Good to know

Frequently asked questions.

How is the potential calculated?

Our model combines your inputs with the official figures for your region and values additional nights cautiously. It never goes beyond the room nights you have available. We walk you through the detailed calculation in the Revenue Check.

Where does the estimated room rate come from?

From the experimental FSO statistic HESTA-Mon 2025, matched to your region and hotel type. The value may include breakfast. Your own figure is always more accurate.

Are the results guaranteed?

The figures are scenario estimates. The additional nights your hotel can actually sell depend on demand, season, prices and the rooms available.

What if I do not have a website?

You can use the calculator with or without an online presence. A simple enquiry page and a well maintained Google Business Profile are possible topics for your Revenue Check.

How much would it cost to implement?

The calculator and initial Revenue Check are free. Any investment plan depends on your hotel and sets out the advertising budget, management fees and one off costs separately.

What data is saved?

The calculation runs in your browser. If you request a Revenue Check, we save your contact details and the hotel and scenario information so we can respond to your request.
