Olive House Apartments solve overbookings with SiteMinder and see direct revenue success

OPERATIONS

Tucked away on the coast of the Adriatic sea, the Olive House Apartments sit on the Croatian island of Pag. This property is situated in the sleepy town of Šimuni, a popular destination for campers and those looking for a quieter escape. Guest experience is at the forefront of all operations at the apartments and ensuring visitors have a seamless stay is of the highest priority. The channel manager gives the power over to the hotelier when it comes to maximising occupancy and enables a property to showcase their available rooms on over 300 online travel agents.

Why it matters: As all hoteliers know, guest experience is composed of many factors, and it can be difficult to keep track of them all. Owner, Jacqueline Walter, shares what this means to Olive House.

“A great guest experience means providing our guests with excellent quality accommodation and outstanding service while offering an authentic, Mediterranean ambience.”

Top 3 Core Objectives: Overbookings and incorrect pricing against competitors are two key components that could threaten guest experience and ultimately cost revenue for any property. Because of this, Olive House chose to adopt SiteMinder’s online booking engine and channel manager to prevent these issues from arising.

Increase efficiency: Hoteliers and staff don’t have time to be dealing with time consuming tasks, such as updating occupancy manually, changing pricing on each online travel agent, or researching rates of competitors. Olive House Apartments found in SiteMinder the right fit for their needs
