Managing service charges: an overview
Add extra charges, included services and a security deposit to your accommodation’s cost overview.
Which amounts belong under service charges?
Set the rental amount under Rates. Under Service charges, add separate components such as final cleaning, breakfast, bed linen, tourist tax or a security deposit. You can make a service mandatory, offer it as an optional extra or show that it is already included in the price.
Every service has a charge type that determines how Homadu calculates it. A per-stay amount is charged once; a per-person-per-night amount depends on both the travel party and stay length. Choose the correct charge type before entering an amount.
Add or edit a service
- Choose the right accommodation at the top left and open Service charges in its management area.
- Click Add service, choose the charge type and enter the name and an optional description in the languages you use.
- Enter the price, any quantities and the desired validity period. Where available, decide whether the service is mandatory.
- Save. For an existing service, open its actions to edit or delete it.
Check what your guest sees
Select a stay and the correct travel party on your website. Check the cost overview and also go to the booking page to view optional extras and quantities. A security deposit is separate from the normal stay charges. An included service is displayed without adding an extra amount.
Changing your service charges does not automatically rewrite the saved costs of existing bookings. Check an existing booking separately if you change its arrangements.
