Responding to challenging day-to-day payment needs.

Responding to ever-changing customer demands and expectations, particularly since the pandemic, has been a challenge for the hospitality industry.

Bohemia Suites & Spa's knew it needed a hospitality-tailored payment solution that could answer the needs of day-to-day hotel activity, such as top-ups, late charges and no-shows.

Bohemia Suites & Spa required a solution that was compliant with new security regulations – Data Security Standard Requirements (DSS) and the Second EU Payment Service Directive (PSD2) – and offered a seamless payment experience to guests. But it was a challenge to find a payment solution that could be integrated with both its property management system, Infor, and its booking engine, to have a 360º view of customer activity.

Focussed on offering an incredible guest experience by meeting expectations in terms of speed and convenience throughout the guest journey - including the payment process – Bohemia Suites & Spa was determined to find an end-to-end payments solution that could cover the full spectrum of hotel activities.

That’s where we stepped in.

“We were looking for a single provider for all payment processes that take place in a hotel – and Worldline’s integrated hospitality solution covered all our needs. This partnership has allowed us to focus on growing our business and providing our guests with an exceptional service, whilst Worldline concentrates on handling our payment services smoothly and efficiently.”

The solution

All systems go.

We worked hard with Bohemia Suites & Spa to achieve an even better service for its guests. We did this by delivering the WL Hospitality Suite, a solution that covers all hotel payment needs and provides a seamless cross-channel experience. We took care of the entire process to ensure that the implementation of the new solution was simple and fast, and resulted in minimal impact on hotel activity. This meant Bohemia Suites & Spa could focus on doing what it does best – offering guests incredible service for an unforgettable break.

And the results speak for themselves. Since installing the new payment solution from Worldline, guests have been able to pay using their preferred payment method or mobile wallet resulting in a smoother customer experience.

With an intuitive and flexible payments solution now in place, Bohemia Suites & Spa enjoys seamless and efficient operation and continues to wow guests by offering exceptional service in every single interaction.
