Combine two rooms to sell as a suite

This page explains how to use virtual rooms to sell two rooms independently and as a suite at the same time

Example 1: A B&B has 2 rooms (single and double). The rooms can be sold individually or together as a suite.

1. Set up your "real" room:

• Create one room double

• Create one room single

2. Set up your "virtual" room:

• Create one room suite

3. Set up the room dependency settings in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES as follows:

• Suite:
  • Requires Availability in = double
  • Requires Availability in = single
  • Combination Logic = all rooms must be available

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

• Double:
  • Include Bookings from = Suite

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

• Single:
  • Include Bookings from = Suite

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

Example 2: A Lodging as has 2 identical rooms which are set up as one room type with the quantity of 2. The rooms can be sold individually or together as a suite.

1. Set up your "real" rooms:

• Create one room with a quantity of 2.

2. Set up your "virtual" suite

• Create one room suite

3. Set up the room dependency settings in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES as follows:

• Suite:
  • Requires Availability in = rooms
  • Combination Logic = 2 units must be available

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

• Rooms:
  • Requires Availability in = suite

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

Example 3: A B&B has 3 standard rooms (tulip, iris, rose) and one economy room. Tulip can be combined with the economy room to form a suite.

1. Set up your "real" rooms:

• Create one room type standard containing iris and rose with a quantity of 2 and set "Sell Priority"= hide to hide the room from your booking page

• Create room standard room tulip with a quantity of 1 and set "Sell Priority"= hide to hide the room from your booking page

• Create the economy room with a quantity of 1

2. Set up your "virtual" rooms:

• Create one room type standard room with the quantity of 3

• Create the suite with a quantity of 1

3. Set up the room dependency settings in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES as follows:

• Room type standard room:
  • Requires Availability in = room type standard containing iris and rose
  • Requires Availability in = tulip
  • Combination Logic = Sum of all bookings
  • Assign Bookings to = First available dependency room

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

• Suite:
  • Requires Availability in = tulip
  • Requires Availability in = economy room
  • Combination Logic = all rooms must be available

Leave all other settings set to the defaults.

NOTE: If you are sending virtual rooms and real rooms to an OTA which allows multiple room bookings we can not stop a guest booking any combination at the same time.
