How do clients search on Booking.com?
Hotel operators who are able to think like guests are more successful. Sometimes it’s difficult to find an intersection between your own interests, which is the highest possible income, and the client’s intention of finding the best and cheapest accommodations in as interesting a location as possible.

Perhaps every owner of an accommodation facility dreams of a twelve-month tourist season. Not everyone can succeed at realizing this dream, but one can still find ways to “extend” the tourist season.

How to react to negative a review
The main purpose of reviews is to give other potential customers an authentic and unbiased opinion of your facility.

In the hotel business, there is a theory, often put into practice, that says general price reductions will result in higher occupancy, and thus higher profits. Written down like this in one sentence, it sounds like a contradiction. So let’s look at this myth in detail and see why this is the case.
