See what cheaper booking sites cost you, a day and a month

When a booking site sells your rooms for less than your own website, some guests who would have booked with you book there instead, and you pay that site a commission on each booking. OneHorizyn puts that in money: one figure a day and one a month, with the sum under it, so you can see how it was reached. It is worked from your own numbers once you confirm them in Settings, and until then from figures filled in for you, which it says.

How it grows your revenue

It puts a figure in your own currency on what booking sites selling below your website cost you, so the problem worth the most is the one you fix first.

What you see

  • A day, and a month

    What booking sites selling below your website cost you, spread over every night read, and the same for a month of thirty such days.

  • The sum, written out

    The bookings your website would take on a night, times the share who book the cheaper site instead, times the commission you pay on each: what you lose on a night a site is cheaper.

  • Counted once a night

    When two sites are below your website on the same night, that night's guests are lost once, to the cheapest of them, not twice.

  • Never more than the sites bring

    What is lost on a night is held to what all the booking sites bring you in a night, and the card says when it has been.

  • Your numbers, or said not to be

    Your rooms, your usual price, how full you are, the share you sell on your website and on booking sites, and the commission you pay. Until you confirm them, the figures filled in for you are used, and the card says so.

  • No room count, no money

    The number of rooms you sell is never guessed. Without it no money is shown: the card says which site is most often cheaper, and by how much, and asks for the count in Settings.

  • What each site costs

    Once your numbers are confirmed, the main booking sites below your website also show, in their own rows, what each costs you a month.

Money lost to booking sites

How it works

  1. 1

    Count the nights

    From the latest prices, the nights on which a booking site was below your website, each counted against the cheapest site that night.

  2. 2

    Work out the bookings

    The bookings your website takes on a night come from your rooms, how full you are and your website's share. On a night a site is cheaper, three in four of the guests who would have booked with you are taken to book it instead.

  3. 3

    Put it in money

    Those bookings times the commission on one, which is your usual price times the commission you pay, for each night a site was cheaper. Spread over every night read, that is the day; thirty such days, the month.

Questions

Questions hotels ask

What does the figure count?

Only the commission you pay on bookings that would have come to your own website and went to the cheaper booking site instead. The lower price itself, on bookings the sites bring anyway, isn't counted: prices don't show whether you or the site pays for that discount.

Do I have to confirm my numbers first?

No. Until you do, the figure is worked from figures filled in for you: those worked out when your hotel was set up, your usual price read from your own website, and usual figures for a hotel like yours. The card says so and links to Settings, where you check them and save them as yours.

Why a day and a month?

A day is the loss over the nights read, spread across all of them, including the nights no site was cheaper. A month is thirty such days, so the figure means the same however many nights were read.

Does it work for hostels?

Yes. A hostel's prices are read per bed for one guest, and the loss is worked from the beds it sells.
