20–30% higher average room rate at a nine-room guesthouse

Indium City Panzió is a nine-room guesthouse near Eger’s city centre. Péter Antal and his wife, Eszter, decided to enter hospitality after a trip together and purchased the guesthouse a few months later. Péter manages day-to-day operations, while Eszter focuses on the details that make the guest experience more personal. Péter previously set rates manually, usually only for the weeks ahead, adjusting them by 5–10% as occupancy changed.

The starting point

Péter previously adjusted the coming weeks’ rates by hand as occupancy changed. Even at a nine-room guesthouse, these regular updates took time away from day-to-day operations.

How pricing changed

The RoomRaiser team configured the system together with the owners, leaving little setup work for them. Pricing now runs largely automatically, while Péter can still review competitor offers and change rates whenever he sees a reason to intervene. He also values the clear, detailed information in the platform and the team’s quick responses to questions and requests.

Results reported by the owner

After introducing RoomRaiser, Péter reports that the guesthouse’s average room rate increased by approximately 20–30%, based on Booking.com data. He also reports higher revenue and less time spent on daily pricing.

Customer view

“Don’t hesitate. Go for it.”

The practical takeaway

Indium shows how a nine-room guesthouse can reduce manual rate updates while its owner retains a view of competitor offers and control over changes. The system supports pricing decisions without removing the owner’s ability to intervene.
