The Problem

MPHB handles bookings.
Rate management is on you.

📊

Spreadsheet Hell

Manually calculating rates across seasons, room types, and length-of-stay tiers. One spreadsheet with 200+ cells — and it still needs to be entered into MPHB by hand.

🔧

Rate Entry Is Repetitive

MPHB gives you full control over rates and seasons — but updating them means editing every room type, every season, every tier individually. It adds up fast.

⚠️

No Safety Net

Editing rates in MPHB is permanent — there's no backup, no undo, no way to compare what changed. Update the wrong season or delete a rate by accident, and you're rebuilding from scratch.

How It Works

Four steps. All your rates.
Written to MPHB.

SRE reads your existing MPHB room types and seasons, then writes calculated rates directly into MPHB's native data — no export, no re-entry.

1

Import Room Types

Pull your existing MPHB room types into SRE. Set base occupancy and choose a surcharge model for each.

2

Map Your Seasons

Connect your MPHB seasons to pricing types — Low, High, Holiday — each with its own rate multiplier and minimum stay.

3

Set Your Rules

Base rates per year, length-of-stay discounts, occupancy surcharges. All configured through a tabbed admin UI.

4

Generate

One click. SRE calculates every rate and writes it into MPHB — with an automatic backup before anything changes.

Features

Everything you need to manage
your seasonal rates effectively

📅

Season-Aware Rate Generation

Map your MPHB seasons to pricing types with rate multipliers. Low season gets base rate, set premium percentages for high season and holidays — all calculated automatically.

🔢

Three-Layer Minimum Stays

Set minimum stays at the pricing type, season, or room type level. Granular control without the complexity.

🗓️

Calendar Holiday Import Pro

Import public holidays and school breaks automatically. No more manually checking which long weekends need peak pricing — connect once, import in one click.

👥

Occupancy Surcharges

Flat-rate surcharges for extra guests in Free. Upgrade to Pro for tiered surcharge models with per-occupancy-level pricing.

🔄

MLS Sync to MPHB

Minimum length of stay rules are written directly into MPHB's booking rules. Synced automatically every time you generate rates.

🛡️

Automatic Backup & Restore

Every rate generation creates a timestamped backup of your existing MPHB data. One-click restore if anything's off.

Before & After

What changes when you
stop doing it manually

Before SRE

  • ✕ Hours of work every time seasonal pricing needs to change
  • ✕ No backup, no undo — hope you got it right the first time
With SRE
  • ✓ Visual UI — set base rates and multipliers, see results instantly
  • ✓ All rates written to MPHB automatically in one operation
  • ✓ Guard rails prevent accidental data loss — warnings before destructive actions
  • ✓ Rate changes take seconds, not hours — update rules, regenerate, done
  • ✓ Duplicate pricing years forward — carry your rate structure into next season without rebuilding
  • ✓ Automatic backup before every write — one-click restore if anything's off

FAQ

Common questions

Yes. Smart Rate Engine reads your existing MotoPress Hotel Booking configuration — seasons, room types, and rate structures. It doesn't replace MPHB; it writes into it. Your current setup is the starting point, not something you need to rebuild.
MotoPress Hotel Booking 5.4 or later. Works with both the free Lite version and Hotel Booking Premium.
Yes. Base rates, season mapping, MLS sync, backup and restore all work with Hotel Booking Lite. Length-of-stay tier pricing and occupancy surcharges require Hotel Booking Premium to display on the front end — SRE writes the data correctly either way, but Lite's front-end doesn't read those fields.
Only when you tell it to — and never without a backup. Every rate generation creates a timestamped snapshot of your existing MPHB data before writing anything. You'll see a clear confirmation step with exactly what will change before any write operation executes.
One click. SRE automatically backs up your rates before every write. If something's off, hit Restore Last Backup from the dashboard and your previous rates are reinstated immediately. No support tickets, no database fumbling, no downtime.
SRE connects to Google's public holiday calendar for your country. It pulls in official public holidays and lets you assign them to pricing types — so Easter, Christmas, and long weekends automatically get the right rates and minimum stay rules without manual entry. School holiday periods can also be imported. This is a Pro feature.
No. SRE is entirely UI-driven. If you can navigate the WordPress admin and you understand your own pricing structure, you can use SRE. The interface was designed for accommodation managers, not developers.
