As you can see in the example below, if we changed the difference from 20€ to 25€. Once we clicked “Adjust” we see the rate change in the upper right corner where we see the rate increase from 190€ to 195€.If you like 15€ to 30€, once you clicked ADJUST the rate increase by 15€, from 297€ to 312€. From the primary room type rate, we have a 30€ difference.

ROOM A = adjust value + primary room type rate
ROOM A = 30€ + 282€
ROOM A = 312€ |
If you want to set back the rate to the original settings (as defined in the price level) you can do so by clicking on “Restore Default” RESTORE DEFAULT.
