Updated 4 Nov 2026 · 2 min read

Define the kinds of room you sell, such as Standard, Deluxe and Suite, with their beds, occupancy limits, default prices and amenities.

A room type is a kind of room you sell, such as Standard, Deluxe or Suite. Every room belongs to one type, and prices, availability and online channels all work by room type.

How the prices here are used

Your real prices normally live in a rate plan's Rate Grid, see Rate Plans. The prices on the room type are the fallback for any night the grid does not cover:

  • One adult pays the Single Rate; two or more adults pay the Double Rate. When those are empty, the Default Rate is used.
  • Each adult above Base Adults adds the Extra Adult Charge, and each child adds the Extra Child Charge.
  • Each extra bed on a booking adds the Extra Bed Charge, even when the price comes from a rate plan.

Edit or delete a room type

Click Edit to change a type; the changes apply to new quotes. Click Delete and confirm to remove it. A type that still has rooms cannot be deleted; EloERP shows Cannot delete: room type has rooms assigned.

Why does a booking for two adults cost more than the default rate? Two adults use the Double Rate, and any adult above Base Adults adds the extra adult charge.
