If you’d like to offer pricing for children as additional guests (aged 15 and below), you can now do this in your listing! Currently, this feature is only available for UK and Australian Hosts.
For example, your base price might be set to 1 guest for £15 and all additional guests for £15. Now, with this new feature, you can set additional adults as £15 and additional children as £5.
To set up child pricing:
- Click on Property from your Host Dashboard
- Click on Sites located next to ‘Overview’
- Click Edit next to the unit you would like to edit
- Click on Pricing on the left side of the screen
- Click on Edit all pricing
- Scroll down until you see How much will you charge per additional child per night?
- Update the price
- Select Done at the bottom
Good to know:
- If you offer weeknight discounts, the percentage you set will also apply to the child guest price.
- If you offer custom pricing through your Calendar, your pricing for additional campers will also increase at the same rate that you increase your base price for all future bookings.
- Example: If your base price is normally £50 and your additional guest or child fee is £20, but you increase your base price to £75 (+50%) on a special day, that +50% would also apply to the additional guest and child fee on that special day (£30 instead of £20).
- Example: If your base price is normally £50 and your additional guest or child fee is £20, but you increase your base price to £75 (+50%) on a special day, that +50% would also apply to the additional guest and child fee on that special day (£30 instead of £20).
- Children added to a booking contribute to your total capacity. If you allow up to 4 people per booking (including additional Hipcampers) and 2 adults are booked, only 2 children can be added.
- If you have multiple designated units, you'll have to set up child pricing for each unit separately.
- If you’d like to offer toddlers or infants to stay free of charge, you can do this! You just need to make this clear in your listing description.
This is a new feature, so please feel free to share your feedback by contacting the Hipcamp Support Team.
