Operating by rooms or units

Understand when to sell rooms instead of the whole property, how to register them, and why the room takes over price, capacity and pet rules.

Two ways to sell

A property can be sold in two ways:

  • Whole property — the guest books the house, the country property or the flat in full. This is the default.
  • By rooms or units — the property has several units sold separately: studios in a guesthouse, chalets on a farm, beds in a hostel.
  • The rental type appears in the property's details, in the Settings → Properties list.

    The golden rule

    When a property sells rooms, the room takes over. Price, capacity, pet policy and charging mode are configured on each room, and the property's settings are not inherited.

    That is deliberate, and it solves a real problem: a ground-floor studio and an upstairs suite do not share a price, do not fit the same people and need not accept the same animals. If the property had a say, it would erase that difference.

    How to register a room

    1. Go to Settings → Properties and open the property's rooms area.

    2. Click to create a new room.

    3. Fill in the fields and save.

    Repeat for each unit.

    What you configure on each room

    Commercial information — what the guest sees on your public link:

  • Room name (e.g. Studio 08)
  • Type and Mode — private room or shared room
  • Total beds and bathrooms
  • Capacity (guests)
  • Description
  • Calendar colour — to recognise the room at a glance
  • Charging — the same three modes as the property: per room/night, per person/night, or per room/night plus an extra-guest surcharge. See charging per person or per extra guest.

    Bed types — the bed layout for the public listing. You can give just the total or detail each type.

    Room amenities — the amenities of that unit, separate from the property's amenities.

    Room policies:

  • Has self check-in
  • Accepts pets, with the maximum number of pets
  • Pet fee, per stay
  • Shared rooms

    A room marked as shared works differently: bookings take individual beds inside it, instead of the whole room. That is the hostel model.

    What changes in the guest's search

    On your booking link, the guest picks dates and says how many people and how many pets they are bringing. Only the rooms that fit that request are shown.

    A room that does not accept the number of pets given is simply not offered — the guest does not waste time picking a unit that would be refused later.

    Per-room pricing

    Date prices, special prices, packages and seasons also become per room:

  • Packages require a linked room. A package with no room blocks those dates until it is fixed. See closed packages.
  • Seasons apply per room, and you can create the same season for several rooms at once. See seasons.
  • If the screen says seasons are unavailable for this property, it is because per-room pricing has not been enabled for it yet. Contact support.

    Early check-in and late checkout belong to the property

    Not everything moves down to the room. The Early and Late time window — and its fee — is a property rule: you set it once and it applies to bookings in every room. See early check-in and late checkout.

    Worked example

    A guesthouse with three units:

  • Studio 01 — 2 guests, accepts 2 pets, pet fee R$ 50, charged per room/night at R$ 300.
  • Studio 02 — 4 guests, no pets, charged per room/night plus a surcharge from the third guest.
  • Chalet 03 — 2 guests, accepts 1 pet with no fee, charged per person at R$ 200.
  • A guest searches for 2 people with 2 dogs. Only Studio 01 appears.

    Common mistakes

  • Setting price, capacity or pets on the property and expecting the rooms to follow. They do not.
  • Creating a package without linking a room and not noticing the dates became unbookable.
  • Forgetting to tick the room's amenities, assuming the property's are enough.
