# Pricing

Everything about what you sell and when lives on one page: [app.hostelmate.co/pricing](https://app.hostelmate.co/pricing). Anything you change here goes out to all your connected channels on its own, usually within a minute or two.

The page has four tabs. This page covers the first one, the price grid. The others have their own pages:

| Tab                   | What it's for                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Pricing**           | Day-by-day prices per room, closing dates, minimum stay. Covered below.                                                                                                                                |
| **Price Adjustments** | Rules that raise or lower prices automatically depending on how full you are. See [Price Adjustments](https://github.com/DavidSamir/doc-hostelmate/tree/main/front-desk/pricing/price-adjustments.md). |
| **Availability**      | Your property's timezone, and a same-day cutoff that stops selling tonight's beds after a certain hour. See [Availability Controls](/front-desk/pricing/availability-controls.md).                     |
| **Booking Window**    | How far into the future your channels are allowed to sell. See [Booking Window](/front-desk/pricing/booking-window.md).                                                                                |

## The price grid

Pick a date range with the **From** and **To** fields at the top. The table shows one row per room and one column per night. Each cell is that room's price for that night; for a dorm, it's the price of one bed.

### Changing a price

Click the cell you want to change. That opens **Bulk Update Prices**, where you set:

* a **Start Date** and **End Date** (the cell you clicked is pre-filled, but you can stretch it to a whole season)
* the **new price**
* optionally **Close Room**, which marks the room as unavailable for those dates on every channel

Click **Update**. You'll see "Prices saved — syncing to channels in the background" and the grid refreshes.

{% hint style="info" %}
Update in chunks of about a month at a time. A single update covering a year is a lot of dates for every channel to digest at once and is the most common cause of a "why hasn't Booking.com changed yet" ticket. If a channel does fall behind, [Full Sync](/channel-mapping-guides/full-sync.md) puts it right.
{% endhint %}

### Minimum stay, closed to arrival, closed to departure

Each room row has a small arrow on the left. Click it and three more rows unfold under the prices:

* **Min Stay Arrival**: the fewest nights a guest can book if they *arrive* on that date. Click a cell, choose the date range and the number of nights, save. **Disable Min Stay for this range** removes it.
* **Closed to Arrival**: guests can't start a stay on that date, but a stay that began earlier can run through it.
* **Closed to Departure**: guests can't check out on that date.

These go to your channels the same way prices do.

{% hint style="info" %}
**"Booking.com still shows a price on a night I've blocked."** It will. Platforms display a price for every open night whether or not a guest can actually start a stay there. If a min-stay or a full night next door means nobody can book that date, the number shown for it doesn't matter. Check the price on the nights people *can* book instead.
{% endhint %}

## A room is missing from the grid

Rooms only appear here once they exist in **Finance → Property Setup → Room Inventory** and have beds added. If it's set up there and still doesn't show, write to us in the chat.
