Direct Rate One growth stack for hotels that want more direct bookings and fewer moving parts.
Direct Rate gives hotels one partner for booking engine, website, metasearch, GDS connectivity, and performance marketing. It bundles the full direct-booking operating layer into one offer so hotels avoid vendor sprawl and KloudBoy aligns revenue with bookings.
Visual market brief
A fast way to understand the opportunity shape.
Hotels pay through booking success instead of heavy setup costs.
A single operator replaces multiple fragmented vendors.
Revenue is aligned to conversions, not just setup deliverables.
The problem it solves
Hotels need direct booking capability, but assembling a website, engine, campaign layer, GDS connections, and metasearch presence across multiple vendors is expensive and fragmented.
Hotels often juggle separate partners for website, booking engine, SEO, paid media, metasearch, and GDS.
Performance data gets split across vendors, making optimization slower and more political.
Upfront agency and software costs block smaller properties from building a serious direct strategy.
How the product changes the game
Direct Rate puts every part of the direct booking stack under one roof so hotels can move faster, see clearer performance signals, and reduce operational overhead.
A bundled direct-booking system with one accountable operator.
Commission-first economics lower adoption friction for independent and mid-market hotels.
Campaign, channel, and booking data can be interpreted as one operating system instead of scattered dashboards.
