Hosthub’s calendar and multicalendar tools allow property managers to easily adjust nightly rates for selected dates. With our enhanced rate change options, you can now set prices using a fixed value, a percentage change, or an amount change—making bulk updates even more flexible and powerful.
When to Use Rate Changes
You might want to update prices for a range of dates due to seasonality, special events, or changes in demand. Hosthub makes this process seamless for users who manage rates manually (not connected to dynamic pricing tools like Pricelabs, Beyond Pricing etc).
How to Change Prices
Log in to your Hosthub account.
Navigate to the Calendar or Multicalendar view.
Select the date range you want to update.
Click Change rates.
You’ll see a form for updating your rates. In the price setting selection, you can choose from three options:
1. Set fixed price
What it does: Sets the nightly rate to a fixed amount for each selected day.
How to use: Enter your desired nightly price.
Example:
If you enter $100, all selected nights will be priced at $100.
2. Increase by percentage
What it does: Increases the current nightly price by a specified percentage.
How to use: Enter the percentage to adjust by (positive value only).
How it works:
Formula: New daily price = Current daily price × (1 + percentage as a decimal)
Example:
Entering 50%: New daily price = Current daily price × (1 + 0.5)
If current price is $100, new price will be $150.
3. Decrease by percentage
What it does: Decreases the current nightly price by a specified percentage.
How to use: Enter the percentage to adjust by (positive value only).
How it works:
Formula: New daily price = Current daily price × (1 - percentage as a decimal)
Example:
Entering -25%: New daily price = Current daily price × (1 - 0.25)
If current price is $100, new price will be $75.
4. Increase by fixed amount
What it does: Adds a specific amount to the current nightly price.
How to use: Enter the amount to adjust by (positive amount only).
How it works:
Formula: New daily price = Current daily price + amount change
Example:
Entering 5: If current price is $100, new price will be $105.
5. Decrease by fixed amount
What it does: Subtracts a specific amount from the current nightly price.
How to use: Enter the amount to adjust by (positive amount only).
How it works:
Formula: New daily price = Current daily price - amount change
Example:
Entering -10: If current price is $100, new price will be $90.
Notes & Best Practices
Fixed price changes override all previous rates for the selected dates.
Percentage and amount changes are applied based on the current nightly price for each day in the selected range.
Double-check your selected dates before applying changes, especially during high-demand periods.
