Dashboard - Monthly Occupancy Chart

The Monthly Occupancy Chart shows your occupancy on a month-by-month basis, focusing on the current and previous months. It highlights the percentage of available nights that were booked in each month, giving you a clear view of recent performance.

How the percentage is worked out
Occupancy % = (Booked nights ÷ Available nights) × 100.

What counts as “booked nights”
Any night that has a reservation in it, even if the booking:

• Starts before the month and ends during it, or
• Starts during the month and ends after it

Only the nights that fall within that specific month are counted.

Both guest stays and owner/maintenance stays can be included, depending on type.

What counts as “available nights”
For past months:

• The system uses the actual number of nights the properties were active during that month.

For the current month, it counts:

• Nights that have already passed where properties were active, plus
• The remaining days in the month multiplied by the number of properties that are currently active.

What types of stays are included
Guest bookings:

• Arrived, Departed, Confirmed, Unconfirmed
• Must be real guest stays (not child bookings or zero-accommodation records)

Owner or internal use:

• Owner stays and Maintenance
• Counted separately from guest occupancy
