Wonder Where To Stay Increases ADRs by 22% and Occupancy Rate by 94% After Switching to Beyond
Wonder Where to Stay is located in Italy and offers a wide range of apartments for visitors looking to experience a unique side of Rome and other cities in Italy such as Sicily, Venice, and Naples. It was founded in 2012 and their aim is to provide a personalized and authentic experience for guests, helping them to explore and enjoy the beauty of Italy.
"We chose Beyond over PriceLabs because you have an account manager that closely follows your business and meets with you regularly. This is very useful to get to know the software and tools, especially in the beginning. Continuing these meetings regularly helps to stay updated with new developments." Emiliano Luciani, Founder at Wonder Where to Stay
The Challenge
As the business grew, the team needed more advanced and innovative revenue management technology to optimize pricing, improve performance during low season, and better support owners with clear, actionable insights. Their existing pricing tool, PriceLabs, no longer met their needs, particularly when it came to hands-on support and fully leveraging sophisticated features.
“Another important aspect is that software is in Italian language, especially when wanting to understand and make the most of the more sophisticated tools available.”
In 2022, Wonder Where to Stay switched to Beyond after meeting the team at Scale Rentals Barcelona. Beyond became their primary revenue management platform, providing dedicated account management, regular check-ins, and access to advanced pricing and optimization tools. The availability of the platform in Italian made it easier for the team to understand and fully utilize Beyond’s more advanced capabilities.
Using Beyond’s pricing tools and Insights dashboards, the team was able to optimize rates, availability, and length of stay strategies while gaining clear visibility into property performance.
"The interface is very user-friendly and you can see at a glance all the relevant information you need to make decisions. We really like the possibility to switch between different visualizations of the dashboard that can be used according to what you want to know, as each of them provides you with new information. Beyond is intuitive, easy to use and its dashboards are very helpful. It is really beneficial to the company, as it is constantly evolving to help us to optimize our strategies."
The Results
Since switching to Beyond, Wonder Where to Stay increased Average Daily Rates by 22% compared to previous pricing. During low season, occupancy increased by 94%, while in peak season, revenue per available night (RevPAN) rose by 89%. The team now uses Beyond’s Insights to share clear performance data with property owners and make faster, more informed pricing decisions using intuitive dashboards that support multiple views and deeper analysis.
