Occupancy Rule – Dynamic Pricing Based on Real-Time Demand
How this Rule Benefits Hotel Operations
The Occupancy-Based Hotel Pricing Rule is a game-changing tool that empowers hoteliers to dynamically manage room rates based on real-time occupancy levels. At HotelRank, we’ve built this powerful automation to help independent hotels maximize their revenue potential with minimal manual effort. Boost revenue with HotelRank’s Occupancy-Based Hotel Pricing Rule—automate pricing as occupancy changes & maximize yield in real time.
With the Occupancy-Based Hotel Pricing Rule, you can set pricing triggers based on room occupancy percentages. For instance, offer discounts when occupancy is below 30%, maintain base pricing between 60%–80%, and apply premium rates once occupancy exceeds 85%. This rule allows you to be flexible, competitive, and smart about your pricing strategy—especially during peak and low seasons.
Revenue Optimization
When more rooms are booked, the system raises rates automatically, helping you capture premium pricing during high-demand periods.
Example:
If occupancy > 85% → Increase rate by ₹1,000 per night
Boost Bookings During Low Demand
Encourage guests to book when occupancy is low by offering automatic discounts, improving overall room utilization.
Example:
If occupancy < 30% → Apply 15% discount
Smarter Inventory Management
Occupancy rules ensure that pricing reflects real-time demand, allowing you to balance occupancy and revenue without over-discounting or overpricing.
Save Time with Automation
No need for daily rate updates—rates adjust based on your pre-set occupancy triggers, saving hours of manual effort.

The Occupancy-Based Hotel Pricing Rule offers independent hoteliers a smart way to optimize revenue. By adjusting room rates based on real-time occupancy levels, it ensures you capitalize on high demand by increasing prices and fill rooms during slow periods with timely discounts. This strategy maximizes yield, improves forecasting, and keeps your hotel competitive across all OTA platforms. It also reduces manual workload by automating rate adjustments, giving you more time to focus on guest experience. Ultimately, this rule empowers hotels to stay agile, increase profitability, and operate more efficiently in today’s fast-paced booking environment.
