The Utilization Heatmap is available starting from the AirHost ONE HMS Lite plan, however the CSV export function for the Utilization Heatmap requires the purchase of the AirHost ONE HMS Premium plan.


Detail

How to Use the Utilization Heatmap

By using the Utilization Heatmap, you can improve efficiency in managing not only a single property but also multiple properties, and gain insights for revenue optimization.

  • Easily check occupancy across multiple properties

    You can quickly view the status of all properties at a glance, eliminating the need to check occupancy rates individually.

  • Identify peak seasons

    If you notice that occupancy is high in a certain month, you can identify the peak season for that area.

  • Analyze low-occupancy periods

    If occupancy is low in a certain month, it may indicate potential issues such as pricing being too high, providing clues for improvement.

  • Understand yearly occupancy trends

    If overall annual occupancy is high, it may suggest that pricing is too low. This can serve as a trigger to review rates by comparing them with nearby properties.

How Occupancy Rate Is Calculated in the Utilization Heatmap

Example: Performance for "AirHost Singapore Hotel" (with the Report Setting "OCC Calculation Rule" turned Off)

  • Room Count: 5

  • Days in the month: 31

  • Total occupied days: 50

  • Occupancy rate: 32.26%

Formula:

Occupancy Rate = (Total Sold Room Nights ÷ (Number of Rooms × Number of Days in the Month)) × 100

※ This is the calculation method used in the Utilization Heatmap and differs from the OCC report.

Calculation:

50 ÷ (5 × 31) × 100
= 50 ÷ 155 × 100
= 32.26%

💡 The occupancy rate calculation used in the Occupancy Map varies depending on the Report Setting > "OCC Calculation Rule". For details, please refer to the help page below.

💡 About the Room Type Creation Date

The Utilization Heatmap displays data starting from the creation date of each room type.

Therefore, for newly created room types, occupancy data prior to the room type's creation date will not be available.

In the case of parent-child listings, the occupancy rate is calculated only for the child rooms.

For the parent room:

  • It is not counted as a room

  • Occupancy rate is not calculated for the parent room itself
