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 Lodging as a double room and a twin room. The twin room is also sold as king room. The double and the twin room are sold as suite 1 and the double and the king room are sold as
The 2 real rooms and the king room can all be sold separately as well as the 2 suites.
1. Set up your "real" rooms:
- Create a Double and a Twin room with a quantity of 1 each.
2. Set up your "virtual" rooms
- Create one room King with a quantity of 1
- Create one room Suite 1 with a quantity of 1
- Create one room Suite 2 with a quantity of 1
2. Set up the room dependency settings in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES as follows:
- King:
- Requires Availability in = Twin
Leave all other settings set to the defaults.
- Suite 1:
- Requires Availability in = Twin and Double
- Combination Logic = All rooms must be available
Leave all other settings set to the defaults.
- Suite 2:
- Requires Availability in = Twin and Double
- Combination Logic = All rooms must be available
Leave all other settings set to the defaults.
- Double:
- Include Bookings from = Suite 1, Suite 2
Leave all other settings set to the defaults.
- Twin:
- Include Bookings from = King, Suite 1, Suite 2
Leave all other settings set to the defaults.
Example 4: 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.
- Tulip:
- Include Bookings from = Suite
Leave all other settings set to the defaults.
- Economy:
- Include Bookings from = Suite
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.
