Unit Rooms & Beds

Unit Rooms & Beds

The sleeping arrangements: bedrooms, lofts, bunk rooms, and anywhere else guests sleep.

“Sleeps 8” tells a guest almost nothing on its own. Eight in four bedrooms and eight across two bedrooms and a loft futon are very different holidays, and the difference is one of the most common causes of disappointment on arrival. This page is where you make it explicit.

Add Room creates a room by name. Within each room, add beds by type — each bed type carries a sleep count, so the unit’s total sleeps figure adds up automatically rather than being typed in and drifting out of date.

Rename rooms, adjust beds, or remove them as the unit changes.

Naming rooms usefully

Name rooms the way a guest would describe them rather than the way you track them internally. “Lakeside bedroom” and “Loft” beat “Room 1” and “Room 2” — guests deciding who sleeps where find them easier, and it reads better in a listing.

Be straightforward about the less appealing spaces. A guest who books knowing two of the party are on a pull-out in the living room is fine; one who discovers it on arrival is not.

This is separate from the unit’s max capacity and occupancy on its detail page — those control what can be booked and what the rate includes, while this describes the physical arrangement. Keep them consistent: a unit that sleeps eight by its beds but has a capacity of six will confuse everybody, including you.
