Real time reporting and other exciting news

In a December 2020 study of independent hotels, 80 DAYS uncovered a significant shift in guest purchasing behaviour during the pandemic. Direct bookings rose 17% compared to 2019, making a hotel website’s performance more important than ever. 

We have been working hard over the last couple of months to bring some new features to our platform that will make it easier to benchmark and understand your performance within the context of the market and your competitors. 

INTRODUCING CALENDAR REPORTING

Real-time insight can make a noticeable difference in helping hotels identify under-performing areas within their direct channel. Users of Hotel Benchmark can now access even greater data using calendar reporting to view the last 7 days, last 30 days or last month as well as picking specific data periods. For users familiar with Hotel Benchmark reports, the data period and competitive sets can also be updated within the report, to gain faster and easier access to data.

RESILIENCE TO OUTLIERS

We have changed how we calculate your benchmark average to make sure that one hotel having a great week does not throw your benchmark off. For any metric, your hotel benchmark now shows the middle value from your competitor list to give you a better idea of where the market is at the moment.

ADDING APARTHOTELS

Responding to requests from apart-hotel managers and owners, Hotel Benchmark is now pleased to welcome Aparthotels to the community with a dedicated category. Apart-hotels can now benchmark themselves against other similar properties within this category as well as against hotels from our hotel categories. 

PREMIUM REPORTING

Upgrade to premium reporting and you can compare more metrics across your hotel’s website and digital marketing performance, as well as enjoy the ability to define your own competitive set. We have also significantly increased the amount of data available to you to full two years.

• Historical Data
  • 24 months of historical data including weekly, monthly, 12-month data as well as date ranges

  • Fully editable competitor sets to compare your hotel with similar properties in your location, with the same star rating and similar number of bedrooms. Visualising the highs and lows of your competitive set can help identify potential opportunities for growth
