  This page explains how to set up dorms or other shared rooms
=Setup =
== Step 1 - Setup your Rooms ==
Go to  {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS)  > PROPERTIES > ROOMS and add a room for each dorm you have.


=== Step 1 - Setup your Rooms ===
To set them up go to  {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS)  > PROPERTIES > ROOMS > SETUP
Go to '''SETTINGS''' -> '''PROPERTIES''' -> '''ROOMS''' and add a room for each dorm you have.

== Step 2 - Set your Prices ==
===Using Daily Prices===
Go to PRICES > DAILY PRICE RULES and create a daily price for each number of guest which can book.


*Set the "Accommodation Type" = Dorm
Example 1:


=== Step 2- Set your Prices ===
If a dorm can accommodate three guests and the extra person price is different, then you will need three daily prices:
'''Using Daily Prices:'''
*Daily price 1: "Price for" = Up to 1 person.
*Daily price 2: "Price for" = Up to 2 People.
*Daily price 3: "Price for" = Up to 3 People.


Go to SETTINGS-> PROPERTIES-> ROOMS> DAILY PRICES enter a price for each number of guest which can book.  
Then go to the CALENDAR and enter your price for each daily price/number of people.


Example:


If a dorm can accommodate three guests you will need three daily prices:
Example 2:  
*Daily price 1: "Maximum Guests" = 1.
*Daily price 2: "Maximum Guests" = 2.
*Daily price 3: "Maximum Guests" = 3.


Then go to the CALENDAR and enter your price.
If a dorm can accommodate three guests and the extra person price is the same, then you can enter an Extra Person Price:
*Daily price 1: "Price for" = Up to 1 person, Extra Person Price = 20


'''Using Rates:'''
Then go to the CALENDAR and enter your price for the first person.


Go to '''RATES''' click on ADD RATE to open the rate popup.


*enter your bed price per night under both ''Single Price'' and ''Extra Person''
Example 3:


Bookings for one person will be offered the Single price. Bookings for two people will be offered the Single plus Extra person price. Bookings for three people the Single plus two Extra person etc.
If your prices change on a regular based and your dorm can accommodate three guests and each person is charged at the same price, you will need ONE daily price:
*Daily price 1: "Price for" = Per Person.  


[[Image:hostel2.png|600px|link=]]
Then go to the CALENDAR and enter your price for 1 person, the price for each additional person will be calculated from the 1 person price.

'''Optionally you can also:'''
===Using Fixed Prices===
Go to PRICES > FIXED PRICES click on "Add Fixed Prices".


*Offer the whole dorm at a discounted price. Enter the price for the whole dorm in ''Room Price'' and set ''Room Price For'' to ''Max Room Capacity'' or the minimum number of people this rate applies to.
*enter your bed price per night under both ''Single Price'' and ''Extra Person''


[[Image:hostel3.png|600px|link=]]
Bookings for one person will be offered the Single price. Bookings for two people will be offered the Single plus Extra person price. Bookings for three people the Single plus two Extra person etc.
[[Media:hostel3.png|view large]]


===Offer the whole dorm at a discounted price===
Set up the price for the whole dorm as  ''Room Price''  for ''Max Room Capacity''.


*if you offer a discounted price for children enter this into ''Extra Child''. If you use this go go '''SETTINGS''' -> '''PROPERTIES''' -> '''ROOMS''' and set ''Maximum Adults'' and ''Maximum Children'' to the max number you allow in this dorm.
===Discounted price for children===

The booking will appear that all guests are in the same 'bed' but the inventory will show the correct number. If you prefer to see the bookings as individual bookings, copy the booking from Airbnb and create a group booking.
