Length of Stay Pricing Adjustments

Length of Stay Pricing Adjustments

Length of Stay (LOS) Pricing is a flexible pricing strategy that adjusts the nightly rate based on how long a guest is planning to stay. This customization allows you to apply a percentage-based premium or discount on the final recommended price after all other customizations have been applied.

Before You Start

  1. This customization is only available to listings syncing with selected PMSs. To see if this feature is available to you, please see: Availability.
  2. We are constantly adding support for more PMSs. If yours isn’t listed, please reach out to us!

Common Use Cases

  • You want to accept shorter bookings at higher rates
    • e.g., 1-night stays at a 30% premium, 2-night stays at a 10% premium
  • You want to encourage longer bookings with tiered discounts
    • e.g., 7+ nights = 10% off, 14+ nights = 15% off

Note: In many PMSs, weekly and monthly discounts can be used for this too. PriceLabs also supports these if LOS pricing isn't available — just write to us to enable.

How to Set Up LOS Pricing Adjustments

  1. Go to your Pricing Dashboard, then click "Review Prices" for the listing.
  2. Click "Edit Customizations".
  3. Under the All Customizations tab, select "Length of Stay Pricing".
  4. Enable the Length of Stay Pricing Adjustments toggle.
  5. Click "Edit Adjustments".
  6. Set your desired pricing rules.
  7. Click "Update Changes" when you're done.
  8. Click Save Changes.

Setting Rules: Best Practices & Limitations

  • All fields for Premium/Discount are required (same goes if using Min/Max Price).
  • Stay length logic uses "greater than or equal to":
    • For example, if first row is “≥ 1”, and second row is “≥ 5”, the first row covers nights 1–4.
  • Longer stays must not have higher premiums:
    • Not allowed: 2 nights = 20% premium, 3 nights = 25% premium
    • Allowed: 2 nights = 25% premium, 3 nights = 20% premium
  • This customization is applied on top of other price customizations.

PMS-Specific Notes

SuperControl

  1. LOS premiums/discounts can only be set in PriceLabs for up to 7 nights. Once set, we will push these prices to SuperControl as Short Break Pricing. It will automatically disable the daily pricing and also activate Short Break Pricing for the listing in SuperControl.
  2. Any LOS rules set for >7 nights will be ignored.
  3. For any >7 nights bookings, SuperControl will calculate the prices for the extra nights depending on the settings. It can be pro-rated OR the full LOS price for the extra nights, depending on the property settings. There is a checkbox in the main property settings for this option.
  4. If LOS is disabled, the next sync will push daily prices for the listing and it will automatically switch the listing back to daily prices. So if you want to immediately turn daily pricing ON for a listing, then after disabling LOS in PriceLabs, click on "Sync Now" to turn daily pricing ON or manually do so directly in SuperControl.
