LOS pricing model

Pull_ListPropertyPrices_RS/Prices/Season/LOSS

In LOS pricing, it is possible to specify fixed nightly pricing plans for different numbers of nights and (optionally) for different number of guests. It means that your prices can depend on the number of booked nights and guests staying at your property.

Here is how LOS pricing works. For example, let's say your Daily price is 200 USD. If you continue using the Daily price model and one guest decides to book your property for three nights - the total is 600 USD.

In case you use LOS pricing, you can easily set that one guest pays a different amount per night, depending on how many nights were booked. For example, 1 guest can pay 200 per night if a 3-night stay was booked - the total is 600 USD. But you can easily set that 1 guest can pay 190 USD per night if a 4-night stay was booked - the total is 760 USD.

You can do the same for the number of guests and set different prices for different cases. You can see more examples as well as how to correctly set it at LOS pricing.

Note: LOS pricing can be referred by different names in various PMS's, including: weekly pricing, monthly pricing, and more. Please, refer to the PMS-dedicated documentation in order to learn what the name for LOS pricing is in your PMS.

FSP pricing model (N/A)

Daily price model

Daily price

Pull_ListPropertyPrices_RS/Prices/Season/Price

Daily price is the standard way of setting prices. It indicates the base price per night for the Standard number of guests.

Standard number of guests

Pull_ListSpecProp_RS/Property/StandardGuests

Standard number of guests refers to the maximum number of guests included in the Daily price for whom the price does not change. If more guests than specified book a stay, the extra guests will be charged with the price set in the Extra guest price element.

Example: If the Daily price includes 3 standard guests, the price stays the same in the case when either one, two or three guests book a stay.

Extra guest price

Pull_ListPropertyPrices_RS/Prices/Season/Extra

Extra guest price is the price for guests that are not included in the Standard number of guests. In other words, if the overall number of guests exceeds the Standard number of guests, Extra guest price is applied for each guest above the specified standard.

Example: If the Daily price includes 3 standard guests and 5 guests book a stay, then Daily price is applied for 3 guests, but the 4th and 5th guest need to pay the Extra guest price.

Minimum stay

Pull_ListPropertyMinStay_RS/PropertyMinStay

Minimum stay indicates the minimum number of days a reservation can be made for. Guests will be not be able to book your property if they want to book stays shorter than minim stay. This value is mandatory to provide. The Minimum stay value is used for the availability check.

Weekend pricing

Pull_ListPropertyPrices_RS/Prices/Season/Price

Weekend pricing refers to a specific type of pricing rules that are applied on selected weekend days only. If the weekend-specific pricing is set and the reservation matches specified criteria, then the Weekend pricing will be applied instead of the Daily price.

Occupancy pricing

Pull_ListPropertyPrices_RS/Prices/Season/EGPS

In Occupancy pricing, it is possible to specify pricing plans for different numbers of guests. The difference between Extra guest price and Occupancy pricing lies in fact that with Extra guest price the same price is applied for each extra guest. On the other hand, in Occupancy pricing it is perfectly possible to specify different prices for different numbers of guests. Note that Occupancy pricing takes precedence over Extra guest price.

Complimentary topics

Discounts

Pull_ListPropertyDiscounts_RS/Discounts/LongStays

Pull_ListPropertyDiscounts_RS/Discounts/LastMinutes

Discounts are applied in order to deduct certain amount from the price, provided the specified requirements are met by the reservation. Currently, there are two types of discounts:

LOS discount may be applied when criteria specified for the length of stay are met. For example, LOS discount may apply only for 3-days stays. Last-minute discount on the other hand is applied if the reservation is made within the specified time before the check-in day. 

Preparation Time Before Arrival (N/A)

Changeover restrictions

Pull_GetChangeoverDays_RS

Changeover restrictions specify whether check-in or check-out is allowed for a given day. This is a great option if you need the guests checking in and out to fit your schedule and it will help you avoid unexpected guests. If some days are restricted from changeovers, then your guests will simply not be able to select such a stay if the start or end day falls on a changeover-restricted day.
