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:

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

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.
