One of the most popular filters is the Sort by price filter. Along with the Price for the night setting they can be used to exclude options beyond the client’s budget. Another common filter is the Property type, which allows agents to select accommodations that match their clients’ preferences, whether it be hotels, apartments, villas, resorts or any other specific type. In order to help agents make informed decisions, filter by Clients’ Reviews can be applied: RateHawk integrates millions of verified reviews that offer authentic insights into travelers’ experiences.
The Facilities tool is crucial for selecting client-important services like car parking, conference rooms, or swimming pool and fitness center. The room facilities section allows agents to refine choices based on amenities like balconies or kitchen.
Navigate the map
For clients with specific distance requirements RateHawk offers a range of filters such as proximity to the city center, beach, or ski chairlift, closeness to landmarks, or access to a metro station.
RateHawk’s map search feature provides a more advanced geo search. The flag tool is a valuable asset, allowing agents to mark a specific location and search within a designated radius. This feature is especially useful for business travelers attending conferences or fairs, where marking the exhibition center helps locate suitable hotels within the desired proximity.
Additionally, RateHawk’s map search includes a ruler tool for measuring distances between points, helping calculate travel times to different destinations.
