"Before we started using happyhotel, I manually entered prices into our PMS using self-made Excel sheets. We didn’t have a flexible pricing system and worked with seasonal tables, often adjusting prices spontaneously based on past experience or changing guest behavior. happyhotel now calculates our prices using many exciting factors, giving us a solid foundation to decide on the optimal price for each day"
