Automation is the Key to Collaboration Between Bali Garden Beach Resort & SiteMinder

This four-star hotel in Kuta, Bali, has been operating for more than 30 years since 1988. Bali Garden Beach Resort has a Balinese-architecture concept and is facilitated with five restaurants, three swimming pools, a tour desk, and a spa. With a total of 180 rooms, the hotel established its existence among local & international guests by providing offline and online reservations.

Why it matters: In the digital age managing hotels has a new set of challenges, especially the need to stay alert with room availability & price adjustment while managing online travel agents (OTA).

Things get harder when everything needs to be done manually, and the chance of overbooking is high. Yet Bali Garden Beach Resort has already said goodbye to those.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Find a distribution management solution that will be able to set the average room rate (ARR) easily. SiteMinder also provides tools that help hotels to execute automatic rate structures.

Instant updates to availability: Kadek admits another reason why he chose SiteMinder is that many other systems have a reduced ability to update availability instantly when the allotment runs out.
Manage room rates: Bali Garden was looking for a seamless solution to manage their room rates across different OTAs
Reduce overbooking: Knowing the high turnover of rooms in our hotel, this is such an important feature to avoid overbooking
