The ability to edit room rates is crucial for maintaining accurate pricing and reflecting changes in market conditions, hotel policies, or special promotions.

Reasons for Editing Room Rates:

• Special Promotions and Offers:

  • To attract bookings, hotels may offer special rates for specific periods, such as holiday promotions, weekend deals, or loyalty program discounts.

• Changes in Hotel Policies:

  • If a hotel modifies its pricing structure, such as adding or removing service fees, changing breakfast inclusion, or adjusting extra bed charges, the room rates must be updated.

• Correction of Errors:

  • Occasionally, errors may occur during the initial rate entry. Editing allows for the correction of these errors, ensuring accurate pricing.

Implications of Editing Room Rates:

• New Bookings Only:

  • It's essential to understand that edited room rates typically apply only to new bookings made after the changes are saved.

  • Existing bookings made at the previous rates are generally unaffected, honoring the original agreement.

• Rate Consistency:

  • When editing rates, it's crucial to maintain consistency across all related rate components (e.g., room rate, extra bed, breakfast, service fees).

• Contractual Compliance:

  • Any rate changes must remain compliant with the terms and conditions outlined in the hotel's contracts with booking platforms or travel agencies.
