Satkar Hotel Website with Dynamic Booking & Banquet UI
Mohamad Ali
Satkar Hotel (“satkarhotel.co.in”)
Background
Satkar Hotel is a business-class hotel located in Chhatral, India. It offers multiple room types, banquet services, restaurant & food, etc. Hotel Satkar
Their website presents their amenities: room categories, food, free WiFi, laundry, room service etc. Hotel Satkar
Objectives & Goals (Implicit)
To allow guests to learn about the hotel and its offerings (rooms, food, facilities)
To convince potential guests via visuals, testimonials, amenity information
To convert site visitors into bookings or at least inquiries (rooms or banquet)
Current State: Strengths & Weaknesses
StrengthsWeaknesses / Areas for ImprovementGood content & clarity: Information about rooms, starting prices, amenities is present. Helps user understand what’s on offer. Hotel SatkarNo working dynamic booking form: As of the last check, the site seems to have issues loading (internal error) and no visible dynamic form for booking / banquet booking. If the booking form is missing or not functional, this is a major gap.Visual appeal & trust builders: Photo gallery, testimonials help to build trust & engagement. Hotel SatkarError & availability concerns: Internal server error indicates reliability issues. If site is sometimes down, that hurts credibility.Clearly presented room categories & prices: “Deluxe”, “Executive”, etc with starting rates. Helps user shortlist. Hotel SatkarUser journey friction: Without a booking form, or clear “Book Now / Reserve” calls to action, user may struggle to execute booking. Also, banquet booking may have special needs (event size, layout, date, menu) which need a more complex form.Amenities & service info: Free WiFi, food, room service etc are described, helps guests know what to expect. Hotel SatkarNo visible online reservation system: It doesn’t seem there is a “live availability + pricing + booking” flow. Without that, many potential customers may drop off.Testimonials: helps social proof. Hotel SatkarResponsive & mobile usability unclear: Doesn’t look like there is clear info whether the site is mobile-friendly or has responsive UI. Also no sample of dynamic interactions.Pricing transparency: Starting rates of rooms are shown. Hotel SatkarDesign & UX enhancements needed: Possibly more visuals, clearer action buttons (“Reserve”, “Book Banquet”, etc.), real-time availability, calendar, event planning options.
Key User Flows
Discover Rooms & Amenities
User lands, sees info about room types, amenities, photos → forms expectations.
Decide & Inquire / Book
If booking option is visible: pick dates → view room availability → pricing → finalize booking.
If banquet: pick event date, type, number of guests, menu, reach out to hotel.
Confirmation / Follow Up
After booking/inquiry, user gets confirmation, perhaps payment or deposit, contact details.
Currently, the second flow seems disrupted due to lack of or broken booking mechanism.
Competitive Benchmarking
Looking at other hotels / hotel chain websites (including other “Satkar” hotels or similar) that succeed:
Use dynamic booking widgets: date pickers, calendar, room selection, real-time availability & pricing.
Banquet reservation forms with custom fields: event type, guest count, menu choices, etc.
Integration of payment / deposit options.
Responsive mobile UI.
Clear “Call to Action” buttons (“Book Now”, “Check Availability”) above the fold.
Recommendation & Proposed Enhancements
To improve conversion, user experience and make the site “awesome UI with dynamic booking”, following steps are suggested:
Implement a Fully Functional Booking Engine
Date picker with available dates for rooms & banquets.
Show room types, occupancy, pricing dynamically.
Allow selection of number of guests, extra beds, etc.
For banquet booking: fields like event type, expected number of people, date, time, menu choice or preference, special requirements (audio/visual etc.).
Robust backend & reliability
Address site internal error, ensure server uptime.
Optimise performance (fast load times), especially images.
Design & UX Improvements
Above-fold visible “Book Now” button.
Responsive design (mobile first), so booking form works well on phones.
Use good visuals: high quality photos of rooms, banquet halls, food. Possibly 360° views or virtual tour.
Use testimonials and reviews more prominently.
User Communication & Trust
Clear cancellation / refund policies.
Show secure payment options / guarantees.
Real-time confirmation ‒ send email/SMS upon booking.
Analytics & Feedback Loop
Track drop-off in booking form: where users abandon.
Use A/B testing for CTAs (“Book Now” vs “Reserve”), form field length, layouts.
Banquet / Event Module
Possibly a separate module for banquet/event planning: upload guest list, choose menu, see banquet hall capacity, layout options, equipment.
Pricing estimation in real time (if possible).
Potential Impact
Improved conversion: More visitors turning into paying customers.
Reduced friction: user doesn’t need to call or email; they can self-serve.
Better user satisfaction.
Competitive edge over hotels that don’t offer dynamic, smooth booking UX.
More queries / bookings for banquet/events, which are often higher value.
