Amenity Fee

Vacation rental metrics or key performance indicators are critical measurable aspects of your business that you can lean on to understand and manage your business better. From occupancy rates to referrals your vacation rental is getting, it can be helpful to track these metrics. “You can’t improve what you don’t measure!”

If you understand the business metrics, you and/or the vacation rentals’ manager will be able to analyze the return on your investment and return on revenue more accurately to improve your operations.

An amenity fee, also known as a resort fee or facility fee, is an additional charge that hotels, resorts, or vacation rentals may impose on guests. This fee is separate from the advertised room rate and is intended to cover access to certain amenities or services. Common amenities covered by an amenity fee include Wi-Fi, pool access, fitness center usage, and sometimes even local shuttle services. It’s important for travelers to check for these fees when booking accommodation, as they can significantly impact the total cost of a stay.
