Little Hotelier helps Uma Kalai to elevate efficiency and increase bookings.

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

Nestled in the tranquil village of Sayan, just minutes from the cultural heart of Ubud, Uma Kalai offers the perfect nature retreat for guests seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. Operating since 2022, this exclusive estate blends Balinese heritage with modern comforts, creating a calming and refreshing escape. With only six units, including three private pool villas and three suites, Uma Kalai delivers a serene and intimate experience where guests can enjoy a shared pool, Amma restaurant & bar, Santi spa, fitness centre, bicycles, laundry services, and complimentary transport. Uma Kalai, meaning “House of Art,” reflects the harmony between local art and world-class comfort, making it an ideal sanctuary for recharging the body and soul.

Why it matters: Early on, the team at Uma Kalai recognised that managing and selling rooms manually would be a daunting task. Therefore, they sought out a technology solution tailored to their specific needs.

After comparing several systems, they had difficulties finding a solution that fit their integration needs. Ultimately, they decided that the best choice for the property was Little Hotelier.

Multi-channel distribution management: Enable both OTA connectivity and direct reservations.
Increase revenue and visibility: Feature property on international metasearch platforms like Google Hotel Ads, Trivago, and TripAdvisor.
