What is a Room Transfer?
Allowing Room Transfers will increase your occupancy as your guests will automatically be booked into an available room for the nights the original room is occupied by another guest. That is, by allowing a person to change rooms after a couple of nights, you will still be able to welcome the guests while without the Room Transfer, there wouldn't be availability anymore.
That's how room transfer looks like in the Booking Engine:
Tip: the list of Room Transfers for (a) certain date(s) can be found in your Planning Module: Planning > Room Transfers
How to allow Room Transfers
1. Click on Sales > Booking Engine > Accommodation
2. Enable the button next to Allow room transfers
3. Save
Now all bookings made through the Booking Engine will automatically be moved into another room of the same room type in case the original room is partially unavailable.
