Fee limitation
Extra person fees can only be applied per night, not per stay.
As a workaround, you can manually add the extra person fee to charge per stay under additional fees. However, be aware that it will need to be added manually to each reservation where applicable.
Changing a reservation's dates
- When the check-in or check-out date of a reservation is changed in Guesty, the reservation is recalculated for the whole new stay. The extra person fee is then applied to every night of the stay, not only to the added night(s), and the account markup is applied on top of it.
- On a channel booking, the original reservation may not show the fee at all, because the channel sent its own prices. The fee can first appear after the dates are changed in Guesty.
Tip:
Example: A listing includes 4 guests and charges $12.00 per extra guest per night, with a 15% account markup. A reservation with 7 guests has 3 extra guests. The nightly fee is (3 x $12.00) + 15% markup = $41.40 (shown as $42.00 per night after rounding). Over a 5-night stay, the total fee is $210.00.
Channel limitations
The extra guest fee cannot be configured per booking channel, it will be updated in all connected booking channels.
How the extra fee is applied for adults vs children or infants can vary and is dependent on each channel.
The charge for each additional guest must be set between USD 5 and USD 300.
For reservations made through the Guesty Booking Website, the extra person fee is applied for adults only. To charge each child and infant as adult, update the final price calculation in booking settings.
