Occupancy Reports

Cloudbeds Reports, also known as Stock Reports, are ready-to-use reports designed to support daily operational and financial analysis. They cannot be edited or deleted, but you can export them. 

Because they are view-only reports some features described in this article may only be available to Cloudbeds Insights customers.

To effectively manage your property's occupancy, it's essential to understand the fluctuations throughout the year.

With Cloudbeds Reports you can simplify the extraction of information from reports and access valuable data, enabling more sophisticated analysis without the need for workarounds; this empowers you to enhance your overall performance by helping you to:

  • Make informed decisions to optimize resource allocation. This will allow you to anticipate and plan for the availability of rooms, staff, and other resources needed to meet expected demand.
  • Evaluate your property's occupancy performance, estimate future revenues, and prepare budgets based on projections.
  • Establish data-backed strategies on rates, promotions, and distribution systems to maximize your property's profitability.

 This article reflects the latest Occupancy reporting logic based on the Occupancy dataset. This new version follows USALI (Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry) standards and applies across Classic Reports, Cloudbeds Insights, and PMS functionalities for consistent occupancy metrics.

Main Highlights

  1. Detailed Guest Count: The reports include counts for Guests, Adults, and Children per stay date, allowing for a better understanding of the composition of stays.
  2. Room-Level and Room-Type Level Analysis: Occupancy can be assessed at both the room and room-type level, offering granular insights into how individual accommodations and room categories contribute to overall performance.
  3. Enhanced Reporting: The all-in-one Production report includes Average Daily Rate (ADR) and Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) calculations, providing a comprehensive overview of property performance.
  4. Additional CDFs for Enhanced Functionality: Cloudbeds Data Fields (CDFs) for Blocks and Out-of-Service blocks, enriching the report's functionality and the depth of insights it can provide.
  5. USALI-Compliant Metrics: Occupancy, ADR, and RevPar calculations follow the Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry (USALI), ensuring standardized performance measurement.
  6. Physical-Room-Based Calculations: All metrics are calculated using only physical rooms, providing more accurate reporting for properties using split inventory.
  7. Blocked and Out-of-Service Rooms Included: These room statuses are now factored into Rooms Available and Capacity, ensuring consistency across all occupancy-related calculations and following USALI standards.
  8. Standardized Formulas:
    ADR = Total Room Revenue ÷ Total Rooms Sold
    RevPar = Total Room Revenue ÷ Total Rooms Available
  9. Consistency Across Cloudbeds: Metrics are aligned across Cloudbeds Insights, Calendar, PIE, Dashboard, and Groups to ensure a single source of truth.
  10. Custom Calculations: Customers using Cloudbeds Insights with Report Builder can create customized metrics through formulated CDFs, such as adjusted ADR or alternate occupancy formulas.

Occupancy behavior in Split Inventory setups

For properties using the Split Inventory feature, occupancy reporting follows the USALI-based logic and includes only physical rooms in calculations. However, due to the flexibility of virtual room configurations, special rules apply.

To understand how these rules work, including how occupancy, ADR, and RevPAR are calculated in tiered and non-tiered setups, check the following article: How do Occupancy Metrics work with Split Inventory.

Custom calculations

If you are a Cloudbeds Insight customer and want to use the previous (legacy) formulas, you can build your reports using customized calculations like "ADR legacy" for example.

Legacy formulas were typically just removing Blocked and OOS rooms from the Rooms Available and the ADR used Room Rate instead of Room Revenue in parts of the PMS and Classic Reports.

Click here to learn how to create Formulated CDFs.

Expected Behaviour

  • Most of the reports are grouped by Stay Date.
  • Most reports allow users to filter by date range, Room type, Reservation Source, and Reservation Source Category, but not all reports.
  • CDFs for Blocks, and Out of Service blocks have been added to enhance the report's functionality.
  • When adding a new accommodation, the capacity will apply from the following day onward unless a reservation is assigned to that room type. In that case, the capacity will match the number of reservations.

FAQ

How is Occupancy calculated?

Occupancy measures hotel performance based on the number of rooms sold compared to the total available rooms. It follows USALI standards and is calculated as follows:

Formula: Occupancy Rate (%) = (Rooms Sold / Total Rooms Available) × 100

Key Points:

  • Only physical rooms are counted (not virtual rooms).
  • Blocked and out-of-service rooms are included in the Total Rooms Available.

This approach ensures a standardized method for calculating occupancy across the industry.

 For properties with split inventory, Total Rooms Available and Rooms Sold include physical rooms only.

Which parts of Cloudbeds now use this logic?

The updated Occupancy logic is consistently applied across the following parts of Cloudbeds:

Calendar

The Calendar gives you a convenient, visual way to manage your property. From there, you can check the occupancy percentage to forecast and track real-time availability.

Key Point:

  • Blocked and Out of Service rooms remain included in Total Rooms Available (inventory) but are not counted as rooms sold when calculating occupancy.

Dashboard
