The advantage of this distribution is that you only need to configure these rates once per year. Afterward, you remain flexible to adjust prices on a weekly basis, for example in the case of last-minute bookings, high or low occupancy, etc. Weekend, midweek, and/or nightly rates are adjusted proportionally to the period. Please note that rental prices are separate from additional costs such as cleaning, reservation fees, bed linen, etc.
