🛏️ What is a One Night Rate and How Does It Work?

A One Night Rate is a special rate plan used in your Internet Booking Engine (IBE) to control pricing for guests who are searching for exactly one night.

🔍 How It Works:

When a guest searches for a 1-night stay, the IBE will only show the One Night Rate, if one is set.
This applies even if you have other active rate plans that allow 1-night stays — the One Night Rate will overridethem.

💡 Why Use It?

The One Night Rate is ideal if you want to charge a higher price for 1-night bookings, without completely blocking short stays.

You're not restricting guests from booking just one night.
You're simply offering it at a premium rate compared to longer stays.

⚙️ How to Set Up a One Night Rate (for IBE)

Follow these steps to create a special rate that applies only when guests search for 1-night stays in your Internet Booking Engine (IBE):

Go to the Rate Plans section in your SabeeApp account.
Click “Add New Rate Plan.” (name it and save it)
Click on the new rate plan and then click “Show Tools” - “Edit Settings”
In the Rate Plan Category dropdown, select “One Night Rate.”
- This tells the system that the rate should apply only for 1-night searches.
Activate the rate plan for your Internet Booking Engine:
- Find the option “Available for IBE.”
- Toggle it ON (green) to make it visible to guests on your booking engine.
Set your pricing:
- Option A: Link this rate plan to your Master Prices and define how this rate should differ (e.g., add a % or fixed increase).
- Option B: Manually upload your 1-night prices using the Price Wizard.

⚠️ Important Notes:

✅ IBE-only feature:
The One Night Rate only works in your Internet Booking Engine.
Even if it’s made available for OTAs, it won’t override your other rate plans when someone searches for 1 night via an OTA.
✅ Overrides minimum stay rules:
Even if you set a 3-night minimum stay within this rate plan, it will still behave as a 1-night rate.
It will always be applied when a guest searches for exactly 1 night.
