Ensure that your child policies on OTA channels match those on RoomRaccoon. This guarantees guests are charged correctly when booking through an OTA.
Click "My Property"
Click "Surcharge for children"
Click "Create surcharge"
Click this text field to name your child policy.
Tip: Name your child policy by listing the age bucket. For example: 0-3 Years Child
Click this number field to add the minimum age of the child. For example, 0.
Click this number field to add the maximum age of the child. The pricing policy will cover the age up to and including the maximum age listed. For example, 3.
Click this date picker to select the starting date that this pricing policy should apply.
Click this date picker to select the end date that this pricing policy should apply. The end date you select will ensure that this pricing policy will apply up to and including the end date.
Click this field to type in the pricing amount that you would like to apply for this child policy per night.
Click either the percentage toggle or the currency toggle to set up their city tax (if applicable) for this child policy per night.
Click this field to enter the percentage or specific amount of city tax for this policy.
To apply this child policy (age group) to a different set of dates, click on the "+ Add another rule" button to set up an additional iteration.
Child policies should be structured to run one after the other, rather than operating simultaneously by overlapping. For instance, you might establish a policy for children aged 0 to 3 covering January through April. Subsequently, if you wish to implement a seasonal adjustment in pricing, you can introduce a separate policy for the same age group that applies from April to July.
Click "Delete" if you would like to delete a policy.
To maintain the precision and integrity of reporting, it is not possible to permanently delete a child pricing policy once it has been saved. However, you have the option to archive the policy, allowing you to access and reference any historical pricing policies you have established previously.
Click on these check boxes to select the room categories to which you would like this child policy to be available. This will make sure that the child pricing is available to be booked through your RoomRaccoon booking engine.
