Pricing Models on Booking.com

Altogether, there are 3 possible pricing models applicable in your Booking.com account:
- Standard pricing

- Occupancy-based pricing ( OBP ) 

- Lenght of Stay pricing ( LOS ) 

SabeeApp supports two pricing models of the possible three:

    • Standard pricing
    • Occupancy-based pricing (OBP)
Standard pricing (Supported by SabeeApp)

With Standard pricing, you can set one rate for a room, regardless of its occupancy and length of stay.

However, you can further boost performance by adopting Solo rates. This means for the same double room (max. occupancy of 2 guests), you could set a reduced price for 1 guest in Booking.com extranet and appeal to solo travellers searching for a place to stay.

When standard pricing is set up on Booking.com, SabeeApp sends only one occupancy price to Booking.com. This means that, for example, in the case of a double room, if the 2-person price is paired with SabeeApp, only the 2-person price will be sent. The 1-person price, in this case, can only be configured in the Booking.com extranet.

 

Occupancy-based pricing (OBP) (Supported by SabeeApp)

With this model, you can set prices based on how many guests will stay. So a quadruple room that accommodates max. 4 guests can have different rates for 4, 3 and 2 guests.

OBP offers guests the best value and helps properties to be flexible and maximise conversion. 

If we stick with the Quadruple room example, when this room type is connected from your SabeeApp account to Booking.com, SabeeApp channel manager will send up the 1,2,3, and 4 person occupancy prices as well set up in your SabeeApp's Pricing menu. 

 

Length of Stay (LOS) (Not supported by SabeeApp)

This model allows you to set prices based on how many nights a guest stays – the longer the stay, the better the rate. For example, if the regular rate for 1 night is 0, you could create another rate that is 10% cheaper for each additional night booked. So, 2 nights would cost 0 (0 for the first night + for the second night), 3 nights would cost 1 (0 for the first night + for the second night + for the third night).
