Direct Booking Growth
“The website shows no live rates”
Most bookings come through OTAs that charge high commissions, while the hotel website is slow, unclear or cannot take bookings.
The proposed work
- Audit the website and booking engine experience
- Add rate parity, direct-booking benefits and clear policies
Designed to help: Lower commission costs per booking
Indicative timing: 4–6 weeks, then monthly optimisation.
OTA Listing Optimisation
“Guests say the rooms look different from photos”
Listings have outdated photos, wrong amenities and mismatched descriptions, so the hotel ranks lower and guests are disappointed on arrival.
The proposed work
- Audit every OTA listing for accuracy
- Refresh photos, descriptions and amenities
Designed to help: Better listing visibility and conversion
Indicative timing: 3–4 weeks.
Guest Communication Journey
“Frequent calls asking for directions and timings”
Guests receive a booking confirmation and nothing else. They call for directions, wait at check-in and leave without being asked for feedback.
The proposed work
- Map the guest journey from booking to post-stay
- Create pre-arrival, in-stay and post-stay messages
Designed to help: Additional revenue from pre-arrival offers
Indicative timing: 3–4 weeks.
