1 Airbnb Pricing Models
Our connection with Airbnb supports these pricing models:
1. Per Occupancy Pricing (OBP) RECOMMENDED - If your Booking.com Rate Type is Per Occupancy Pricing a price for each occupancy defined in Beds24 can be sent. Set the Booking.com Rate Type to Occupancy.
2. Per Day Pricing (Standard) - If your Booking.com Rate Type is "Per Day Pricing / Standard" you will need a price for the maximum room occupancy. If you want to send an additional "Single" price Booking.com needs to activate the single price option. After this is done you can set the Booking.com Rate Type to Per Day Pricing + Single.
3. 'Rate Plans - If Booking.com has set up derived (RLO) prices they calculate prices for different occupancies from one standard price sent from Beds24. If your pricing model is RLO (derived prices) only Booking.com can change rate plans. Contact Booking.com support or change to Occupancy Pricing.
