How it works
Turn searches into direct bookings
Appearing on a metasearch engine is only part of the process. When travellers decide to book, they need to find a simple and effective booking experience.
That is why AlojaSuite connects the metasearch engines to your Booking Engine, making it easy for users to go from comparing options to booking directly on your hotel's website.
This lets you work the whole process:
1
Metasearch
The traveller compares accommodation, prices and booking conditions — and finds your hotel.
2
Visit to your website
The metasearch engine sends the user directly to your hotel's website.
3
Booking Engine
The guest finds a simple and effective booking experience to complete their booking.
4
Direct booking
The booking is completed on your hotel's website, reducing your dependence on intermediaries.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about hotel metasearch
What is a hotel metasearch engine?
A hotel metasearch engine is a platform that lets travellers compare different accommodation, prices and booking options. These channels can send the user directly to the hotel's website to complete their booking.
What are the benefits of being on metasearch?
Metasearch engines increase the hotel's visibility among travellers who are already looking for accommodation. They can also generate qualified traffic to the property's website and help increase direct bookings.
Do metasearch engines help increase direct sales?
Yes. One of their main advantages is that they can send the user directly to the hotel's website. If the property has an optimised booking engine, travellers can complete their booking there without going through an OTA.
Do I need a booking engine to appear on metasearch?
To use metasearch as a direct sales channel, you need a system that connects your property's rates and availability to these platforms. AlojaSuite includes this functionality with its Booking Engine.
What is the difference between a metasearch engine and an OTA?
An OTA, as an online travel agency, sells the hotel's rooms directly and manages the booking. A metasearch engine lets users compare different options and can send them to the hotel's website or to an OTA to complete the booking.
