Child rates
Families are a large and lucrative guest segment on our platform. To stand out to them, you’ll need to set up policies and rates that appeal specifically to their needs, as well as configure your rooms so they can find the perfect fit. Once you’ve set up child rates, families can view all of the important room details on your property page alongside transparent pricing.
Transparent pricing for families when they search
When searching for accommodation on Booking.com, travellers can specify the number and ages of the children they’re travelling with, as well as see all of the room details and occupancy-specific pricing on your property page.
Appeal to families while earning additional revenue
Increase family bookings by up to 15%
Stand out in search results by creating attractive offers aimed directly at this large group. Setting competitive child rates can lead to an increase in family bookings by up to 15% on average.
Flexibility and control over your prices
By creating pricing rules for children based on up to three age ranges, you have complete flexibility to define rates and attract families of all sizes.
Greater transparency for your guests
When you set up child rates, the full price for the entire family is clearly displayed throughout the booking process, making it easier for families to choose an accommodation and preventing any unexpected charges at the time of check-in.
Set up child rates in three easy steps
To make sure that families searching for accommodation find your property, you'll need to update your policies, rooms and pricing. You can do this by logging into the extranet and following these steps:
- Policies – from the ‘Property’ tab of your extranet, choose ‘Policies’ and indicate ‘Yes’ to allow children
- Rooms – specify the number of adults and children who can stay in each room or unit
- Pricing – indicate a price per night for each child for any age ranges you want to create
In addition to helping you stand out on our platform, these rates are available and promoted via Connectivity providers. This is an excellent way for you to unlock incremental sales through a channel manager or property management system.
It’s all designed to give you the flexibility you need to fit families into your accommodation and fill up your calendar in times of both high and low demand.
