Hello.
I recently started using Tripadvisors Tripconnect.
Please see my attachments for a visual description.
A quick summary:
Bidding for bookings:
All channels put their cheapest price for a DOUBLEROOM for the dates that the client choose.
We the hotels/B&B can join Tripconnect and battle against the OTA to win the bids.
Hostelworld and Booking have discovered a formula for always showing the lowest price.
They pick either a doubleroom, or use 2 beds in a shared dorm if that price is cheaper than a doubleroom (which is pretty much always the case).
1.
Our establishment Pension Goiko on Tripadvisor is seems like we are more expensive than booking and hostelworld, becuase our price is for a DOUBLEROOM, where as hostelworld and Booking show the price for 2 beds in a DORM.
It would be great if Wubook could add this feature to TRIPCONNECT.
Always show the cheapest price for 2 people, not necessarily a DOUBLEROOM.
2.
Booking and Hostelworld are very quick, and have come up with a new programming benefit above our personal booking engine.
THEY EXCLUDE TAXES FROM THE PRICE.
Spain have 10% tax so a room that cost 40€ will show up as 36€ for Booking at Tripconnect.
Can we please create our response to this as well?
I have attached a picture showing the situation.
Thanks!
Anders
