Lengths of stay determine the number of nights for which a rate applies. For example, you can create a length of stay for a weekend, midweek, or week and then use it when setting up your rates.
A length of stay can also have a fixed arrival day. For example, you can set up a 4-night midweek stay starting on Monday.
Set up a length of stay
Click New length of stay or open an existing stay duration by clicking Edit.
Enter the description, number of nights, and optional arrival day.
Click Save Changes.
Use lengths of stay for rates
After creating a length of stay, you can use it when setting up rates. This allows you to set a fixed price for a week, midweek, or weekend, for example. For more information, see the knowledge base article Rate per week, midweek or weekend.
Common lengths of stay include:
Description | Number of nights | Arrival day |
Weekend | 2 nights | Friday |
Midweek | 4 nights | Monday |
Week | 7 nights | No specific arrival day |
For example, if arrivals and departures are only allowed on Mondays and Fridays, a weekly rate is automatically combined with these permitted arrival and departure days.
Set different nightly rates
You can also use lengths of stay to differentiate between weekend nights and weekdays.
Description | Number of nights | Setting |
Weekend night | 1 night | Night rate is only valid on weekends |
Midweek night | 1 night | Night rate is only valid on weekdays |
This allows you to charge a higher nightly rate at the weekend than on weekdays, for example.
Would you like to use different rates for weekend nights? See the knowledge base article Nightly rate with a different weekend rate.
