FAQ

Questions

Short answers. Legal detail lives on Terms, Privacy and Disclaimer.

Is it free to check hotel prices?

Yes. Travellers search any live city at no charge. Owner dashboards and paid plans are for hotels.

Are these live Booking.com prices?

Hotel names are real (OpenStreetMap). Typical from is a market range — weather, season and published ADR — not a Booking scrape. Tap Booking, Agoda or Expedia for the live quote on their site.

How does RoomRateIQ make money?

OTA affiliate commissions when a guest completes a stay after a click-out, monthly hotel subscriptions, a higher share if the hotel takes a direct booking, and labelled sponsored placements. Clicks themselves are not cash.

Can you get me API keys for every OTA?

No. Booking, Agoda, Expedia and MakeMyTrip issue IDs only after you apply on their sites. Open Partners for the official links. Airbnb has no public search API.

Where did the product start?

Auroville and Pondicherry, including Blissful Haven in Edayanchavadi. It now covers 25 cities worldwide.

Do I need an account?

Not in this demo. Tap Owner, tick that you have read Vision, Terms, Privacy and Disclaimer, then choose Hotel owner tools or Site operator. There is no email or password.

Where is admin login? How do I put affiliate IDs in?

Admin is the Site operator desk after the same Access tick — there is no separate password. Catalog, calendar and comps are edited in those hotel tools. Affiliate tracking IDs are not saved in this public database (anyone could overwrite them). Apply on Partners, then paste the aid/CID into Grok Secrets (if you published here) or into your VPS environment on Host.

What cookies do you use?

A consent record is always stored after you choose. Compare list and selected listing stay on your device only if you allow functional storage. We do not run advertising cookies. Change this any time from Cookie settings in the footer.

How do I put RoomRateIQ on my domain?

Publish from this Grok chat, then in Publish add the custom domain roomrateiq.com and point DNS with the CNAME Grok shows. Guest bookings stay on blissfulhaven.in. A VPS copy is optional — see Host.

Will Google find the city pages?

Pages are server-rendered with unique titles, a sitemap and structured data. Rankings still need your own domain, Search Console, and a link from your hotel site.
