The conversion layer for independent hotel operators
Rate Rocket sits on top of your existing booking engine and gives your direct channel the measurement and conversion discipline that the chains take for granted.
No replatform.
Live in days, not weeks.
Rate Rocket is live at global hostels, hybrid-hotel and independent brands across Europe, Latin America and Oceania.
What your booking flow is quietly losing
Your OTA share is higher than the chains'
Not because your product is worse, but because you do not have brand recall to drive discovery. The share that leaks to Booking and Expedia is compounded by the share that arrives via meta-search and never converts on your site.
The booking engine came with the PMS
It was chosen for operations, not for conversion. Nobody in the building is defending its performance because nobody in the building was hired to.
You have no measured baseline
You cannot walk into a board meeting and say what the direct channel is actually earning against what it should earn, because no one has produced an audited baseline.
What Rate Rocket does for independent hotels
Rate Rocket renders the full shopping journey on your own site, hands the basket to your booking engine at checkout, and measures the direct channel against a pre-deployment Baseline.
Your booking engine remains the merchant of record.
Your PMS stays where it is.
-
Rate Rocket renders on your own site, in your own brand, without redirecting to a third-party hosted page. The visual and tonal break that kills brand-forward conversion is removed.
-
The booking flow is rebuilt for the device your guests actually use. Short, clear, single-thumb navigation. Rate and availability visible without a page reload.
-
Rate ordering, upsell timing, mobile flow reconstruction and exit-intent handling that address the specific friction points independent hotel sites carry.
-
International traffic converts in the language and currency the guest expects, without a separate integration or a separate contract.
-
In line with eh European Accessibility Act of 2025, the booking flow Rate Rocket renders are built to WCAG 2.1 AA. The parts of the flow your existing booking engine renders remain that vendor's responsibility. The scope boundary is documented in the SaaS Agreement.
