We recently teamed up with the RoomPriceGenie team to host a live webinar—and the response exceeded all expectations. Due to overwhelming interest, we even had to upgrade our webinar capacity to accommodate everyone who wanted to attend.
A big thank you to our hosts: Menilik Henry Dyer from Preno, and Andy Collins and Melody Phillips from RoomPriceGenie, for leading such an insightful and practical session.
If you weren’t able to join us live, don’t worry—we’ve put together a recap covering the key topics, how the integration works, and the impressive results hoteliers are already experiencing.
Why We Partnered with RoomPriceGenie
At Preno, our goal is to provide independent hoteliers with simple, powerful tools that remove complexity — not add to it.
We already had a flexible dynamic pricing feature, but many of our customers were asking for more advanced automation, especially from one name in particular: RoomPriceGenie.
RoomPriceGenie is a specialist in dynamic pricing automation for small to medium-sized properties. Their pricing engine is built to be smart, transparent, and easy to use — which made them the perfect partner.
Rather than building a similar feature from scratch, we focused on what we do best: seamless integration. Now, you can plug RoomPriceGenie into Preno and let the system work behind the scenes to optimise your rates, with zero manual updates needed.

What is RoomPriceGenie?
Andy Collins from RoomPriceGenie gave us the backstory.
It all began with a small 15-room B&B. After building a simple pricing algorithm for his father’s property, the founder saw an increase of $50,000 in the first year alone. That success turned into a software company focused entirely on pricing automation for smaller accommodation providers.
The tool is now used by hundreds of properties worldwide — helping owners and operators stay competitive, even without a dedicated revenue manager.
Behind RoomPriceGenie’s Pricing Logic
RoomPriceGenie isn’t just copying your competitors’ prices. It uses a multi-layered approach:
- External data: It scans the wider market — including hotels, motels, and Airbnbs — to see how demand is shifting.
- Internal data: It pulls your occupancy, pace, and length of stay trends directly from Preno.
These data points are combined to generate the ideal price, up to 365 days in advance. The algorithm also accounts for pickup pace, seasonality, and compression nights.
A Look Inside: Webinar Demo with Melody Phillips
Melody Phillips, a revenue expert with over 15 years in hospitality, walked us through a live demonstration of RoomPriceGenie’s dashboard.
The pricing calendar is colour-coded:
- Green means suggested increase
- Red means suggested decrease
Click on any day, and you’ll see the full calculation breakdown:
- Base Price – your current rate baseline
- Market Adjustment – based on regional demand shifts (e.g. -5%)
- Internal Adjustment – based on your pickup (e.g. -11%)
- Final Price – automatically calculated and applied
You can still manually override pricing or lock in rates on specific dates. Full transparency, with full control.
Feature Highlights
- Chart View: Quickly visualise your pricing performance over the next 12–18 months.
- Surge Protection: If bookings spike unexpectedly, the system prompts you to increase prices — helping you capitalise on demand.
- Targeted Occupancy: Set your desired occupancy (e.g. 90%) and let the algorithm get you there through smart pricing adjustments.
Common Questions We Answered
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the number of rooms. RoomPriceGenie offers monthly and annual plans, with up to 17% savings if you commit for a year.
How long does it take to integrate?
Most properties are live within 24–72 hours. The RoomPriceGenie team helps with setup and testing.
Will it work with Booking.com Genius or promotions?
Yes. RoomPriceGenie sets the base rate, and promotional discounts apply afterward — ensuring you’re always earning more, even with deals.
Will it still work if I’m in a regional area?
Absolutely. The system looks at broader market trends, not just nearby competitors.
Will my guests see frequent rate changes?
Not really. Prices only change when there’s a significant reason (typically a 5%+ adjustment), and changes happen gradually.
