Standard calculation:
This is how the additional services are calculated in DormBook as extra in the bookings. The quantities can be changed manually anytime by any DormBook user.
Calculations categories:
Four possible choices:
- * 1: the supplement is multiplied by 1 → e.g.: toothpaste
- * number of person: the supplement is multiplied by the number of people in the booking → e.g.: beddings, towels
- * number of nights: the supplement is multiplied by the number of nights booked → e.g.: parking fees
- * number of nights * number of person: the supplement is multiplied by the number of nights and multiplied by the number of people → e.g.: breakfast
Note: We advise the hostels who rely on the FlexBooking system in DormBook to use only the standard calculations * 1 and * per nights.
