Guests can't see your own price when they compare
We looked up your room for the night of 30 October 2026 the way a guest would, on Google. Without your own price beside theirs, guests book through a booking site, and you pay it about 17% of the room.

- Trip.comR1 011
- ExpediaR1 331
- And 10 smaller sites (Skyscanner, za.bluepillow.com and Vio and others), from R670 to R1 334

Your website's health is 44 out of 100
We read 6 pages of pavilionhotel.co.za on 18 October 2026, the way Google and AI assistants do, and found 22 things to fix. These cost you the most guests:
- 1Google and AI assistants can't tell your website is a hotel's
Without your hotel's details in Google's own format, they can't show your rating, price and address beside your name.
What to do: Ask whoever built your website to add them. It takes about an hour.
- 2Google writes its own line about your hotel
Your pages give Google no summary to show under your name, so it picks any sentence it finds.
What to do: Write two sentences about your hotel for each main page: what it is, where, and why guests love it.
- 3Your website is heavy on a phone
Most guests look on their phone, often on mobile data, and leave a page that's slow to open.
What to do: Ask whoever looks after your website to compress your photos and files.
- No button to book on your home page, so a guest who wants to book direct has to hunt for one
- No WhatsApp link, where most guests in India ask first
- A phone number a guest can tap to call
- AI assistants can read your website
Two things to do this week
Each one comes from what we found above, and each wins back guests who book you direct.
- 1Show your own price on Google
Google lists the booking sites' prices for your room but not your website's, so a guest who finds you there can only book through them.
How: Ask your booking engine to connect you to Google's free booking links. Most do it at no cost, and your price then shows beside theirs.
- 2Google and AI assistants can't tell your website is a hotel's
Without your hotel's details in Google's own format, they can't show your rating, price and address beside your name.
How: Ask whoever built your website to add them. It takes about an hour.
With OneHorizyn you see every week whether each one worked, in guests and in rupees.
We've already done 3 of the 6 readings your first look is built from
Everything above came from what anyone can see: Google, Google Hotels, Google Maps, an AI assistant and your own website. Your hotel's own reading fills in the rest and turns each finding into a figure you can act on.
- Your price on booking sites12 sites for one night
- Google and Google Mapsrated 3.9 from 4,770 reviews
- Your website6 pages read, health 44 out of 100
- What AI assistants saynot read yet
- Your reviews, week by weekonly on your own hotel's reading
- Your price every night aheadonly on your own hotel's reading
Your own reading takes about half an hour, and nothing has to be connected to your systems.
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.

- Conferences and company travel
- Travel agents and tour operators

- Weddings and events
The planners and families booking weddings in Durban, 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 Durban every week.
- Travel agents and tour operators
The agents and operators selling Durban to guests abroad, who send the same rooms again and again once you're on their list.

Festivals, matches and conferences in and around Durban 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 Durban 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 R1 254 to R2 351 a month for each room
OneHorizyn finds where your hotel loses money and tells you what to fix first, every week:
- Booking sitesWhen they sell your room for less than your own website, so more guests book you direct
