How to set occupancy adjustment based on age categories
To set your occupancy adjustment based on your age categories:
- In Mews Operations, go to the main menu
> Settings > Services.
- Choose your bookable service, for example, Stay.
- Scroll down and click on Rates.
- Click on a rate, for example, Flexible rate.
- Click on the Pricing tab. Then, click on the Base price of your rate. This opens a side screen to display the price properties for the rate.
-
Click on the Age categories tab to enter
- Standard occupancy and
- Extra occupancy prices, for the age categories you have set in the system and click Update.
- When entering the Standard occupancy field, input a negative value to discount the Age category within the space's standard capacity, while
- For the Extra occupancy, input a value to adjust the Age category within the space's extra capacity.
How age category adjustments work in Mews
If you do not specify the adjustments for an age category, Mews assigns the “Adult” rates for products and services to those age categories.- When assigning extra occupancy, Mews assigns the age category with the cheapest extra occupancy adjustment first, and
- Assigns the remaining guests to the standard occupancy with their standard occupancy prices.
Note: If you wish to set a particular age category for free, for example, “Infant”, then you need to make sure that the value in the Standard occupancy field for that age category is the same as the value in the Negative occupancy adjustment field in the Adjustments tab.
Examples
-
Consider a standard room with a Fully flexible rate of 200 euro and a max occupancy of four. Assuming there’s a standard occupancy of “-5” euro for a child, for a reservation with two adults and two children, Mews calculates the price as follows:
Total price = Fully Flexible Rate + Standard occupancy for 2 children = 200 + (2 x -5) = 190 euro.
-
Another example of a Triple occupancy room for the same rate with a max occupancy of five. For a reservation with two adults, and a:
- Teenager with a standard occupancy of “–5" and extra occupancy adjustment "20",
- Child with extra occupancy adjustment of “10” and
- Infant with extra occupancy adjustment of “0”.
Mews calculates the price as follows:
Total price = Fully Flexible Rate + (Extra occupancy adjustment for 1 Infant) + (Extra occupancy adjustment for 1 Child) + (Standard occupancy for 1 Teenager) = 200 + (1 x 0) + (1 x 10) + (1 x -5) = 205 euro. Note: Mews considers the cheaper Child extra occupancy adjustment and assigns the Teenager age category to standard occupancy.
- An example for a Family room with maximum occupancy of two adults and two children for the same rate. For a reservation with one adult and two children, with:
- Negative occupancy adjustment of “-20” and
- Child with standard occupancy of “-5”.
Total price = Fully Flexible rate - Negative occupancy adjustment for 1 adult + 2 x Standard occupancy for Child = 200 – 20 + (2 x –5) = 170 euro.
