The revenue hub for Barbados hotels
Know how your season will finish, while there's still time to change it.
Ratevane turns your own bookings into a forecast for every month ahead and a pricing plan you decide on. It works alongside the booking system you already use: start with one export, then keep it current.
Optional add-on: Rate watch shows what Barbados hotels charge on their own websites, every morning.
- Booked so far (to 9 Nov)

How it works
Bring in your history
One export of your bookings shows how each month really finished.
Keep it current
Upload a fresh export each week, or have your booking system email one to us, so your pickup and forecast stay up to date.
See where each month will finish
Against the same point last year, with a range, not a guess.
Decide, and see what happened
A suggested move per month, your decision on record, and what was booked after it.
Your bookings stay yours
- They build your forecast and nothing else: never used to set, suggest or influence any other hotel’s prices.
- Only your hotel’s logins and Ratevane’s administrator see them. Never another hotel, and never the BHTA.
- No guest names: dates, status, rooms, revenue, room type and channel are all we need.
- Never sold or shared, and deleted whenever you ask.

Questions
What do I send?
One export from your booking system: the last two years and everything booked ahead, without guest names.
How does my forecast stay up to date?
Upload a fresh export each week on your Bookings page. If your booking system can email a report every day, we can set that up with you instead.
Who sees my bookings, and are they used for other hotels?
Only your hotel’s logins and Ratevane’s administrator. Never another hotel or the BHTA, and never used for anyone else’s prices, suggestions or any market figure.
What is Rate watch?
An optional add-on: the public prices hotels show on their own websites, every morning, before tax, in US dollars. It’s useful from day one, while your bookings are being connected.
Which hotels does Rate watch cover?
70 hotels across the south, west and east coasts of Barbados, from guest houses to Sandy Lane. The Rate watch page lists every one, including the larger resorts we don’t price yet.
How are my Rate watch hotels chosen?
You choose them, starting from hotels like yours, and can change them at any time.
How much does it cost?
