Room Details

Users can view details of the room type and the charges associated with the room type.

The room rate is calculated as follows:

Room Rate = Base package rate – Included Components. When users update the room rate or the component rate from the Estimated Charges section, the total rate of the package will be updated accordingly.

Details of the fixed, allowance components, and add-ons added to the package are displayed. The pricing type (Included/Excluded) is displayed beside each component.

Only the package and room rates are updated. The rates of the components remain unchanged.
