This program allows us to add, edit, and delete room types also called accommodation/room types.
A hotel/resort divides the room types into classifications like "Superior", "DeLuxe", "Suite" etc. Rooms within the same size, bed type, amenities, etc belong in the same Accommodation. The price of the room usually is based on room type.
Each room type has a number of criteria:
- How many beds fit in the room, including extra beds.
- How people are allowed to stay in the room, kids, and adults together.
Remarks: Adding a new record affects all properties within the group. This means adding new records is all, editing and deleting is per property
To Add
- Accommodation: Enter the name of the accommodation. Our advice, If the property has a different bed type in one accommodation type, it should be segregated based on the type of bed.
E.g. Deluxe King, Deluxe Twin, Superior King, Superior Twin
2. Code: Give the accommodation name a code.
E.g. DXK, DXT, SPK, SPT
3. Description: Write a full description of each accommodation. This description will also appear in your own booking engine.
4. Recipe: The user must create a recipe in the recipe program (RECIPE MANUAL) for the amenity sets. Link the recipe created on each accommodation.
5. Rating: This will be the ranking of the accommodation. The lowest rating will be displayed as the first one in your booking engine, accommodation forecast, room statistics & rate code. It is also used if the setting is auto room assign ='y'.
6. Extra Bed: The number of extra bed that is allowed in the room.
7. Max. Pax (Main Program): Is the total number of pax allowed in the room without taking extra beds into consideration.
8. Configuration: The based Pax refers to the calculation in the rate code. This will be the basis of the rate code as the default number of pax.
If this is the Configuration
Main Program:
Extra Bed 1, Max Pax 4
| Extra Bed | Max Pax |
|---|---|
| 1 | 4 |
Configuration:
Adults Base 2, Max 3, Children max 3, (the base pax for child and baby is not editable)
| Age group | Base Pax | Max Pax |
|---|---|---|
| Adult | 2 | 3 |
| Child | 3 | |
| Baby |
The above means that during the reservation the following combinations would be possible:
- 3 adults
- 3 adults + 1 child
- 2 adults
- 2 adults + 1 child
- 2 adults + 2 children
Not possible is 3 adults + 2 children or 3 adults + 3 children.
This also means that the max pax in the main program must be <= (lower equal) than the total adult+child+baby in the pop up (configuration)
