FOR COMMERCIAL PROVIDERS

THE ALTERNATIVE
HOBIDD is not a typical booking platform or price comparison site. Instead, we provide commercial Providers with an interactive marketing solution designed to boost occupancy during low-demand periods and position package offers in a compelling, promotional way.
Unlike conventional platforms, HOBIDD puts the focus on direct communication. There are no middlemen, no booking commissions, and no rigid rules about when or at what price your offers must be available. You decide at all times whether and under which conditions a booking takes place.
CHAT
On HOBIDD, Providers are always in direct contact with potential guests.
To make communication as smooth and straightforward as possible, HOBIDD offers an integrated chat feature. This allows users to clarify questions, special requests or stay details in advance quickly and without complications. Sending and receiving photos through the chat is also fully supported.
The chat function is exclusively available to registered users.
THREE OPTIONS
To increase the share of direct bookings during low-demand periods, HOBIDD offers interested users three ways to respond to listed offers
PRICE SUGGESTIONS, PRICE REQUESTS AND BOOK NOW.
When receiving PRICE SUGGESTIONS, you as the Provider decide whether to accept the proposal or submit a counteroffer. By setting individual price thresholds for your offers, you control whether your focus is on increasing visibility for your website or on generating short-term bookings through targeted promotions.
PRICE REQUESTS without a specific travel date also give you the flexibility to suggest time periods that match your current booking situation ideal for filling seasonal gaps or promoting newly available dates.
For guests who prefer to book without prior interaction, the BOOK NOW option is available. In this case, the stay is booked at the published standard rate, with no negotiation or discounts.
