Real-time price comparison

A price check pro consists of a price comparison widget that can be placed on a hotel's website and an OTA Prices reporting tool with which hoteliers can see exactly what booking sites do with the prices of hotels. The price comparison widget is a software tool that compares the prices of different online hotel accommodation providers in real-time. This comparison is shown in the booking engine of a hotel, so that the consumer can be assured that he is booking at the lowest price and is thereby convinced to make a booking. With the OTA Prices Reporting tool, hoteliers can see exactly when booking sites offer their hotel at a lower price compared to the hotel's own website and take action on it.

A big advantage of a price comparison widget is that it gives the consumer certainty that he can make a booking at a hotel at the lowest price. This increases the chance that the consumer will book directly with the hotel. A direct hotel booking means that no commission costs have to be paid to intermediaries such as online travel agencies, thus optimizing the hotel's revenue. A hotel can also choose to share this benefit with the consumer in the form of a free welcome drink, an upgrade or a discount. This creates a true win-win situation. With the OTA Prices reporting tool, hotels can be sure that they offer the best price on their own website and in this way realize as many direct bookings as possible.

An important feature of a price check pro is that it shows a price comparison between the price of an overnight stay on the hotel's own website and the prices of the same room, on the same date, at other providers such as online travel agencies. It is important that the other benefits of direct booking (except the price) can also be prominently displayed in the price check pro. Another important feature is that the OTA Pricing Reporting tool closely monitors the prices that booking sites charge for hotels and reports when booking sites charge lower prices compared to the direct price of the hotel.
