According to recent industry reports, hotels that optimize their direct booking strategy can see up to 20 % higher profit margins per reservation compared to third-party channels.
For independent hotels and growing brands alike, the challenge is the same: how do you meet modern guest expectations while staying focused on revenue?
Traveleir Booking is designed to help you do exactly that. It's not just about getting more bookings; it's about building smarter, more profitable ones.
In the sections ahead, we’ll explore what today’s travelers are looking for and how Traveleir helps your hotel turn those needs into measurable results.
Today’s guests expect more than just a place to sleep, they expect flexibility, personalization, and a sense of connection. They want the booking experience to feel as thoughtful as the stay itself.
Let’s break down what those expectations really look like and how meeting them can directly impact your revenue.
Guests often book short stays by default but that doesn’t mean they want to leave so soon. With the right incentive, an extra night is an easy sell.
A small discount, free breakfast, room upgrade, or even a local experience can tip the decision. These gestures don’t cost much but can lead to higher overall spend.
You can also encourage longer stays by letting guests book well in advance, even a year ahead. It’s a simple way to turn one-time guests into regulars who stay longer and spend more.
Travel plans change and guests want to know they won’t lose money if theirs do. In fact, around 1 in 3 travelers filter for refundable stays only. If your hotel doesn’t offer flexible options, you may not even show up in their search.
Many properties are responding by easing cancellation policies or removing fees altogether. It builds trust and can help prevent cancellations from turning into lost revenue.
If your hotel already offers flexibility, make sure it’s visible. Promoting refundable options clearly can be the deciding factor between your property and the one down the street.
Guests start imagining their stay long before they arrive. Clear, detailed photos of rooms, bathrooms, amenities, and dining build confidence, 72% say room photos matter most.
About 70% are willing to pay extra for perks like spa treatments, fast Wi-Fi, or a heated pool. Technology like contactless check-in and streaming services is now expected by nearly 80% of travelers.
Showcasing these features helps guests feel valued and turns their interest into bookings.
More than 75 % of travelers say personalised experiences make or break their trips. Many willingly share personal information to help create stays that fit their needs.
Today’s travelers expect hotels to understand their unique preferences and connect them meaningfully to people and places. Personalization shapes how guests choose where to stay and how they feel about their trip.
Travelers value technology for ease but say human connection makes their trips memorable. Over 90% of US travelers and nearly 90% in the UK prefer personal help during booking.
Technology handles routine tasks like check-in, letting hotel staff focus on guest care. Hotels use tools to connect with guests before and after their stay, making the experience personal and welcoming.
Blending smart tech with genuine human support helps guests feel truly cared for.
Many travelers see holiday costs as a barrier, over 70% of US millennials say price influences their decisions, followed by 58% of Gen Xers and nearly half of baby boomers.
To still enjoy their trips, these guests plan to mix luxury and budget options within the same stay. They might splurge on a suite one night and choose a budget room the next.
Offering flexible room types and pricing lets you meet these needs, attract a wider audience, and keep more rooms occupied.
Meeting guest expectations means hotels can attract more direct bookings and increase revenue. Here’s how key features of Traveleir Booking help hotels deliver exactly what guests want, while supporting better business outcomes.
Guests look for deals that match their specific travel plans, whether it’s a weekend getaway, a corporate trip, or a long stay.
Our direct booking engine offers flexible rate plans like promotions, packages, and corporate discounts.
Managing these plans efficiently means your hotel can respond quickly to demand and turn browsing into confirmed bookings.
Guests want simple, secure payment options they can trust. Integrating multiple payment gateways lets hotels accept a variety of payment methods safely and without hassle. It reduces booking friction and keeps more guests completing their reservations directly.
Travelers book from around the world and prefer to pay in their own currency. Supporting multiple currencies makes the booking process smoother and builds confidence, encouraging guests to book directly rather than through third-party sites.
Guests appreciate opportunities to enhance their stay with upgrades or extras, like late checkout or spa services. Offering upsells and add-ons during booking not only improves the guest experience but also increases the value of each reservation.
Combining rooms with local experiences, meals, or tours creates attractive packages for guests. These bundles simplify planning for travelers and encourage longer stays and higher spending.
For hotels managing multiple properties, having one platform to control pricing, availability, and bookings keeps operations smooth. The centralization helps ensure accuracy and saves time, so hotels can focus on delivering great guest experiences.
Guests expect up-to-date information. Showing real-time availability and pricing prevents double bookings and pricing errors, building trust and helping guests book confidently.
