By Hotel

The Rental by Hotel type calculates cost based on the number of nights between the check-in date and check-out date. Unlike Rental by Day, this type uses date-only pickers (no time component), has no pickup/dropoff location routing, and counts duration in nights rather than days.

Use this type for accommodation products: hotel rooms, villas, B&Bs, holiday homes. For vehicle or equipment rentals with daily rates, use Rental by Day.

3: Pricing Settings

3.1 Price / Night

The base rate charged per night. This is the only required pricing field. All other pricing rules override or discount this value.

Field	Description
Price / Night	Standard nightly rate (e.g. 100.00). Applied when no other pricing rule matches.

3.2 Nightly pricing plan

Override the base nightly rate for specific days of the week. Useful for weekend surcharges (e.g. higher Friday/Saturday rates) or midweek discounts.

Day	Description
Monday – Sunday	Custom price per night for that weekday. Leave blank to use the base Price / Night. Meta key: daily_price[{day}] (e.g. daily_price[monday]).

Priority: Nightly pricing plan overrides the base Price / Night, but is itself overridden by Special time (ST) when an ST period is active.

3.3 Global discount (GD)

Apply a discounted nightly rate when the stay length falls within a defined range. Perfect for long-stay discounts (e.g. 7+ nights at a lower rate).

Column	Meta key	Description
Price / Night	global_discount_price[]	Discounted rate per night for this tier.
From (number)	global_discount_duration_val_min[]	Minimum number of nights to trigger this discount.
To (number)	global_discount_duration_val_max[]	Maximum number of nights for this discount tier.
Duration	global_discount_duration_type[]	Fixed to Night(s) for Rental by Hotel.

GD is not applied during Special time (ST) periods. ST uses its own DST (Discount in Special Time) instead.

3.4 Special time (ST)

Define date ranges with a custom nightly rate. When a booking overlaps a special period, the ST price is used instead of the base price or nightly pricing plan.

Hotel difference: Both Start Date and End Date use a date-only picker (no time component), unlike Rental by Day which uses datetime pickers.

Column	Meta key	Description
Price / Night	rt_price[]	Special nightly rate during this period.
Start Date	rt_startdate[]	First date the special rate becomes active (date-only).
End Date	rt_enddate[]	Last date the special rate is active (date-only).
DST – Price / Night	rt_discount[i][price][]	Discounted nightly rate during the ST window for qualifying stay lengths.
DST – From (nights)	rt_discount[i][min][]	Minimum nights to trigger DST.
DST – To (nights)	rt_discount[i][max][]	Maximum nights for DST tier.
DST – Duration	rt_discount[i][duration_type][]	Fixed to Night(s).

Note: ST does not use Global Discount (GD). It uses its own DST (Discount in Special Time) instead. Always fill in DST if you want duration discounts during seasonal periods.

3.5 🏆Pricing Priority

When multiple pricing rules apply to the same stay, BRW uses the following priority (highest wins):

> > >

Example: A Christmas stay (Dec 24 – Jan 2) with ST = $180/night overrides both the weekend nightly plan and GD weekly discount. All 9 nights are charged at $180.
