The "Gap Fill" rate strategy is a special rate which is only allowed if less than a certain number of consecutive nights have availability.
The maximum number of consecutive nights allowed for the rate to be active is set by the maximum stay setting.
To use a rate a "Gap Fill" set "Restriction Stragety" = "Gap Fill ("Summary tab of your RATE)
Maximum stay defines the maximum stay and also the number of night the gap must have.
1 Example: Two night minimum stay but allow selling single nights if the night before and the night after is booked
A typical situation for a two night minimum stay strategy is to end up with with single nights that cannot be sold because the night before and the night after is booked.
- set minimum stay to 1
- set maximum stay to 1
A rate with the strategy set to "Gap Fill" will only be applied on a date if the number of consecutive nights of availability are less than or equal to the rates maximum stay setting.
This means setting the maximum stay to one will only allow this rate if only one day is available.
Using a gap fill in conjunction with your normal minimum stay rates will automatically open individual nights if they are available but not bookable due to the minimum stay restriction.
The Gap fill rate has it's own price which can be higher lower or the same as your normal rate.
2 Example 2: Three night minimum stay but allow selling two nights if there is a two night gap
- set minimum stay to 2
- set maximum stay to 2
