OBP (occupancy based pricing) requirements and important details
The occupancy based pricing setting can only be enabled by our support team, please contact us.
Channels you're connected to must support OBP pricing setting
Not all channels support complete OBP functionality - some only handle basic occupancy variations
Your channel extranet settings (pricing model) and setup must match your Little Hotelier room rate configuration (included occupancy, maximum occupancy, etc.)
Little Hotelier supports up to 5 occupants in the inventory grid - for rooms with higher maximum occupancy, the system calculates pricing by adding extra adult charges to the 5-occupant rate
If no included occupancy is set, the system defaults to 2 occupants
How do I switch my pricing model between OBP and PDP?
Your pricing model in the channel (such as Booking.com or Expedia) must match your Little Hotelier setting. To change your pricing model:
Change the pricing model on the channel side. For some channels, you'll need to request a pricing model change directly with the channel. For Booking.com, contact our support team. We can coordinate the pricing model change with Booking.com on your behalf.
Update your Little Hotelier configuration. Contact our support team to update your Little Hotelier configuration to match the channel pricing model.
⚠️ Rates will not sync correctly until both the channel and your Little Hotelier configuration are updated with matching pricing models.
Setting up occupancy based pricing for Direct Booking
You can manage occupancy-based pricing for Direct Booking by setting an Included occupancy and an Extra adult rate on your room rate. The Extra adult rate is added on top of the base price for each additional guest above the included occupancy.
To set up occupancy based pricing for Direct Booking:
Go to Rooms and rates > Rate plans.
Click the down arrow next to the rate plan to view associated room rates.
Click on the room rate you want to update and select Edit.
Update the Included occupancy, Maximum occupancy, Extra adult rate, and Extra child rate fields.
Click Save.
💡 Set the Included occupancy to match the number of guests covered by your base price. The Extra adult rate is then added for each additional guest above this number.
➕ For example, if your base price covers one guest and your Extra adult rate is AUD 50, a room with a maximum occupancy of three would be priced as follows:
Two guests = base price + AUD 50
Three guests = base price + AUD 50 + AUD 50
