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" rooms:

  • 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 has 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 Suite 2

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

    • 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 the suite with a quantity of 1

 Note  Test dependencies carefully. If you are using dependencies please test thoroughly to make sure your set up reflects your rules. If you are connecting one physical room more than once to a booking channel you are risking overbookings.
