📊 "Booking Window" Report – See When Your Bookings Are Coming In
What is the Booking Window?
It's the number of days between when a guest makes a reservation and the check-in date.
This report shows how many days in advance bookings are made and when the booking wave begins for specific periods.
🎯 How This Helps You:
Increase profit – Adjust your prices exactly when real demand starts.
Better planning – Anticipate guest flow and prepare your team and rates accordingly.
Smarter campaigns – Launch offers at the right moment: early booking, last-minute, or in-between.
Year-over-year comparison – See how guest behavior has changed compared to the previous year.
🧮 What the KPIs in the Report Mean:
Total bookings – The total number of bookings during the selected period.
Average Booking Window – The average number of days in advance bookings were made (e.g., 69.8 days).
Median Booking Window – The middle value: half the bookings were made more than X days in advance.
% Last-minute (≤7 days) – What percentage of bookings were made within 7 days of arrival.
% Early-booking (≥30 days) – What percentage of guests booked at least 30 days in advance.
Trend – Shows whether the values have increased or decreased compared to the previous year.
📌 How to Use the Report:
Select your desired date range (e.g., July 1 – August 7).
Analyze the chart:
🟩 Green line = current year
🟦 Blue line = last year
Identify when the booking wave starts (look for the peak), so you can act at the right moment.
Review the KPI table to deeply understand booking trends.
💡 Tips:
✔️ If most bookings come early → focus on early booking campaigns.
✔️ If many are last-minute → offer flexibility and flash promotions.
✔️ If the Booking Window is shrinking → check your pricing and competitor activity.
✔️ If you have slow periods → analyze what worked in the same time last year.
