Managing Rental Pricing and Setting Specific Rates in Hosthub

Hosthub provides a robust Rate Management feature that enables property owners to set and manage pricing for diverse rental scenarios, such as one-night stays, varying day rates, and platform-specific adjustments. Follow this guide to learn how to configure rates effectively.

Introduction to Rate Management

Rate Management in Hosthub is your central hub for controlling rental pricing across various configurations. It includes options to:

• Set rates for specific lengths of stay (e.g., one-night vs longer stays).
• Define weekday and weekend rates.
• Apply channel-specific pricing rules for platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com.
• Configure exceptions for unique dates or scenarios.

Setting Higher Rates for One-Night Stays

If you wish to apply a higher rate specifically for one-night stays, follow these steps:

• Navigate to the Rate Management section in your Hosthub account.
• Select the rental property you want to adjust.
• Open the Exceptions tab.
• Specify the calendar dates during which the rate should apply.
• Expand the Advanced Settings section.
• Enter the desired weekday and weekend rates, along with the minimum and maximum length of stay for that period.
• Review your adjustments and publish the changes.

Setting Different Rates Based on Stay Length and Across Platforms

To apply different rates for one-night vs longer stays and manage rates across platforms:

• For Airbnb: Use Hosthub's Rate Management to set a base rate for one-night stays, then apply length-of-stay discounts (e.g., for two or more nights).
• For Booking.com: Extended stay discounts must be configured directly on the Booking.com platform as they cannot be managed through Hosthub.
• To ensure your one-night rate applies to all connected channels, set it as the base rate in Rate Management. Implement discounts (e.g., 10%-15%) for longer stays as necessary.
• Additional fees, such as cleaning and pet fees, can also be customized for each channel within their respective settings.

Configuring Special Rates for Specific Days (e.g., Sundays)

To apply separate rates for a specific day, such as Sundays, perform the following:

• Go to the Rate Management page and access the Exceptions tab.
• Click on any day in the calendar to open a settings pane.
• Enter your weekday and weekend rates, regardless of whether you're only configuring one.
• Select the desired timeframe for this rate configuration (e.g., upcoming months or years).
• Open the Advanced Settings section.
• Uncheck all days of the week except for the one you wish to configure—keep Sunday checked, in this case.

This ensures that the specified rate applies exclusively to Sundays.

How Weekend Rates Are Applied

In Hosthub's Rate Management, the weekend rate applies to Friday and Saturday, while the weekday rate applies to Sunday. For example, if you set weekend = 100 and weekday = 90, you will see Friday 100, Saturday 100, and Sunday 90.

If you want Saturday at the weekend rate but Sunday at the weekday rate only (or a specific rate for Sundays), create a custom exception: go to Rate Management → Exceptions → View all exceptions, set an exception for the Sundays, and uncheck all other days in Advanced Settings so only Sunday is affected.

Editing Fees When Integrated with PriceLabs

If the Edit option in Rate Management (for example, the Extra Guest fee) is greyed out, the rental is likely integrated with PriceLabs. In that case, pricing and the per-person extra fee must be set within the PriceLabs application, not in Hosthub. Once updated in PriceLabs, the values sync back to Hosthub.

FAQs on Common Rate Setting Scenarios

• Can I set a unique rate for holidays or special events? Yes, use the Exceptions tab to configure rates for specific dates.
• How do I ensure platform-specific rates work accurately? Hosthub manages rates across most platforms, but verify platform-specific configurations (e.g., discounts on Booking.com).
