Pricing options overview

Understanding your pricing options

Smart Pricing is our recommended way to manage your pricing. It automatically adjusts your nightly rates using live demand data. It costs nothing to use and is designed to help you attract bookings and improve revenue.

If you prefer to set prices manually, the options below explain how each method works so you can choose the one that suits your property.

Smart Pricing (recommended)

Smart Pricing updates your nightly rates automatically using market data such as demand, local events, competitor trends and booking patterns.

Why hosts choose Smart Pricing:

• Costs nothing to use.
• Helps attract bookings and improve overall revenue.
• Saves time by reducing the need to update prices manually.
• Covers the next 24 months automatically.
• Responds to changing market conditions.

For more information, see How to enable and optimise Smart Pricing.

Manual pricing periods

Manual pricing gives you full control. You set your own rates for specific dates.

This is useful if you want exact prices for weekends, holidays, events or personal availability.

For more information, see How to add and amend manual pricing.

Seasonal pricing (Generate prices)

Use Generate prices to create pricing for the next 24 months based on the seasonality pattern you choose.

This is useful if you want structured, predictable pricing without adjusting every date manually.

For more information, see How to set up pricing by seasonality using Generate prices.

Other pricing actions

Override Smart Pricing for specific dates

Set a custom price for certain nights while Smart Pricing manages the remaining dates.

For more information, see How to override and amend Smart Pricing.

Update Smart Pricing defaults

Change your base price, minimum price, minimum stay, check-in days or long-stay discounts.

Review pricing that looks too high or too low

If many dates appear at your minimum price, your minimum may be set too high.

For more information, see Overpricing when using Smart Pricing.

Choosing the right pricing option

If you are unsure which pricing option you are using, open the relevant property in your Travelnest account and review Pricing and fees. Check whether Smart Pricing is enabled or pricing periods have been set up, then choose the guide above that matches your setup

If you manage multiple properties, make sure you select the correct property before reviewing its pricing settings.
