Visibility of Room Prices in the Booking Engine.
Keep your booking engine rates neat, clear and organised by only displaying the ones necessary to your guests. Otherwise, the rates specifically for Booking.com or Expedia can show up as between the normal prices in the booking engine and that can be confusing for potential guests.
Your OTA rates should always take into consideration the commission costs charged by the external channel.
Within RoomRaccoon you can easily check in the system if you want a room price visible in the Booking Engine.
If you want a specific room rate to be shown click on your My Property tab on the left of the screen and navigate to Categories.
Click on the rate type.
Scroll down to the bottom and choose an option from the Booking engine drop down menu.
