Getting started with costs

Costs/extras for reservations can be mandatory costs that apply on top of the base rent, or optional add-ons that are available to your guests to get the most out of their stay.

Optional cost items can be breakfast, bicycle rental, late check-out or access to special amenities such as a gym, pool or spa. Mandatory cost items can be a cleaning fee, tourist tax, or a pet fee.

Creating costs

There are many calculation and application settings for a cost item. It is therefore recommended to read through the options and think about the goals for your cost items before starting to create them.

Preference costs and linking costs to amenities

It is possible to create a fee that only applies when a guest books a specific object rather than a type, or when a guest books a specific amenity. This requires you to select certain settings when creating a cost item.

Inventory management in cost items

For optional add-ons that you only have a limited number of, you can set up inventory management in the cost item. This will ensure that this cost item can no longer be added to a reservation once your inventory runs out.
