Hosted Websites Rates Display

By default, your Hosted Website will automatically display a summary of your general rates for each property.

It's not possible to display your detailed rates because OwnerRez allows a very complex hierarchy of rate controls that people would find confusing. Don't worry; when guests request a quote for specific dates, the correct rates will be calculated and displayed based on all your Seasons, Rules, and Spot Rates.

However, guests like a general guideline for how costly your properties are, and OwnerRez attempts to give that to them based on the rates you've entered.

Property Rate Settings Override

OwnerRez displays a price range for your property, consisting of your lowest and highest range.  Depending on your market, though, this range might be enormous, between the depth of low season and your highest peak holiday rate.  Guests might find this confusing.

You can override OwnerRez's guess at your rate range, by navigating to Properties > specific Property > General Info > Change > Calculation Overrides and manually setting the Nightly Rate Min and Max. Click Save.

When the defaulted Calculate Stay Totals is selected, any percentage surcharges (e.g., credit card fees, etc.) will also be included in the rates displayed.

Availability/Property Widget Rates Calculations

Potential guests won't be able to see any discounts, surcharges, or taxes until they complete a search for specific dates, but once the total is displayed, any surcharges or discounts will be displayed if they are categorized as rent.

By default, the nightly rates, as set in the pricing preferences, are displayed when no search criteria are entered, or when the option to show stay totals is turned off. No calculations are performed, and no discounts/surcharges are included or displayed.

When the potential guest completes a search for their travel dates, stay totals are calculated as follows.

  • The total will include everything except taxes.
  • The nightly rate includes rent and any discounts or surcharges that are categorized as rent.
  • The total does not include taxes or surcharges/discounts that are not categorized as rent.

Hide Rates

Multi-property Hosted Website Users can hide rate displays by following the instructions on the Availability/Property Search Widget Rates or the Hosted Website Availability/Property Widget Rates sections and select Hide Rates.

While not generally recommended by OwnerRez, tech-savvy users can hide rates displayed on their website by following the CSS Magic instructions.
