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 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: checks only dates within the defined data range.
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.
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: checks if there is an event defined on the selected day or not.
Occupancy: set a value to which the occupancy will be compared. This condition will evaluate the selected room categories.
Price level: 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: checks if it is a specific day of the week. This condition will evaluate all room categories.
Weather forecast: checks if it is a specific weather forecast.
The weather forecast is available for the current day + 14 days. The data source is Open Weather.
Weather temperature: set a value to which the temperature will be compared.
The weather temperature is available for the current day + 14 days. The data source is Open Weather.

Example
If I set 2 rules and add them to the Accumulating Rules block
Rule A: 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
Rule B: 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 will be applied and 11€ (5€ + 6€) will be added to subtracted from the rate on.
Hierarchical rules
All rules in this section are active, they are evaluated in a hierarchical order for every single day. As soon as a rule meets all the conditions and is applied, all lower-ranked rules are terminated. If no rules meet the conditions, no rule will be applied to that day.
...
Example from the screenshot above
3 hierarchical rules are set up in defined order
1° | Occupancy >95% and DBA 0-7 then increase rate by 15€
2° | Occupancy >80% and DBA 0-7 then increase rate by 10€
3° | Occupancy >60% and DBA 0-7 then increase rate by 5€
RateBoard is now checking the upcoming days for the rules in hierarchical order
for DBA 1 Occupancy is 83%
1° is not applied >> rule 2° is checked
2° is applied >> 10€ are added >> rule 3° is terminated
for DBA 2 Occupancy is 50%
1° is not applied >> rule 2° is checked
2° is not applied >> rule 3° is checked
3° is not applied >> no rule is applied
for DBA 3 Occupancy is 100%96%
1° is applied >> 15€ are added >> rule 2° AND 3° are terminated
this will be repeated for all days…

Migrated Rate Rules
With the new Rate Rules feature, the active rules set on the old version, will be migrated to the new page as active accumulating rules. You can still edit them as normal rules, following the instructions on this page.
