Auctores Smart Overbooking helps hotels turn last-minute cancellations into revenue by automatically recommending or applying safe overbooking levels per date and room type. Connected to Mews, it updates availability daily using airline-style logic to maximize occupancy without extra work for staff. Auctores brings to hotels what airlines have refined for decades: data-driven, “just enough” overbooking. By modeling no-shows and late cancellations, it suggests how many extra rooms to sell so that properties fly as full as an aircraft, while still protecting guest experience. How it works with Mews Through its integration with Mews, Auctores reads reservation and cancellation patterns, occupancy, and room category data. Its machine-learning engine then computes recommended overbooking levels per date and room type. Depending on the configuration, these levels are either displayed in an advisory view or pushed back to Mews as updated availability. Controls and safety Hotels stay in control at all times. Users can: Choose per-property and per-room-type overbooking strategies. Set maximum risk caps and safe modes for sensitive dates. Operate in “read-only” (recommendation) or “auto-apply” mode, and switch between them at any time. All calculations use only the data needed for modeling, processed securely, with a clear audit trail of changes. The result is higher occupancy and fewer empty rooms, achieved with familiar airline-style overbooking logic and minimal operational effort for hotel teams.
