Q&A

Q: When I put a minimum length of stay into my Admin Site, are guests informed online if they do not meet that requirement?

Yes, the guest will see a notice of the minimum length of stay required to book. The guest can then change their dates and continue with the booking. Your front desk users will also see a notice within the Admin site regarding the length of stay requirements.

Q: When using Dynamic Pricing to automatically increase my rates if occupancy reaches a certain %, will my rates increase one time or incrementally with every new booking?

Once the threshold is met (50% for example) the base rate will increase by your preset amount (15% for example) just one time on any bookings 50% or above. Using a single rule will not incrementally increase your rates.

However, you can set multiple rules for different thresholds to manually create a more incremental dynamic rate structure. For example:

If occupancy reaches ____%, my rates will increase by ____.

Occupancy is 40 - 60%, increase by 10%.

Occupancy is 61 - 75%, increase by 10%.

Occupancy is 76 - 100%, increase by 20%.
