ADR (Average Daily Rate): set a value to which the ADR will be compared. This condition will evaluate the selected room categories.
Vacant Rooms: set a value to which the availability number of available rooms will be compared. This condition will evaluate the selected room categories.
Competitors: analyze your hotel’s rates in comparison with competitors. This condition will evaluate the selected room categories.
When checking the lowest or highest competitor rate, the system will fetch the respective rate from all available competitors—either across all categories or within the selected category.
When evaluating the average competitor rate, the system will gather all available rates and calculate the average—either across all categories or for the selected one.
Date range: check checks only dates within the defined data range. This condition will evaluate all room categories.
NOTE: The rule evaluates dates from the start night to the end night in the range. If you set the date range 20.10.2025 → 23.10.2025, the rule will check the nights of October 20, 21, 22 and 23.
DBA (Days Before Arrival): check only dates within the DBA range. This condition will evaluate all room categories.
The DBA starts counting from 0, that means:
DBA from 0 to 0, will affect the current day (=today).
DBA from 0 to 1, will affect the current day and next day.
DBA from 3 to 5, will start at current day + 3 and end at current day + 5
Events: check checks if there is an event defined on the selected day or not. This condition will evaluate all room categories.
Occupancy: set a value to which the occupancy will be compared. This condition will evaluate the selected room categories.
Price level: check which checks if the selected price level is set. This condition will evaluate the selected room categories.
RevPar (Revenue per Available Room)*: set a value to which the RevPAR will be compared. This condition will evaluate the selected room categories.
Weekdays: check checks if it is a specific day of the week. This condition will evaluate all room categories.
Weather forecast: check checks if it is a specific weather forecast. This condition will evaluate all room categories.
The weather forecast is available for the current day + 14 days. Powered by The data source is Open Weather.
Weather temperature: set a value to which the temperature will be compared. This condition will evaluate all room categories.
The weather temperature is available for the current day + 14 days. Powered by The data source is Open Weather.
Apply to “All categeories” categories” vs. apply to “Hotel”
For conditions like ADR, competitors, occupancy, price level, and RevPAR, you can choose to evaluate “all categories.” In this case, the rule will check each room category individually.
Example: If the rule requires occupancy below 50% for all categories, it means each room category must be below 50% for the condition to be met.
For conditions like vacant rooms, you can choose to evaluate the “hotel” as a whole. In this case, the rule will check the total value for the entire hotel.
Example: If the rule requires vacant rooms to be fewer than 10 for the hotel, it means the sum of all vacant rooms must be below 10 for the condition to be met.

Notes
Make sure the added conditions do not contradict each other, so the rule can be properly checked and applied.
Add multiple versions of the same conditions applied to different room categories if you only want to evaluate especifc specific categories.
You can delete a conditions that no longer makes sense to the rule.
...
Define how the rule will affect the rate recommendation, for all or each room category seperately, by increasing and/or decreasing the rate by an amount and/or percentage.
All the actions will be executed if all the conditions are met. Add as many actions as you need.

Accumulating rules
...
All rules in this section are active and will be executed if the conditions are met.
...
Example
If I set 2 rules and add them to the Accumulating Rules block
Weekday, 10 to 30 DBA: If weekdays are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, and the DBA is between 10 and 30 days from now then decrease the rate by €6 for all categories
Low occupancy: If Occupancy is less than 50% for all categories then decrease the rate by €5 for all categories
Then for a weekday like Tuesday, 20 days from now with low occupancy for all categories, both rules would be applied.
Hierarchical rules
...
All rules in this section are active, they are evaluated in a hierarchical order for each day, as soon as a rule meets all the conditions and is applied, all lower-ranked rules are terminated.
