How hotel websites can improve the booking experience

An interesting article at Econsultancy says that “although 72% of people would book directly with hotel sites if the price is right, the user experience on offer is variable”.

The article on the Econsultancy Blog throws light on the booking experience on many hotel websites and suggests that as many as 94% of people have abandoned booking online because the website provides a poor booking experience.

The full article provides some insight but the key drivers for successful direct bookings on a hotel website are:

  • Good user experience on the website
  • Good photography and room shots
  • Showing lots of date options during the booking phase
  • Displaying customer reviews
  • Making it work on mobile devices
