Beds24 checks the prices in this order:

1. room price: it a room price is set the system will divide the room price by the number of beds and send this to Hostelworld

2. double price: if no room price is found the system will look for a double price, divide it by 2 and send this to Hostelworld

3. single price: if no room price and no double price are found the system will send the single price as bed price to Hostelworld. For dorm beds just set a single price.
