Rate Mixing

The system should be able to propose the cheapest rate possible to our guests (like booking.com does). Mixing the rates to offer the best deal is a guarantee to compete better against booking.com. Not mixing the rates allows booking.com to steal bookings from us. Exemple: you activate a Last Minute deal on the next 48h. A guest want to arrive today and stay for 3 days. On booking.com, he will see a rate mixed from the last minute rate (for the 2 first nights) and from another rate for the 3d night. On our booking engine, you will see either no rate at all either a rate that is more expensive than the mix of the last minute rate + another one.

Hey community!


I'm happy to announce that this feature is something we'll be looking into throughout 2025 👏


If you're interested in talking to us about this functionality and what you expect from it, please, use this community link and send me a direct message. We'll plan out when to talk about the initiative in detail and what will be the timeframe 🎉

    Possibility to reserve differente rate code for one or several date in one reservation.

  • [Deleted User] commented  ·   ·  Report

    We need to have the capability to have multiple rates to a reservation. Example, a weekday guest may book a BAR rate but wants to book a special promo rate on the weekend. Currently, the solution is to book two separate reservations or extend the existing reservation and make manual adjustments on specific days. This is a manual process and would like to see this automated.

    sometimes we need to split the nightly rate as guests may wish to part-pay the amount (i.e. company pays for most of it, but guest pays for supplement).
    currently you are only able to do this in advance by posting the supplement separately.
    it would be handy if in retrospect you are able to split the nightly rate for some or all nights and allocate it to a new bill

  • Simone Steins commented  ·   ·  Report

    we sometimes have guest who extend an existing booking. where their company was paying for the invoice and thus on a company rate, the extension would be for the guest and on a different rate.
    currently we need to make a new booking, which is confusing for several departments like housekeeping but also effects our statistics for length of stay.
    any chance we could manage this by adding a different rate for a specific time period.
    please note, it is not feasible to change the rate on the day as this might get missed and thus creating errors

    Would be good to have the ability to have a mid - stay rate change.
    For example New Years eve package and additional nights on a BB rate. Currently have to make two separate reservations?

  • Liset Bom commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes please!! It would be very very very convenient with creating room keys as well.

  • Luigi Orsini commented  ·   ·  Report

    Also with Booking.com bookings more rates with different policies are possible, like Fully Flex and Nonrefundable in one room-reservation. At this moment this results in MEWS in 1 reservation with 1 rate type (the rate of the first night at Booking.com) for the whole reservation.

    Please implement this feature, not being able to do such a simple thing is ridiculous.

  • Alex Davis commented  ·   ·  Report

    Helpful as well with LOS reporting where it keeps bookings together.

  • K Herman commented  ·   ·  Report

    As guests create their bookings, sometimes they may be eligible to apply multiple rates, which would give them a better total price than selecting only one rate for the duration of their stay. Currently, the booking would've had to be split in order to apply both rates, however by introducing a rate blending feature, it would be possible to apply rates per night, which enables multiple pricing schemes for a single reservation.
