| A new line Auction servise has launched that enables customers to bid for rooms at hotels in Cyprus and Greece for less than the standard rate. The hotel Auction Rooms service is designed to capitalise on days when hotels have unoccupied rooms, such as Sundays or out-of-season dates, and need to fill space to avoid losing revenue.
Hotel Auction Rooms shows the standard rate for different types of rooms at featured hotels, and the customer offers the lower price they are willing to pay and can "haggle" with the hotelier.
By placing a bid on Hotel Auction Rooms, the customer can secure a better deal than if they booked directly with the hotel itself. On receipt of a bid from a Hotel Auction Rooms customer, the hotelier decides if the offer can be accepted. By treating each enquiry individually, hotels can choose to take bookings that will fill empty rooms.
The service is free to Hotel Auction Rooms customers and no registration or credit card details are required until a booking is confirmed. By using our service, customers can rest assured that the hotelier won’t be offended by an offer that’s lower than their standard rate.
In turn, the bidding system means the hotelier is confident of obtaining the best rate for a particular room on a ‘slower’ night |
