OVERVIEW

1. No clear entry point: There was no dedicated CTA which reduced visibility and led to low adoption. 2. Choice overload: Once inside the flow, all requests were shown together, creating decision fatigue 3. Missing context for occasional needs: There was no separate space for occasional or one-off requests 4. Lack of tracking & transparency: Users couldn’t see their request's progress

PROBLEM STATEMENT

🤣

Guests Had Special Needs

Many travellers wanted to ask for late check-ins, extra beds, or even small surprises like birthday arrangements.

😍

Hidden Request Flow

The option to add special requests was buried deep in the booking journey, so very few people even discovered it.

🔥

No Confirmation from Hotels

Even when requests were made, guests didn’t receive any acknowledgment. This left them uncertain whether the hotel had received or acted on their request.

USER METRICS

From data, I understood: Awareness Gap – Only 16% of guests (30% premium) accessed Special Requests, showing poor discoverability despite being free. High Drop-offs – 84% dropped off mid-flow due to confusion, effort, or lack of clarity on request placement, leading to more hotel calls. Lost Potential – With 80% using just one request, opportunities for personalization, upsell, and higher engagement were missed. No Communication – Only 16% of users received updates from hotels regarding the status of their requests, while hotels faced significant challenges in managing and responding to them.
