Kuala Lumpur, 9 October 2025 – JOMhotel.com, a proudly Malaysian-built and owned same-day hotel booking platform, successfully hosted its inaugural Hotel Partners’ Get-Together Night at Societe Suites Hartamas. The event brought together hoteliers, industry leaders, and business partners for an evening of collaboration, networking, and shared vision. The gathering served as a platform for partners to exchange insights, explore innovative strategies, and celebrate a shared mission — transforming vacant hotel rooms into valuable revenue streams. With nearly 30% of hotel guests in Malaysia booking their stays on the very same day (according to reliable industry statistics), JOMhotel.com is perfectly positioned to help hotels maximize occupancy while offering affordable, spontaneous stays to travellers.

Founded in 2025 and backed by Bamboo Hospitality Travel Sdn Bhd, JOMhotel.com was created by a team of seasoned hotel General Managers, OTA specialists, and startup developers who understand the unique challenges faced by the hospitality industry. Their mission is simple yet powerful: to bridge the gap between hotels with unsold room inventory and travellers seeking last-minute stays — making the process easy, fast, and seamless. Unlike traditional OTAs that market broadly, JOMhotel.com focuses exclusively on same-day stays, with strict nonrefundable policies, instant payments to hotel partners, and attractive tiered pricing options ranging from RM49 to RM299.

This model allows hotels to turn unsold inventory into real revenue while travellers enjoy affordable, surprise deals for spontaneous getaways.

Anthony Kong, JOMhotel’s Director, speaking at the event.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Anthony Kong, Director of JOMhotel.com, highlighted the value of partnership and innovation: “Our success lies in the strength of our collaboration with hoteliers. Tonight marks not just a celebration, but the beginning of a collective journey — one built on trust, technology, and a shared commitment to reshape the hospitality landscape.” The evening also introduced hotel partners to JOMhotel.com’s upcoming digital tools, including precision digital marketing, geo-fenced campaigns, and high-intent search targeting — innovations designed to help hotels connect with genuine last-minute travellers once the platform goes live. Beyond improving occupancy rates, JOMhotel.com represents a technology-driven hospitality revolution. By leveraging data analytics and customer behaviour insights, the platform helps hotels reduce operational waste, enhance efficiency, and drive long-term sustainable growth.

Looking ahead, JOMhotel.com aims to expand its footprint across Malaysia by strengthening partnerships with hotels, event organisers, and travel-related businesses. With its passionate team and focused mission, the platform is poised to redefine last-minute travel in Malaysia, setting a new benchmark for flexibility, affordability, and convenience in the tourism sector.
