Since January 2015 RoomAuction.com shows great results with its rapid growth in the online travel industry. Website started only with 250 hotels, mainly UK based and now it boosted up to 55,000 hotels worldwide in 170 countries. That shows clearly that hotels are open for private rate negotiations and could be really flexible with prices in a certain time. Hotels realize that it could be beneficial to keep the room occupied even if discounted, rather than let a property to lose money leaving it unsold.

Bolesław Drapella, CEO of RoomAuction.com, comments: “Having talked to many hotel managers we found out that our concept can be really helpful for most of the hotels. Analyzing the data we got from our survey we can clarify what makes hotels unsatisfied while working with online travel agencies. First of all they are all high commission-based services. Secondly, it requires room allocation and constant updates of the hotel's profile.”

Taking into consideration all these unpleasant features RoomAuction.com has created the unique product that makes the booking process simple and cost effective. Hotels sell more rooms in a flexible way increasing their yield and their guests are getting great deals often better than publicly available on major OTA's. Private negotiations are not included in the rates parity agreements, so that is the only way hotels can sell their rooms cheaper not failing to comply with the Best Rates Guarantees.

From the customers point of view, until now, many simply people had no knowledge, that there is a possibility to haggle over the room rate. RoomAuction.com found the way to ask for a discount and don't feel embarrassed. Since now customers can set their price for the specific hotel and not just agree on what was proposed.

RoomAuction.com connects traveller and hotelier in an unique way, helping them to find the best rate acceptable by both sides. That is a true win-win situation and a cure for many of current tensions on the line between hotels, travellers and OTA's
