Hospitality CRO: How Session Recordings Unlock Hidden Guest Insights

Introduction

In hospitality, guest experience is everything. From browsing hotel rooms online to completing a booking, each interaction shapes how travelers feel about your brand. But traditional analytics often miss the small behaviors that reveal why guests hesitate or abandon bookings.

This is where session recordings become a game changer. By replaying real guest interactions on your website or booking portal, hotels and resorts can uncover friction points, understand intent, and design smoother digital experiences that increase bookings.

🎥 What Are Session Recordings?

A session recording is a real-time playback of how a visitor interacts with your site. Unlike static reports, recordings show:

• Where guests click — room details, offers, or CTAs


• Where they hesitate — pricing breakdowns, add-ons, or forms


• Where they drop off — checkout steps or upsell screens

🏨 Why Hotels & Resorts Need Them

Hospitality is highly competitive — small usability issues can cost thousands in lost bookings. Session recordings help hoteliers:

• Spot form abandonment in real time


• Test room package layouts and upsell placement


• Understand guest journey behavior from browse to checkout


• Compare mobile vs desktop experiences

📊 Case Study: A Hotel Booking Flow

A boutique hotel in London used CRMx session recordings to study its direct booking portal. They discovered most users abandoned during the “extra services” step because the upsell options were unclear.

After redesigning the add-ons page and simplifying the booking flow:

• 📈 Completed bookings increased by 18%


• 💼 Upsell conversions (spa, dining packages) rose by 27%


• 🌍 Mobile completion rates improved significantly
