RoomAuction.com: Growing From 250 To 55,000 Hotels In 5 Months

RoomAuction.com Ltd

RoomAuction.com is a smart, innovative and very simple platform that allows travellers to haggle with hotels over their room rates. Over 15,000 people already used the system. They offered to pay hotels $4,000,000 in hard cash. This is a great way of getting a great deal on a hotel room.

How does it work? As a traveller, you pick a hotel listed with 'bid now' feature on RoomAuction.com and seeing hotel's rack rate, you offer how much of it you are prepared to pay. That bid and other details like arrival date and number of nights are sent to the hotel. Hotel makes a decision whether to accept or decline your bid.

Bolesław Drapella, CEO of RoomAuction.com, when asked, why hotels go for that, says: “Every hotelier knows, that a room unsold for that night is lost forever. It is far better to have a guest at a slightly discounted rate than not to have them at all”.

That simple truth about hospitality business makes RoomAuction.com so popular nowadays. Website had only 250 hotels in January this year, where right now there are over 55,000 hotels live from close to 170 countries. Whereas in certain countries bidding on services or products is considered a niche, in others, like many Arab countries, this is the only way to do business. Good example is Morocco (http://roomauction.com/morocco), where over 250 hotels are using RoomAuction.com, many of them are accepting booking offers from their potential guests.
