Default number of adults

How to make the default number of adults 2, since almost all hotels use double occupancy in their rooms

[AradhanaSingh63]

Hi @wdammak,

You can set the base adults occupancy to 2.

Reference: Screenshot

Base and Maximum Occupancy in QloApps:

1) Base Adults: Enter the minimum number of adults allowed in the room.

2) Base Children: Enter the minimum number of children allowed in the room.

3) Maximum Adults: Enter the maximum number of adults allowed in the room.

4) Maximum Children: Enter the maximum number of children allowed in the room.

5) Maximum Room Occupancy: Enter the total maximum number of persons allowed in the room.

Hi @AradhanaSingh63 and thank you for your feedback
The issue arises because, by default, hotel rooms are designed to accommodate two guests, which is the standard practice across the hospitality industry. The exception is when a booking is made for a single guest, in which case a double room can still be reserved, sometimes with or without an additional charge depending on the hotel's policy.

For this reason, the default setting in the search bar on the homepage is two adults, in line with common practice on most booking platforms.

That said, this behavior is configurable within the platform, though only to a limited extent.

Hi @wdammak,

Thank you for explaining the details.

You are referring to the homepage search bar for occupancy:

There should be a configuration setting for the default occupancy in the search bar on the homepage.

Thank you for letting us know.

We have noted down this configuration, and we will consider adding this enhancement in the next version.

Currently, QloApps 1.7.0 does not have this functionality.
