Overview
The Jaigo Hotels success story in brief
Jaigo Hotels sells hotel stays directly to guests in Asia. In 2024 it refreshed its booking experience on PHPTRAVELS with one aim: make choosing a property and completing a reservation feel more intuitive.
The friction sat in three moments of the guest journey: filters that did not always match what guests were looking for, a listing too dense to compare rooms and rates, and a checkout that showed too much at once.
The refresh was built on the hotel booking module of the PHPTRAVELS platform. Hotel brands that sell direct can see the same tools on the hotel booking engine page.

The guest journey, in three stages
Stage 01: property search
Filters that follow what the guest has in mind
Search filters did not consistently reflect guest intent. The refreshed search puts the filters that matter for a given kind of stay first, so discovery feels cleaner.
- Challenge
- Weak filter relevanceSearch filters did not consistently reflect guest intent.
- Result
- Cleaner discoveryProperty search leads with the filters a guest actually needs.

Stage 02: selection flow
Rooms and rates that are easy to compare
The listing was dense, and guests needed a cleaner way to compare rooms and rates. The refresh lines up what differs between rooms, so the choice is visible at a glance.

- Dense listing experienceUsers needed a cleaner way to compare rooms and rates.
- Result
- Better room comparisonRoom options sit in one view, with the differences easy to read.

Stage 03: checkout clarity
A reservation step that shows one thing at a time
The final reservation steps presented too much information at once. The refreshed checkout splits the reservation into short steps and ends on a clear confirmation.

- Checkout detail overloadFinal reservation steps presented too much information at once.
- Result
- Smoother reservation stepGuests move through short steps to a clear confirmation.
