FAQs of Existing Clients | Support – DJUBO

What should I do if there is a Rate Disparity across different meta-search engines such as TripAdvisor, Trivago and Kayak?

TripAdvisor and other such meta-search Engines are not the best place to check for Rate Disparity. The disparity may occur to due various reasons, most common among them being:

  • Rates might not be getting updated due to slow syncing between OTAs and meta-search engines.
  • TripAdvisor displays the rates of the least priced room category on an OTA. So, if you are not pushing your base category to one of the OTA, that OTA will show the higher priced room category on TripAdvisor.
  • OTAs may be pushing lower display rates on TripAdvisor and other meta-search sites, even though the correct rates are being pushed to OTAs and are visible on their own website. Therefore, it is advisable to open the OTA website in a separate tab on your browser and then search for your property.

If this is your major concern, then the best way to prevent price undercutting is to send a screenshot of the issue to the Market Manager of that OTA and issue a stern warning to them to stop indulging in such tactics for your property. Read more about dealing with miscreant OTAs here.

There is a Rate Disparity on the OTA’s mobile app. What should I do?

First, check the extranet of the concerned OTA to see whether the prices displayed there, match the ones being pushed through DJUBO. If the correct prices have been updated on the Extranet, then the issue is at the OTA’s end and can only be resolved by getting in touch with the Market Manager of the concerned OTA.

In case the OTA extranet is displaying wrong rates, get in touch with us at support@djubo.com.

The rates pushed through DJUBO and those visible on the extranet don’t match the final pricing on MakeMyTrip and Goibibo. Why?

DJUBO only pushes SELL RATES across connected OTAs. Price disparity in the final display rate arises due to different tax calculation methods being applied by OTAs on top of the SELL RATES. To resolve this and maintain price parity, you will have to contact the OTAs and request a uniform tax structure across each of them.

A voucher did not get auto-generated on DJUBO. Why did this happen?

This could be due to various reasons:

  1. The OTA extranet credentials shared with us have stopped working or expired. Try logging into your OTA extranet and if you are unable to, reset your OTA extranet password and share it with us at the earliest.
  2. The room category and meal plan mentioned in the OTA voucher were activated or modified without their creation on the DJUBO system. In this case, we request you to send us the details of the new room categories and meal plans to be mapped on DJUBO at the earliest.

It is important that you inform us before modifying or creating new room categories and/or meal plans on OTAs, as they will need to be mapped in the DJUBO system to allow proper functioning of the DJUBO channel manager.

The packages that I have given to the OTA are being incorrectly displayed. How do I resolve this?

Any packaged deals and promotions run through the OTA are discussed and agreed upon between the hotelier and the respective OTA. Therefore, all issues pertaining to them must be taken up with the market managers of the concerned OTAs.

My online promos are running on one OTA but other OTAs are complaining about rate disparity. What should I do?

Any packaged deals and promotions run through the OTA are discussed and agreed upon between the hotelier and the respective OTA. Therefore, all issues pertaining to them must be taken up with the market managers of the concerned OTAs.

My hotel shows rooms unavailable on the OTA website but I still have open rooms on DJUBO. Why is this?

In such a case you first need to check if the OTA is connected to the DJUBO channel manager. If it is connected then you need to check if the rates have been updated on the OTA extranet. If it is connected to DJUBO and the correct rates are being pushed to the OTA extranet, then the issue is at the end of the OTA and you need to get in touch with the market manager of the OTA to resolve the issue.

However, in case:

  1. The OTA in question is not connected with the DJUBO channel manager, then it may be possible that:
    • Integration with the said OTA may be pending. Check your email for the latest OTA connectivity report from us. If it shows an OTA pending connectivity, we request you to manage the OTA manually in the interim. You will receive a status update as soon as the integration is complete.
    • You may not have submitted details for the OTA. In this case, kindly send the requisite OTA details at support@djubo.com and request integration.
    • Integration for the OTA may not be supported at the time by DJUBO. In this case, you will be required to manage the OTA manually while we add support for the OTA to our channel manager.
  2. The OTA is connected to the DJUBO channel manager, but the rates are not being pushed to the OTA extranet, get in touch with us at support@djubo.com.
