Under Pricings, you find an overview of the pricing models and the assigned properties:
What is a pricing model?
A pricing model maps the prices of an accommodation, including the different prices and conditions depending on the period booked.
When a booking is created or modified, the rental price is (re)calculated according to the assigned pricing model.
Any number of price models can be created, and each property can be assigned a different price model. A price model can also apply to multiple accommodations.
The assignment of pricing models to property can be edited under Properties.
Rental prices
- Basic prices: Lowest price in the off-season, set for one or more years.
- Seasonal prices: Higher prices for periods during the season (high season, New Year, holidays, etc.). Seasonal prices take precedence over base prices.
- Price calculation days/nights: Prices can be calculated for days or nights. When calculating by days, the arrival day is also included in the calculation. Standard is a price calculation by nights.
- Weekend prices: Specify both the weekend overnight price and days considered as weekend days. When calculating the price by nights, select the start day, e.g., Friday for the night from Friday to Saturday. If no day is set, weekend prices will not be used in the price calculation.
- Arrival days / departure days: As an option, you can specify on which days arrivals/departures are possible. For example: arrival: Saturday / departure: Saturday -> only bookings from Saturday to Saturday are possible.
- Minimum stay: Minimum number of days or nights that must be booked for the period.
- Reduced price: Reduced price per day/night for longer stays
Please Note:
- For each period stored under base prices and seasonal prices, the price + the arrival days + minimum stay can be set. For example, it is possible to set a minimum stay of 2 nights in the off-season, but 7 days in the high season.
- Please make sure that the periods stored unter base prices do not overlap, and also the periods stored under seasonal prices.
Additional services
Additional services such as cleaning fees, visitor’s tax, etc., can be stored here. Mandatory services are automatically included in the booking. Optional (non-mandatory) services can be added manually to the respective booking if required. For further information, see the article about creating and editing additional services.
- Price calculation days / nights / once: Prices are calculated based on the number of nights, days, or as a one-time flat rate.
- Unit: Prices are calculated according to the number of children, adults, total number of guests (children, adults, e.g.) or as a flat rate.
Discounts / surcharges
Discounts or surcharges can be defined with a % value. They can either be used as mandatory when calculating prices or added manually to a booking.
Discounts must be specified with a negative sign (-5%). Surcharges can also be used to map local taxes. Multiple surcharges/discounts can be used for each booking.
By default, surcharges/discounts are included in the gross prices. They are not visible to the guest on the invoice.
As a special case, you can also select a calculation based on net prices and without tax. This corresponds to the calculation that often has to be used for local taxes. The surcharge/discount is then shown separately on the invoice.
Check pricing
When validating the price model, the system checks for each day if a price has been stored. The report can be downloaded as a report (.pdf). Days without a price or days for which several prices have been stored are marked as errors in the report.
Effects of changes to the pricing
Changes in the pricing only affect future or modified bookings; prices for existing bookings remain unchanged unless the booking is edited (change of arrival/departure date or change of accommodation) or the prices in the booking are manually updated using Recalculate services .
Multiple price models per property
It is possible to store multiple pricing models for a property, for example, a separate pricing for each year. The details in the pricing models must not overlap.
Additional services will be charged according to the price model valid on the day of arrival.
