Some ideas:

1. Charge the hotel for each lead generated After the initial search, ask for the user email and phone number. Sell this number to the hotels. But probably your users will not like that...

2. How much do you make on commissions (on %)? Lets say a hotel room would cost $1000 and you make 10% on commissions. Then, instead of quoting the price as $1000, you show the price as $990. You book the room for $900 (1000 minus your commission) and make $90 on commissions (instead of $100) On your site you can charge for accommodations only and all other expenses (drinks, food, etc) would be paid on the hotel.

Thanks for the suggestions, I like the idea of a perceived discount offer, that's something we'll look into implementing.
