How to set up occupancy based pricing (OBP)

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

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:

  1. Go to Rooms and rates > Rate plans.

  2. Click the down arrow next to the rate plan to view associated room rates.

  3. Click on the room rate you want to update and select Edit.

  4. Update the Included occupancy, Maximum occupancy, Extra adult rate, and Extra child rate fields.

  5. 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
