Frequently asked questions
Can OTABot track dorm beds and private rooms separately?+
OTABot tracks pricing per Booking.com or Airbnb URL. If a competitor lists dorm beds and private rooms as separate URLs, you can monitor each independently. Bookings shown on a single listing reflect the lowest available rate that night.
How many hostel competitors should I track?+
For most hostel cities, 5–10 close competitors covers the segment well. Travelers shop a handful of options on price; tracking that exact set gives you the data you need without overwhelming the dashboard.
Why does cross-channel tracking matter for hostels?+
Many guests now compare hostel-style listings on Airbnb against traditional Booking.com hostel inventory. Mixing both in one dashboard shows you what your real competitive set is charging, not just the Booking.com slice.
Is there a plan for very small hostels?+
Yes — the free plan covers 2 competitors with weekly scans. Essential at €9/month adds 5 competitors and scans every 3 days. You can scale up only as your operation grows.
