How it works

  1. 1

    What you pay

    Nights, average rate and channels: see in euros what goes to commission every month, and what 10% more direct bookings are worth.

  2. 2

    What costs you bookings

    Every morning we check your site and your Google profile for whatever sends guests to the OTAs.

  3. 3

    What to fix first

    The fixes with the most benefit for the least work, and what to do for each.

Features

Booking engine

Whether your site has a booking engine, whether it shows from the homepage, or whether the "Book" button leads to Booking.com.

Reasons to book direct

Best price, free cancellation, a perk: whether your site says so where guests see it.

Your Google profile

Whether the "Website" button on Google leads to your site or to an OTA.

Speed on a phone

A slow site sends the guest back to the OTA app, which is always fast.

Questions

Do you need access to my site?
No. We read your site as a guest would, and your public details on Google.
Where does the commission figure come from?
From the nights, average rate and channel shares you give us. Whatever you leave out we estimate for a typical hotel your size, and say so.
How often is it checked?
Every morning, and whenever you ask. We keep the history, so you can see the improvement.
