Orphan nights occur when there’s a gap between guest bookings at your property. This happens when one guest checks out and there's a period of vacancy before the next guest arrives.

By filling these gaps, you can maximize occupancy, reduce vacant nights, and boost your overall revenue, all with minimal effort thanks to Besty’s automated system. Plus, offering discounted orphan nights may appeal to guests looking for a flexible stay or a budget-friendly option.

Example:
A guest checks out on a Monday morning, and your next guest isn't scheduled to arrive until Tuesday afternoon. Instead of leaving the property vacant for Monday night, Besty will send offers to both the departing guest and the arriving guest, giving them the option to book Monday night at a discounted rate. This increases the chances of filling the gap and generating additional revenue.

Besty handles the entire process for you, from detecting the orphan night to sending out offers and processing the booking. All you need to do is sit back and let Besty do the rest! 🫶
