What do you like most?

**5-star rating for HappyHotel – Our indispensable tool for intelligent hotel management** We've been working with **HappyHotel** for some time now and can say with complete conviction: This system has taken our daily work in revenue management and pricing to a new level. From the very beginning, implementation was straightforward, and the team provided us with competent support – fast, friendly, and solution-oriented. This is exactly what you'd want when getting started with a new software solution. The user interface is clearly structured and intuitive to use – even for team members without in-depth technical knowledge. Particularly noteworthy is the **dynamic pricing**, which automatically adapts to occupancy, demand, and market behavior. This has enabled us to make our rate strategy much more efficient and significantly improve both the average room rate and occupancy. The dashboard is also impressive: It provides all relevant key figures in real time and makes complex data understandable at a glance. This allows for faster, informed decisions – a real advantage in the often hectic day-to-day operations of a hotel. Another plus point is the easy integration with common PMS systems, which has saved us a lot of manual effort. Updates run smoothly, and support responds quickly and reliably to any questions or requests. For us, HappyHotel is more than just a technical tool – it's a true partner in the daily optimization of our operations. It helps us shape our pricing strategy not only efficiently but also with a future-oriented approach. The time saved and the insights gained flow directly into a better guest experience and greater profitability. **Conclusion:** Anyone who wants to work professionally and data-driven in the hotel business can hardly ignore HappyHotel. A clear recommendation for all hoteliers who want to combine revenue growth, clarity, and modern technology.

What do you dislike or think could be improved?

Nothing left to be desired: Better visualization of historical data: The display of trends over longer periods (e.g., 12 months or more) could be improved. More filtering and comparison options would enable deeper analyses. Mobile app or responsive interface for mobile phones Although the dashboard is easy to use, a dedicated mobile app or an even more mobile-friendly version for on-the-go use would be very helpful – especially for smaller hotels without 24/7 office staff.

Management from 50-74 room Extended Stay & Serviced Apartment in Saarbrucken (Germany)

Since implementing HappyHotel in our company, our way of working in revenue management has changed fundamentally – and in a completely positive way. What particularly impressed us from the start was the intuitive handling of the software. The user interface is clearly structured, logically organized, and allows even new team members to quickly find their way around. Particularly noteworthy is the autopilot, which automatically makes pricing decisions based on sound data analyses and intelligent algorithms – and does so with impressive precision. Of course, we retain control and can intervene manually, but the autopilot generally delivers excellent results while saving us valuable time. Another major advantage is the transparency and clarity offered by HappyHotel. The pick-up analysis, market comparisons, sales forecasts, and evaluations are not only comprehensive but also presented graphically so that they can be understood at a glance. This makes our daily work efficient and well-founded. By using HappyHotel, we were able to significantly optimize our pricing strategy, which is clearly reflected in the figures: Our sales have increased noticeably since the implementation. The data-based price control combined with the ease of use is a real game changer for us. HappyHotel's support is also particularly commendable. The employees are not only competent and friendly, but also respond quickly and solution-oriented. We also feel that we are always well looked after, even with individual concerns. In discussions with colleagues in the industry, we learned that other systems unfortunately often did not deliver the desired results. We are therefore all the more pleased to have found a solution in HappyHotel that not only delivers on its promises but has even exceeded our expectations. Our conclusion: HappyHotel is an extremely powerful, user-friendly, and time-saving tool that we can wholeheartedly recommend. Anyone who wants to elevate their pricing strategy to a professional level while conserving resources is in the best hands with this program.

It would be very helpful if you could adjust prices directly with just one click, without having to switch to multiple submenus or check boxes. This would speed up the workflow even further, especially for last-minute price changes or special events. I also have to say that I personally found the previous table view to be much clearer. The new view is modern, no question, but for me the previous layout was more intuitive and easier to use on a daily basis. Unfortunately, this is no longer available - which meant a bit of an adjustment for me. I would at least like to have the option to choose between different view modes to better support individual working methods.

Definitely recommend!

Commerical Director from 100 to 199 room Bed & Breakfast & Inn in Buenos Aires (Argentina)

The simple and intuitive interface makes daily operations across all five of our locations noticeably easier. The ability to quickly compare rates with competing hotels is especially valuable, helping us stay competitive in all markets. The extensive range of reports also leaves nothing to be desired, providing valuable insights across all 378 rooms. The uncomplicated collaboration makes working with the system genuinely enjoyable, and the interface is exceptionally well-designed and user-friendly. We also appreciate that the product is continuously evolving – and most importantly, it has helped us significantly increase our average daily rate. In addition to these benefits, the system’s speed and reliability truly stand out. Updates are implemented seamlessly, and customer support is always responsive, efficient, and knowledgeable. Training new team members is quicker than ever before, thanks to the logical structure and intuitive design. We’ve noticed improved internal workflows and more confident decision-making due to the clear data visualization and real-time analytics. Overall, it’s not just a tool, but a key part of our strategy that consistently drives performance and supports long-term growth. We couldn’t imagine operating without it now.

I can't think of anything to say about this right now; it's perfectly suited for our purposes. Communication with support could be a bit better. That said, that the overall experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The system delivers exactly what we need on a daily basis, from its straightforward functionality to its impressive stability. It integrates well with our existing tools, and its customizable features allow us to tailor it to our specific workflows. The user interface is clean and easy to navigate, which has minimized the learning curve for new team members. We’ve also appreciated the clear documentation and helpful onboarding materials, which made initial setup smooth and stress-free. One small area for improvement is response time from support—while the team is friendly and knowledgeable, there have been moments when quicker assistance would’ve made a real difference. That aside, the platform continues to exceed our expectations. It's a reliable, well-built solution that fits seamlessly into our daily operations, and we're confident it will continue to grow alongside our needs.
