Pricing and reservations for multiple occupancy

[Mary152]

Hi everyone. we're new to Air BnB and experiencing some confusion around pricing and reservations. We have two rooms - some visitors expect the room rate to be for both rooms and not as a rate per room. I can't find anywhere that allows me to show it is per room - can anyone help? I also need to know if the calendar will show blocked on only one room reservation? All a bit woolly! Many thanks for any help anyone can offer. Mary

Hi Mary,

Welcome to Airbnb!

I too have thought about how this could work in the Airbnb platform. I believe that the best way is to have two listings- one for each room. In the title or description, you can mention that it's renting a room. That way, all of your requests will be separate and can be controlled on independent calendars.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

Hi Kayne,

Sorry to bother you but I was just reading your response to Mary and I'm having this very same difficulty too. I've had many families want to book my 3 rooms that are available and end up getting the price only for one room thinking they're getting a real bargain and when I explain it to them, I lose the booking every time.

If we do separate listings for each room then a family has to go into the 3 different sites, 3 times and book 3 separate bookings - there must be another less complicated way for them/us to see the calendar's in one place and know straight away the availability and pricing. Otherwise it puts people off completely.

I know this is not your problem but you're the only one that I can see answered the same question/problem I have too. 😞

I'm brand new to this and just can't figure it all out. Is there a number for help to call or do we just have to fumble around in the dark! lol

Most sincerely,

Lee

You need to make a new listing which is for all the rooms. 

In my previous house I rented out 3 different bedrooms.

I had a listing for each room seperately, plus one listing for all three rooms together for bigger groups up to 7 guests.

But then if someone books all the rooms together... do u have to quickly mark off the individual. Rooms so no double booking occurs???

You would do it before you accepted.
