Seasonal pricing

Seasonal pricing means setting different rates for different parts of the year — peak, shoulder and low season — rather than one rate all year.

Worked example

  1. A ₱3,800 room set to ₱5,130 for December and Holy Week, and ₱3,230 for the habagat months.
  2. Across a year at 66% occupancy that is roughly ₱150,000 more than a flat ₱3,800.
  3. The whole change takes about twenty minutes, once, in January.

Why it matters

In the Philippines the swing is large and the calendar is specific: the dry months, Holy Week, the habagat rains, the local fiesta. A rate set in January is actively costing you by August.

It is not the same as dynamic pricing. Seasonal pricing is a plan you make once; dynamic pricing is an algorithm reacting to demand.

The most common mistake is overriding too many months. If eight of your twelve months carry an override, they are not seasons — your base rate is simply wrong, and fixing that is one edit rather than eight.

In MangoHost

Named month overrides per room — “Holy Week”, “Summer Peak”, “Low Season” — set once a year and applied every night after. This is deliberately not a demand algorithm, and the page for it says so.
