Dynamic Pricing

Dynamic Pricing

Manage → Price advice — data-driven price adjustments based on nearby events and competitor prices.

Good to know: Price advice is still in beta and is being rolled out gradually. Don't see the page in your menu? Then it hasn't been enabled for your account yet.

The Price advice dashboard with events and competitor prices

The page has three tabs: Calendar, Sources and Competitors.

Calendar

The calendar shows everything that influences your price, per day:

  • Your direct price
  • Your Booking.com price
  • Nearby event (with suggestion)
  • Competitor range (low / median / high)
  • Suggested mark-up

Like a suggestion? Days with a price suggestion have an "Apply to all platforms" button — it pushes the suggested price in one click (requires an active platform connection).

You can also add events yourself: name, date(s), location, category, expected number of visitors and impact (low/medium/high). Handy for local events the scraper doesn't know. Manually added events are never overwritten by the scraper.

Sources (event scraper)

Every day at 06:00 BedFlow scrapes your event sources and detects major events in the region (festivals, concerts, fairs). You manage them in the Sources tab:

  • Each source is a web page that is scraped automatically. The scraper reads the page, detects dates and event names and stores them as events.
  • Scrape now — run a source (or all sources) immediately, without waiting for the nightly run.
  • Preview — shows what the scraper extracts from a page before you save it.
  • Sources with 0 future events deserve a check: the website may have changed or next year's dates may not be online yet.
  • Per source: active/inactive toggle, edit, delete and a detail view with scrape logs.

Competitors (competitor scraper)

Every day at 06:30 BedFlow scrapes prices from comparable accommodations in the area on Booking.com, up to 30 days ahead. See how you are positioned — more expensive, cheaper, the same. In the Competitors tab:

  • Add competitors yourself, set them active/inactive or delete them.
  • View prices as a table or a chart (price trend per competitor).
  • Scrape now — starts a scrape with a progress indicator, hotel by hotel. Recently scraped hotels are skipped.
  • Click a competitor for a detail view with price history and scrape logs.

Platform rate sync

Four times a day the current rate plans from Booking/Expedia are pulled in so you know what price they are showing (including their own surcharges).

Applying suggestions

This data is informational. You make structural adjustments via Rates → Rate profiles (new holiday/event rule) or via manual overrides in the Room overview. For a single day the "Apply to all platforms" button in the calendar works too.
