The Rate Wizard guides you through your property's pricing in three steps: a base rate, a weekend markup, and seasonal pricing. You need rates before you can map the property to a booking channel.

Set your rates in the Rate Wizard
Step 1: Open the Rate Wizard
On Home, select Set rates on the property's card.
Step 2: Set your base rate
Enter these details for the property:
Base rate per night: Enter your quiet-night price, which is a normal weeknight outside high season. Hosperly adds weekends, seasons, and channel markups on top of it in the next steps.
Minimum stay (nights) and Maximum stay (nights): Enter the fewest and the most nights a guest can book.
Extra guest fee per night: Enter the fee for each guest above the included number. This field appears only if you price the property per guest.
A price preview shows what guests will pay. When you're done, select Continue.
⚠️ Important: Use your real price. This is the rate your booking channels receive.
Step 3: Add a weekend markup
Choose how weekends are priced:
Weekend days: Choose which days count as weekends. Saturday and Sunday are selected by default.
Markup: Enter the percentage to add to your base rate on those nights. The preview shows the price guests will pay.
No weekend markup: If you charge the same price all week, select No weekend premium.
Select Continue.
Step 4: Add seasonal pricing
Add a season for each period when your price changes, such as summer or a holiday. If your price is the same all year, select Same price all year and skip to saving.
Select Add a season.
Choose how to add it:
Create new: Name the season, pick its date range, and enter its adjustment to your base rate, for example +30% for July and August.
Use existing: Reuse a season you already set up on another property.
Repeat for every season you need.
⚠️ Important: If your price varies by season, add at least one season before you save. Otherwise, select Same price all year.
Step 5: Save your rates
Select Save rates to save everything and return to Home.
If the property already has a connected channel that's waiting for rates, you'll also see Save rates and go live. It saves your rates and activates the channel in one step. You don't need it in most cases, because a channel you connect after setting your rates goes live automatically.
How do I change my rates later?
You can change your rates at any time:
What's next?
Set your initial availability: tell Hosperly which dates are unavailable before you connect a channel.
Prepare your properties before connecting a booking channel: check that rates and availability are set.
