What do room type, sharing and occupancy mean?

Room Type describes the beds. Sharing says whether a booking gets the room to itself. Maximum Occupancy caps how many guests one booking can bring, and Minimum Occupancy sets the fewest.

For retreat hosts. These are on the Details tab when you create or edit a room.

Each field

  • Room Type

    The bed layout: Single, Double (one bed for two), Twin (two separate beds), Triple, Quadruple or Dorm (several beds in one room).

  • Sharing

    Private: the booking gets the room to itself. Shared: guests may sleep alongside people outside their group, and the room is sold by the bed.

  • Maximum Occupancy

    The most guests who can sleep here, counting any extra beds. It caps a booking. It doesn't decide whether your price is per person or for the whole room.

  • Minimum Occupancy

    The fewest guests who can book a private room. Set 2 on a double so one guest can't book it alone. Leave 1 for no minimum. It doesn't apply to shared rooms.

  • This price is for

    Each person: two guests pay twice the price. The whole room or villa: one price however many stay.

How these show on your calendar

  • Under each room's name: Private or Dorm, per bed, and "sleeps N".

  • Dorm nights show how many beds are free, such as "2 free".

Common questions

  • Can a guest choose a specific bed?

    No. Guests choose a room and the number of guests.

  • Why can't I set a minimum for my dorm?

    Shared rooms are booked by the bed, so a minimum doesn't apply.
