Little Hotelier makes it easy to manage your rooms and rates across all your connected channels.
Understanding your setup
Your rooms and rates setup consists of:
Room types
Rate plans
Room rates
Channel room rates
Room types
A room type is a category of rooms that share similar characteristics, such as the type of room (standard or deluxe), number of occupants allowed, bed type and room views.
Common room types include:
Single room
Double room
Family room
Accessible room
Studio
Apartment
To create or manage room types:
Navigate to Rooms and rates > Room types
Follow the on-screen instructions to add or edit room types
Rate plans
Rate plans help you sell your rooms in different ways to attract more guests.
Common rate plans include:
Standard rates that offer flexible booking terms
Non-refundable rates at a discounted price
Breakfast included rates for guests who want meal options
Advance purchase rates for early bookers
Extended stay rates with minimum night requirements
To create or manage rate plans:
Navigate to Rooms and rates > Rate plans
Follow the on-screen instructions to add or edit rate plans
Creating derived rate plans
You can create discounted rate plans by deriving rates from another rate plan:
Example 1: Derive a non-refundable rate plan from your standard rate plan with a 15% discount
Example 2: Create a breakfast included rate plan linked to your standard rate plan with an additional $20 per night
Room rates
A room rate is created when you assign a rate plan to a room type. For example, when you assign your breakfast included rate plan to your double room type, this creates a room rate called Double room, Breakfast included.
Your room rate automatically includes:
Occupancy settings from the room type
Pricing and restrictions from the rate plan
Any inclusions from the rate plan
You can override settings for individual room rates if needed.
To create or manage room rates:
Navigate to Rooms and rates > Rate plans
Select a rate plan to create or modify room rates
Channel room rates
When you map a room rate to a channel, this creates a “channel room rate”. This mapping ensures your inventory is distributed across your connect booking channels.
To manage your channel room rates:
Navigate to Distribution > Channels
Click the ellipsis button (three dots button) next to the channel
Select Edit room rates mapping
This will take you to the channel’s Room rates mapping page — the central place to manage your mapping and channel room rate configuration
From this page you can:
Map new room rates to the channel
Update settings for existing mapped channel room rates
Check which rates are mapped/unmapped, or enabled/disabled
You can also view your mapped channel rates in Distribution > Inventory by clicking the channel's down arrow.
