1. Occupancy- Based Price Adjustment

Occupancy-based price adjustments enable dynamic pricing tailored to guest numbers in relation to the base occupancy. The base room price is applied when bookings match the defined base occupancy.

Additional Adults:

If the number of adults exceeds the base occupancy, an extra charge is calculated using either a fixed amount or a percentage of the base price.

Conversely, if the adult count is below the base occupancy, a reduction is applied similarly.

Additional Children:

Charges for extra children beyond the base child occupancy are determined using a predefined formula, calculated as a fixed amount or a percentage of the base price.

Additional Infants:

For infants exceeding the base infant occupancy, additional pricing is applied per infant, using a similar fixed or percentage-based approach.

This pricing model ensures flexible and accurate adjustments for diverse occupancy levels.

• Price Increase Per Adult Above Base Occupancy: Enter the value that you want to add for each additional adult exceeding the base occupancy for the selected room type.
  
• Price reduction per adult below base occupancy: Use this field to specify the reduction in cost applied when an adult is less than the base occupancy.
  
• Extra child price: Use this field to specify the additional cost applied for each child.
  
• Extra infant Price: Use this field to specify the additional cost applied for each infant.

2. Per-Guest Pricing

The price is calculated by multiplying the number of guests by their respective rates for adults, children, and infants.

You can set individual rates for each type of occupant—adults, children, and infants. The total room price is then determined by summing the costs for all categories of guests in the booking.

For children’s pricing, you can either set a fixed amount or a percentage of the adult price. For infants, enter a fixed amount per infant occupancy.

• Per adult price : Use this field to enter the price of each adult in the booking.
  
• Per child price: Use this field to enter the price of each child in the booking.
  
• Per infant Price: Use this field to enter the price of each infant in the booking.

3. Price for Each Occupancy Level

This feature lets you set tailored pricing for each adult occupancy level, based on the number of adults in the room, up to its maximum adult capacity.

Adult Pricing:

Set individual prices for each adult occupancy level (e.g., 1 adult, 2 adults, 3 adults, and so on, up to the maximum adult capacity of the room).

This enables you to offer tailored rates based on the number of adults occupying the room.

Child Pricing:

Enter a fixed price for each child occupying the room. This price remains consistent regardless of the number of children staying, ensuring clarity in the billing process.

Infant Pricing:

Set a fixed price for infants staying in the room, allowing for precise pricing based on the number of infants in the booking.

This flexible pricing model ensures guests are charged accurately by occupancy type, optimizing revenue while catering to their specific composition and maximizing fairness.

4. Derived pricing

Derived pricing adjusts the price for each adult occupancy level based on the room’s base occupancy price, ensuring dynamic pricing according to the number of occupants.

• Base Price: The base price for the room is derived directly from the room type’s set rate for the base adult occupancy.
  
• Adjustment for Extra or Fewer Adults: For each additional or fewer adult, you can define how the price will change:
  
• Impact Way: Choose whether the adjustment increases or decreases the price based on the number of adults.
  
• Impact Value: Specify the adjustment amount per occupant, either infant price : Enter the price for per infant occupancy as a fixed price or a percentage of the base price.
  
• Impact Type: Indicate if the adjustment is a fixed amount or a percentage of the base price.
  
• Child Pricing: For children, enter the price either as a fixed amount or as a percentage of the base adult occupancy price.
  
• Infant Pricing: Set a fixed price for infants per occupancy.

This approach provides flexibility and accuracy, enabling you to adjust room rates based on occupancy levels and guest composition, ensuring alignment with your hotel’s revenue goals.
