RoomRaccoon uses occupancy-based pricing (OBP) which means that each specific rate is tailored and adjusted according to the number of guests sleeping in them. In most cases you would need to propose a personalised price for each type of guest, by showing travellers prices based on actual occupancy, you are more likely to meet their preferences.
How does OBP work
Without Occupancy Based Pricing the situation would be
Four guests staying in a quadruple room at R4000.
With Occupancy-Based Pricing, you can configure rates in the following way
Four guests staying in a quadruple room at R4000.
Three guests staying in the same room at R3000.
Two guests staying in the same room at R2000.
One guest stayed in the same room at R1000.
Benefits of Occupancy-Based Pricing
Appear in more search results: These rooms with OBP are visible to more travellers as such the room rate will match more travel searches.
Increase occupancy of high-value rooms: With this pricing model the biggest and most expensive rooms can be sold to more travellers and allows you to accommodate extra guests in more affordable rooms.
Boosted Revenue: According to Booking.com, occupancy-based Pricing can lead to an average revenue increase of 3.5%.
