  4. While creating price-lists for accommodation, the first step is to select a price-list type.

  5. There are the following price-list types to choose from:

    1. Original (price per pax, board type inclusive): prices are calculated for an adult tourist, the board type is already included in the allocation price. Prices for allocating different tourist types on extra places are calculated from the price per an adult with the same board type and accommodation.

    2. Pensionate (price per pax, board type inclusive): prices are set per tourist, the board type is already included. Prices for allocating different tourist types on extra places are calculated from the price per the same board type for an adult on the main place.

    3. Pensionate (price per room, board type inclusive): prices are set per room independently from the number of tourists, the board type is already included. Allocation prices for different board types are calculated from the prices per basic board type of the room.

    4. Hotel (price per room, extra charge for board type): prices are set per room independently from the number of tourists. Boarding prices are set separately from allocation prices.

    5. Hotel (price per pax, extra charge for board type): prices for different board types are calculated per tourist and are set separately from the accommodation price. Allocation prices for different tourist types on extra places are calculated from prices per an adult on the main place.

    6. Hotel (price per room with multiple occupancy): prices are set for rooms with multiple occupancy and for extra person on extra bed separately from the accommodation prices with default board type.

    7. Hotel (package price per room with multiple occupancy).

    8. Hotel (price per room per allocation; extra charge for board types): it is useful for the situation when hotel provides so sophisticated price list which cannot be specified as “price per pax” or “price per room”, but instead gives all possible combinations of guests and prices for them.

  6. Click the required price-list type and click Continue. Price-list page appears:

    1. General Information;

    2. Prices.

titleExample

If you want to use different rates for work days and week-ends during one season (for example, from September 1 to December 31, 2025) you should create two price-lists with the same duration terms but configured for different days of the week.

  1. In the first price-list (for week days) you should select days from Monday to Friday and select week-ends only in the second one:

(warning)The following functionality (mathematical functions for prices calculation) is currently available via administration panel.

While adding prices, you can use fixed rates or mathematical functions. In the former case, the cell that is basic for further calculations, is highlighted in gray. When applying functions the basic rules are as follows:

  • Every new room type is considered a basic cell. The basic sell is the sell used for further calculation.

  • The price of every further board type withing the current room type is calculation the base of the default board type in the group:

  • The price for children, seniors or any other tourist categories, except from the default one (usually, adult) is calculated form the price for an adult for the same room and board type

    Image RemovedImage Added
  • The price for extra bed both for default and additional tourist categories is calculated from the price of the room type the extra bed belongs in compliance with the board type of the room:

  • Please pay attention that in case you enter the wrong data format, for example, a per cent figure into the basic cell, the system will show "error" displayed in the rate area.

titleCalculation of the total price for the whole period of stay

With GP Travel Enterprise you can calculate the total price of accommodation in two different ways depending on the accommodation unit:

  • for the whole period of stay by the price of each night: the accommodation price for the whole period of stay includes the price of every single night.

  • for the whole period of stay by the price of the first night: the accommodation price for the whole period of stay consists of the price of the first night multiplied by the number of booked nights.

Let’s examine the difference between two pricing approaches on the following example:

For example a tourist books a single room for the period from April 1 to 5. The price of every single night here is:

When the total accommodation price is calculated by addition of all nights, the total accommodation price for a tourist is calculated by addition of the prices of every night:
200 EUR + 120 EUR + 120 EUR + 120 EUR + 120 EUR = 680 EUR

If the total accommodation price is calculated by the price of the first night, the total accommodation price for a tourist is calculated by the price of the first night multiplied by the number of nights of stay:
200 EUR * 5 nights = 1000 EUR

The price calculated on this stage is displayed to a tourist on the hotel search results page. Let’s examine the way each pricing method works.

Accommodation rates displayed in the hotel search results
On the hotel search results, a tourist can see the price that is calculated according to the pricing method that you specify in the tariff.

  • If the price calculation is based on the sum of the prices for every night, the offer price is EUR 680.

  • If the price calculation is based on the price of the first night, the accommodation price for a tourist is EUR 1 000.

There also exists a possibility to set daily rates for self-operated hotels. The functionality is particularly suitable for those who offer their clients the rooms, prices of which change within the daytime. It can significantly broaden the range of the offers.
