Managing Guest Fees and Whole-Apartment Pricing in Hosthub

Hosthub’s Rate Management tool allows users to effectively manage extra guest fees and provide whole-apartment pricing across multiple channels. Follow this guide for step-by-step instructions on how to adjust pricing based on your specific requirements.

Hosthub’s integration with tools like PriceLabs or Beyond Pricing, allows automatic management and synchronization of extra guest fees, ensuring accurate pricing across platforms. Notably, PriceLabs locks extra guest fee settings in Hosthub to avoid conflicts and streamline rate syncing.

Setting Up Variable Pricing for Extra Guests

If you want to charge extra fees for additional guests, Hosthub provides an intuitive way to configure this:

• Set Maximum Guest Capacity: Ensure your rental’s maximum guest capacity is higher than the base number of guests covered by your standard rate. For example, if your base rate covers 1-2 guests, set the maximum capacity to 3 or more.
• Add an Extra Fee: Navigate to the Rate Management section in Hosthub. Specify an additional fee per night for guests exceeding the base number. For instance, you can set the extra fee to apply starting from the third guest onward.
• Synchronization Across Platforms: Once the fee is set, Hosthub will automatically synchronize it with your connected booking platforms (e.g., Airbnb, Booking.com, and Expedia). This ensures pricing consistency across all platforms.

This setup not only allows for dynamic adjustments based on occupancy but also ensures you receive appropriate compensation for all additional guests.

Removing Additional Charges for Guests

In some cases, you may prefer not to charge extra fees for additional guests and would like to provide a flat rate. Here's how to remove those charges:

• Access the Rate Management section of your Hosthub account.
• Deactivate or remove the setting for additional guest fees. This ensures that your pricing reflects the total cost for the entire apartment without any added charges for guest count.

It’s important to note that if you are using integrations such as PriceLabs or Beyond Pricing, changes to the extra guest cost must be configured in PriceLabs/Beyond pricing directly. This synchronization ensures that your rates are updated across all connected platforms.

When PriceLabs or Beyond Pricing integration is active, it locks the extra guest fee settings in Hosthub to prevent manual changes that might disrupt synchronization. Always manage these fees directly through PriceLabs to ensure consistency.

Ensuring Pricing Alignment Across Platforms (e.g., MotoPress and WordPress)

Hosthub also enables users to synchronize pricing and extra guest charges with their associated websites:

• When working with integrations like MotoPress, configure the guest fee settings in Hosthub’s Rate Management. Hosthub will automatically send the updated rates, including any extra guest fees, to your MotoPress website.
• Avoid modifying guest fees directly in third-party platforms or directly on WordPress websites. For best results, always manage your pricing exclusively through Hosthub to ensure proper synchronization and avoid rate inconsistencies.

Additional Tips for Price Management

• Start by setting a clear baseline rate before adding any extra guest fees.
• Regularly check synchronization status to ensure there are no discrepancies across platforms.
• Use Hosthub’s reporting tools to monitor booking trends and assess the impact of extra guest fees on revenue.
• Verify multi-night bookings to ensure cumulative charges align with expected total pricing.
• Avoid manual adjustments to extra fees in Hosthub when using external tools like PriceLabs or Beyond Procing; this ensures synchronization accuracy.

Hosthub’s robust Rate Management ensures that you can handle all aspects of guest pricing—from extra fees to flat-rate scenarios—seamlessly and with full synchronization across channels. Whether managing an entire apartment rate or tailoring prices to guest numbers, this tool ensures your listings remain competitive and accurately priced.

Additionally, ensure multi-platform consistency by regularly checking rate synchronization from both Hosthub and external tools like PriceLabs or Beyond Pricing to maintain competitive and transparent pricing.
