Using weekend, midweek and weekly packages
Give suitable stays a fixed package price and understand when Homadu applies a package.
Which packages are available?
- Weekend: Friday to Sunday, two nights.
- Long weekend: Friday to Monday, three nights.
- Midweek: Monday to Friday, four nights.
- Week: seven nights; two weeks: fourteen nights; three weeks: twenty-one nights.
A package is a total price for the relevant number of nights. For a weekly price of €490, enter 490.00, rather than the nightly average of €70.
Set up packages
- Open Accommodations > Rates and edit the standard rate or an existing period rate.
- Enter total prices for the packages you want to use. Leave unused packages empty.
- Check that the minimum stay and arrival and departure days allow the intended stay.
- Save and test the corresponding dates on your rental website.
How does Homadu combine prices?
Homadu first applies a matching longer package, such as three, two or one week. A matching midweek, long weekend, weekend or individual nights can follow. The calendar days must match for the shorter packages. The system uses a defined package calculation; it does not compare every conceivable combination to find the absolute lowest price.
For eight nights within the same price schedule, a weekly price of €490 can be combined with an individual night of €80: €570 altogether. A package cannot continue across a transition to different applicable prices. If prices are identical on both sides, that administrative period boundary does not have to interrupt the package.
A package does not set a minimum stay. To offer only weekly stays, set the stay length and permitted changeover days separately.
