Setting up weekly or monthly discounts

This article is relevant for:

Encourage guests to book longer stays by offering monthly or weekly length of stay discounts. 

A weekly or monthly discount will be applied in addition to ("on top of") any other adjustments made to the accommodation fare.  The calculated accommodation fare will already take into account any applied discount. In contrast, coupons and promotions will apply on top of the accommodation fare, and be shown on a separate line item in the guest folio (invoice). The accommodation fare won’t be rounded following a discount. Check this example to see how multiple revenue management and financial tools work in conjunction to adjust a reservation accommodation fare.

If you created a rate strategy and specified that rates should not be lowered past a certain percentage, be aware that rates might still be reduced past the limit you set when using length-of-stay discounts. However, a discount won’t be applied if it lowers the price per night below 10 dollars (or the equivalent price in other currencies), as this is the lowest price per night supported by Guesty after applying all discounts.

Weekly and monthly discounts are synced to Airbnb as Length of Stay "discounts". Thus:

  • Guesty's weekly or monthly discounts will override any other "discount" set in Airbnb for the same listing.
  • Airbnb considers weekly and monthly discounts the same as Length of Stay promotions. If you set a weekly or monthly discount and a Length of Stay promotion to the same listing, the promotion will override the discount.

Monthly discounts

Monthly discounts can be applied for listings connected to Airbnb, and Vrbo, and for manual and direct reservations. For Booking.com- use a promotion instead.

In the case of Airbnb and Vrbo, a monthly discount will apply to reservations for 28 nights (or above). For manual reservations and direct reservations, including the Booking Engine (Booking Website for Lite users), the discount will apply to reservations for 30 nights (or above).

Weekly discounts

Weekly discounts are applied to reservations of seven nights or more. They are synced with Airbnb, Vrbo, and direct and manual sources. For Booking.com- use a promotion instead.

Combining weekly and monthly discounts

Weekly and monthly discounts can be set on the same listing. In this case, the monthly discount (%) must be greater than, or equal to, the weekly discount (%).
