Pricing on autopilot

Maria Martinkova manages Sóller Plaza, a boutique hotel on Plaça de la Constitució, right in the heart of Sóller, Mallorca. Her days are spent with guests, staff and the hundred small jobs that keep a hotel running.

In autumn 2023, Sóller Plaza started a free trial of Pricepoint, connected to its Cloudbeds PMS. Three years on, Pricepoint still sets every rate, and Maria no longer checks them.

Market trends, not copycat pricing

When Maria compared revenue management systems, one difference stood out. Other systems she looked at set rates by tracking what nearby hotels were charging. Pricepoint takes a different approach.

Instead of mirroring the competition, Pricepoint's AI reads market demand, including searches, traffic and local events, alongside the hotel's own booking history, and updates room prices in real time.

“You don't copy your competitors. You do your own job on the market trends. So I'm happy also knowing that we are in good hands.” — Maria Martinkova, Manager, Sóller Plaza

A strong first month

The results showed up during the trial. Maria estimated that revenue rose by more than 20% in Sóller Plaza's first month on Pricepoint. Pricepoint's data puts it even higher: in November 2023, the main month of the trial, room revenue was 36.8% higher than in November 2022, rising from €29,995 to €41,033. The hotel sold 29.3% more room nights, and its average rate rose 5.8%.

For Maria, it confirmed what she'd suspected: no person could weigh as many data points behind every rate change.

“Absolutely much better job than I could ever do. I'm very, very clear about it.” — Maria Martinkova

‍

Set it and forget it

Today, Pricepoint runs quietly in the background. Rates flow straight into Cloudbeds, and Maria sees them in her booking dashboard like any other part of the day.

Asked how often she checks her pricing, Maria doesn't hesitate.

“Zero. I don't see that there is anything wrong, so I don't really check it at all. Because I see it's working.” — Maria Martinkova

Instead of watching rates, she watches results.

“I'm more relaxed with the pricing and revenue because I'm not doing anything basically. Just checking that, okay, we are there, the hotel is doing well, the occupancy is there, the revenue is there, so perfect.” — Maria Martinkova

More time for guests

For a small boutique hotel, that freed-up time matters. Without Pricepoint, managing rates properly would mean another hire.

“My time I'm dedicating more talking to people, fixing things that get broken — otherwise I would have to get somebody else.” — Maria Martinkova

Three years on

Sóller Plaza has been a Pricepoint customer since November 2023, and the results have built year after year.

  • Year 1 (Nov 2023 – Oct 2024): room revenue +28.9% vs the year before Pricepoint, with average rate up 22.8%, from €114 to €140, and 5.0% more room nights.
  • Year 2 (Nov 2024 – Oct 2025): revenue held level (−2.2%), with the average rate rising again to €143.
  • Year 3 (Nov 2025 – Oct 2026): revenue +4.0%, with the average rate up 12.3% to €161.

Compared with the year before Pricepoint, Sóller Plaza now earns 31.2% more room revenue from 6.9% fewer room nights, with an average rate 40.9% higher. More revenue from fewer guests means more income for the same work.
