If a dorm can accommodate three guests and the extra person price is different, then you will need three daily prices:
 +
*Daily price 1: "Price for" = Up to 1 person.
 +

 +
 
 +
 
 +
Example 2:
 +
 
 +
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
  
−

+
Then go to the CALENDAR and enter your price for the first person.
  
−
=== Step 2- Set your Rates ===
 
−
Go to '''RATES''' click on ADD RATE to open the rate popup.
 
  
−

+
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.
−
[[Media:hostel2.png|view large]]
 
  
−

+

1.2 Step 2 - Set your Prices

1.2.1 Using Daily Prices

Go to PRICES > DAILY PRICE RULES and create a daily price for each number of guest which can book.

Example 1:

If a dorm can accommodate three guests and the extra person price is different, then you will need three 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.

Then go to the CALENDAR and enter your price for each daily price/number of people.


Example 2:

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

Then go to the CALENDAR and enter your price for the first person.


Example 3:

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.

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.

1.2.2 Using Fixed Prices

Go to PRICES > FIXED PRICES click on "Add Fixed Prices".

  • enter your bed price per night under both Single Price and Extra Person

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.

1.2.3 Offer the whole dorm at a discounted price

Set up the price for the whole dorm as Room Price for Max Room Capacity.

1.2.4 Discounted price for children

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

1.3 Manage bookings

For online bookings containing multiple beds the system will create a group booking with one master booking showing the invoice for all beds and and individual linked bookings for each bed. The Group_Bookings help page gives more information on how to manage group bookings.

When manually adding a booking for a dorm you can assign a free bed via the "Unit" selector in the "Summary" tab of the booking. If you are adding a booking for multiple beds use the "Allocate" button to allocate beds.

1.4 Channels / OTAs

If you plan to sell your dorm Beds on a booking channel, then please check the specific requirements for pricing and dependencies to ensure you meet their requirements.

1.5 Channels/OTA pricing requirements

OTA Channel Pricing Model Daily Price Rules Calendar Channel specific requirements
Agoda Per Occupancy Pricing Price for = 1 person, no "Extra Person Price" Enter Bed/person Price in the calendar
Airbnb Per Day Pricing Price for = up to 1 person, no "Extra Person Price" Enter Bed/person Price in the calendar (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT > LISTING DETAILS >

Property Type Group = boutique_hotels_and_more

Listing Type = Shared room

Bathroom Shared = Choose one of the options with shared bathroom (CAN NOT BE PRIVATE)

(SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT > PRICING > Guests Included = 1

(SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > MAPPING > Sync Type = Limited

Airbnb will send ONE booking for the total number of guests, blocking the inventory. The booking will appear that all guests are in the same 'bed' but the inventory will show the correct number. You can prefer to see the bookings as individual bookings, copy the booking from Airbnb and create a group booking.

Airbnb Per Occupancy Pricing Price for = 1 person, no "Extra Person Price" Enter Bed/person Price in the calendar (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT > LISTING DETAILS >

Property Type Group = boutique_hotels_and_more

Listing Type = Shared room

Bathroom Shared = Choose one of the options with shared bathroom (CAN NOT BE PRIVATE)

If you use Pricing Model = Per Occupancy Pricing, then Airbnb does not limit the number of guests based on the inventory sent from Beds24.

Expedia Per Day Pricing Price = 1 person, no "Extra Person Price" Enter Bed/person Price in the calendar
Booking.com Per Day Pricing Price = Max Occupancy Enter Bed/person Price in the calendar Send Support ticket, requesting the Pricing Model at Booking.com is changed to Standard.
HostelsClub Price = Max Occupancy Enter Bed/person Price in the calendar Private Room - Daily Price = Price For = Max Occupancy (The price paid by the guest is the bed price multiplied by the number of beds in the private room)
