Channel performance

Stays, revenue, commission, cancellations and lead time by channel.

What this page is for

Compare your channels (Airbnb, Booking.com, your own website, direct, corporate...): which bring revenue, what they cost, how often guests cancel and how far ahead they book.

Who can use it

See operations reports (by default Admin, Operations, Finance, Sales and Viewer).

How to run it

Choose the check-in months, currency and properties, and select Show.

Fields and columns

Column Meaning
Channel The booking platform, or how the booking was added.
Share of revenue The channel's revenue as a share of all revenue.
Commission Platform fees.
Cancelled Cancelled stays as a share of all stays.
Days booked ahead Average days from booking to check-in.

Statuses and automation

By check-in date. Cancelled stays count in the cancellation rate, not in nights or revenue.

Settings that change this page

Master data: Booking platforms.

FAQs

Why is lead time missing? The stays have no booking date, or were entered after check-in. Stays entered after check-in are left out of lead time so they do not pull the average down.

Troubleshooting

Problem What to do
A channel appears twice Two platform names are used for the same channel; merge them under Master data.
