Guest add-ons & extra revenue ← All services Pillar 03 · Protection & Insight

Small extras guests love, that quietly grow your revenue.

Early check-in, late check-out, mid-stay cleaning, pet fees, parking, and curated welcome packages — priced strategically and offered to guests automatically at the right moment. Well-run add-ons lift top-line revenue 8–12% without raising your nightly rate.

What it is

Revenue that comes from saying yes to what guests already want.

Guests routinely want things beyond the base booking — to drop bags early, sleep in and check out late, bring the dog, park the car, or arrive to a bottle of local wine. Add-ons turn these natural requests into optional paid extras, offered automatically at the moment they're most wanted. It's incremental revenue that doesn't touch your nightly rate, and guests are genuinely happy to pay because they're getting something they actually want.

Raising your nightly rate can cost you the booking. Offering a $30 early check-in to a guest who's desperate to drop their bags doesn't — it adds revenue and goodwill at the same time. Add-ons are the rare lever that lifts both income and satisfaction.
How it works

From menu to offer to fulfilment — automatically.

1

Add-on menu built

During setup we define which add-ons suit your property — early check-in, late checkout, parking, pet fee, mid-stay clean, welcome packages — and price each to your market.

2

Offered at the right moment

The relevant add-on is surfaced to the guest automatically when they're most receptive: late checkout suggested the morning before departure, parking at booking, a welcome package pre-arrival.

3

Fulfilled operationally

When a guest buys, it routes into operations automatically — the cleaning schedule adjusts for a late checkout, the welcome package is stocked, parking is arranged. No manual coordination.

4

Logged to your statement

Every add-on sale is itemized on your monthly statement as incremental revenue, so you see exactly how much extra the program earns each month.

Value to your bottom line

Incremental revenue that never touches your nightly rate.

Top-line revenue

Well-run add-on programs lift total revenue 8–12% — pure incremental income that never touches your nightly rate or risks a lost booking.

🤝
Win-win

Revenue guests welcome

Unlike a rate hike, add-ons make guests happier, not warier — they're paying for something they actively want. Income and goodwill rise together.

Manual effort

Add-ons are offered, sold, and fulfilled automatically. The cleaning schedule and supplies adjust themselves — you just see the extra revenue on your statement.

And to your guests

Guests get what they want → better reviews → higher rank & rate.

Thoughtful, well-timed extras let each guest shape the stay to their real needs — and that flexibility earns warm reviews.

1

Getting what they want

The guest who needs an early check-in, a late checkout, or to bring their dog can simply have it — their stay bends to their real needs.

2

A more personal stay

Optional extras — a welcome basket, mid-stay refresh, local treats — make the stay feel tailored and thoughtful rather than one-size-fits-all.

→
3

Delight worth mentioning

The small yeses and nice touches are exactly what guests rave about in reviews — "they let us check in early after a red-eye, lifesaver."

4

Happier guests → better reviews → higher rank & rate

Flexibility and thoughtful extras drive the warm reviews that lift search rank and support a higher base rate.

In Vancouver

Where guest add-ons earn their keep, locally.

CRUISE & FLIGHT TIMING

Early check-in, late checkout demand

Vancouver's cruise turnarounds and trans-Pacific flight schedules leave guests with awkward gaps — arriving at dawn or departing late evening. Early check-in and late checkout add-ons are in constant demand here, turning a common Vancouver timing headache into welcome revenue.

PARKING SCARCITY

A premium amenity downtown

Parking in downtown Vancouver, the West End, and Yaletown is scarce and expensive. A guaranteed parking add-on is genuinely valuable to guests with a car — and a meaningful revenue line for owners whose units include a stall.

LOCAL EXPERIENCE

Curated BC welcome packages

Vancouver guests love a local touch — BC wine, Granville Island treats, a curated neighbourhood guide. Welcome-package add-ons monetize that desire for a local experience while making the stay feel distinctly Vancouver.
