Your website

Your website's health is 62 out of 100

We read 1 page of thepalacehotelkk.com on 18 October 2026, the way Google and AI assistants do, and found 6 things to fix. This costs you the most guests:

  1. 1
    Browsers mark your website as not secure

    Guests see a warning beside your address, and many leave before they book.

    What to do: Ask your web host to switch on a free security certificate and send every visit to it. Most do it in a day.

  • AI assistants can read your website
What to do this week

Two things to do this week

Each one comes from what we found above, and each wins back guests who book you direct.

  1. 1
    Keep your website the cheapest place to book

    None of the main booking sites asks less than your website today. One rate change on any of them undoes it.

    How: Check your price on each of them every week, and on your busy dates every day.

  2. 2
    Browsers mark your website as not secure

    Guests see a warning beside your address, and many leave before they book.

    How: Ask your web host to switch on a free security certificate and send every visit to it. Most do it in a day.

With OneHorizyn you see every week whether each one worked, in guests and in rupees.

What this page doesn't cover at all
The guests who never come through a booking site

There is no commission on any of these, and this page says nothing about them. We haven't looked at any of them for you.

  • Weddings and events
  • Conferences and company travel
  • Travel agents and tour operators
  • Events that publish a list of hotels
  • The nights your town fills up
  • What your competitors charge, nightly

  • Weddings and events

    The planners and families booking weddings in Kota Kinabalu, who fill your rooms for three nights at a time and never touch a booking site.

  • Conferences and company travel

    The companies running meetings and incentive trips near you, and the firms whose staff already stay in Kota Kinabalu every week.

  • Travel agents and tour operators

    The agents and operators selling Kota Kinabalu to guests abroad, who send the same rooms again and again once you're on their list.

  • Events that publish a list of hotels

    Festivals, matches and conferences in and around Kota Kinabalu that name hotels to stay at. Being on that list costs nothing, and most hotels never ask.

  • The nights your town fills up

    Which dates Kota Kinabalu runs out of rooms months ahead, so you price them before your competitors do, rather than after.

  • What your competitors charge, nightly

    Their price for every night ahead, not the one night on this page, so you know which nights you are leaving money on.

Stop losing RM283 to RM530 a month for each room

OneHorizyn finds where your hotel loses money and tells you what to fix first, every week:

  • Booking sites
    When they sell your room for less than your own website, so more guests book you direct
  • Your competitors
    Their prices in Kota Kinabalu for the nights ahead, so you price every night right
  • Google and AI
    What they tell guests about you, and how to get recommended first
