist office: In Lenzerheide, 10% plus VAT on the rental price for standard channels. See tourist office.
- Your own booking website: 0% commission; you find the guests yourself, especially repeat guests.
- Combine them: Keep atraveo for new guests and take repeat guests directly. Stovita keeps all your calendars in sync.
How can you switch without losing bookings?
- Sign up for Stovita and add the calendar link from atraveo by Interhome. Use the new Interhome export link, not the old e-domizil link.
- Connect Airbnb, Booking.com and your booking website so that a booking blocks availability everywhere.
- Review how much revenue atraveo brings in over one season.
- Decide by 30 November whether to cancel for the following year. Confirmed bookings remain binding after that. Find details under cancelling atraveo.
Keep e-domizil if it brings you guests, and take repeat guests directly: Stovita connects calendars using a calendar link and charges 0% commission. Registration is free.
