Challenges

  • No website bookings
  • Ineffective customer support
  • Not user-friendly booking engine by another provider 

Georgia Palace Hotel & Spa Kobuleti used to use a different booking engine and had almost no website bookings at all. The hotel relied on other points of sale, such as online travel agencies (OTAs). 

The previous user account was not intuitive and the hotel staff could hardly make any settings themselves. The hotel had to wait for its provider to assist which led to delays and frustration. This hindered the hotel’s ability to promote its offers effectively and run campaigns on the website.



We were using a different engine, which was quite difficult to use and work with. Also, if we needed some changes or additions in prices, rooms, etc., we had to wait for weeks for our provider to contact us and help. That made us totally lose hope for boosting our own website through marketing activities.

Solution

  • Exely Booking Engine. In a short time, we integrated intuitive Booking Engine. Our solution has numerous booking motivators and provides a smooth guest journey from the moment users open the website to their check-in at the hotel. A variety of pre-set rate plans and discounts allows the hotel’s staff to create unique promotions in a couple of clicks. 
  • Exely Support Team. Exely dedicated customer support is easily accessible. We prioritize timely assistance and ensure that Georgia Palace Hotel & Spa Kobuleti’s needs and issues are addressed promptly. This has improved the hotel's experience of working with Exely team. 

The first thing that made us consider the product was easy access to the customer support team. It was our pain when we contacted our previous provider. If we need something, we contact support and every time Exely has any new feature or update, the account manager provides us with the information and helps us implement all these updates.
