Channel manager and cloud-based property management system for Australia
Australian hotels, motels and B&Bs sell through Booking.com and Expedia for the domestic and long-haul market, Airbnb for shorter stays, and Agoda and Trip.com for Asian inbound travellers. Prime Host runs all of it from one calendar, hosted in the cloud, with proof that every price change actually landed.
What running OTAs in Australia looks like
A wide geographic spread of guests
A property near Sydney or Melbourne often sells to domestic drive-market guests via Booking.com and Expedia, and to inbound Asian travellers via Agoda and Trip.com — each channel skewing toward a different guest.
Daylight saving shifts your own clock, not ours
Australia's east coast moves between AEST and AEDT each year; Thailand stays on GMT+7 year-round, so the gap between your time and our support hours changes by an hour twice a year.
A spreadsheet next to five extranets doesn't scale
Many independent motels and B&Bs still track availability by hand across channels — the point where a double-booking usually starts.
Commission varies more than the rate card suggests
Promotions, genius-style discounts and payment processing fees mean the commission you actually pay per booking is rarely the flat percentage you were quoted.
How Prime Host handles it
One cloud calendar for every channel
Booking.com, Airbnb, Agoda, Expedia, Trip.com and Hostelworld connect live. The dashboard runs in a browser or as a phone app (PWA) — nothing to install on a property's own server.
Read-back on every update
A rate or availability change is only marked done once we read the value back from the channel and confirm it matches — not just because the channel replied "success".
Prime Shield flags a quiet discount in dollars
Every booking is compared against the price you set, so a stacked promo shows up as a real dollar amount, not a feeling that something's off.
Real commission, measured per channel
Commission is calculated from your own bookings on each connected OTA, so you know what Booking.com or Expedia actually cost you that month.
What a property in Australia pays
Prices are shown in USD for reference. Checkout is billed in Thai baht at current exchange rates.
| Rooms | Annual plan (per month) | Monthly plan |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | $72.50 | $87 |
| 30 | $102.50 | $123 |
| 60 | $147.50 | $177 |
Price is based only on room count. GST treatment of an overseas digital subscription is a question for your accountant or bookkeeper — we don't charge or collect Australian GST at checkout.
