Check Monthly Occupancy Percentages


Monitoring occupancy month by month allows you to anticipate demand, evaluate the performance of each accommodation, and plan strategic actions with precise data. From VRMS, you can access this detailed and comparative information to make smarter decisions.

What is this report?

The Monthly Occupancy Percentages section shows, in percentage, the occupancy of all your accommodations on a monthly basis, from the year each property was activated. This allows you to analyze trends, measure growth, and compare seasons in a simple and visual way.

Benefits

  • Monthly tracking: analyze how each accommodation performs month by month.

  • Historical comparison: compare the same month from previous years to evaluate evolution and performance.

  • Strategy optimization: use the data to adjust prices, promotions, and booking planning.

  • Complete seasonal view: by selecting several months, you can have a comparison of the entire season.

How to access monthly occupancy percentages

Follow these steps:

  1. Go to Reports → Management → Monthly Occupancy Percentages.

  2. Apply filters according to your needs:

    • Owner

    • Accommodation

    • Building

    • Month

    • Year

    • Comparison: choose if you want to compare several months in one year or the same month across different years.

  3. View the list that shows:

    • Accommodation name

    • Gross occupancy: percentage of bookings registered in the system (tourists and owners)

    • Net occupancy: actual occupancy, excluding no-shows, cancellations, and denied bookings

    • Occupied days: number of days occupied in the month for each accommodation

  4. Analyze the occupancy evolution per accommodation and the total accumulated.

Useful Tips

  • To identify patterns of high and low demand, compare several consecutive months within the same year.

  • Combine the owner and building filters to generate specific and actionable reports.

  • Export the data in Excel, CSV, or PDF to create charts, share with your team, or maintain an external record.

Attention to Details

  • Gross occupancy reflects the bookings registered in the system, while net occupancy shows the reality of your business. Consider both metrics when analyzing performance.

  • If an accommodation has no bookings in a month, it will appear as 0% occupancy.

  • The option to compare months or years makes it easier to identify trends and prepare seasonal strategies.

Quick Checklist

  • Access Reports → Management → Monthly Occupancy Percentages

  • Apply filters for owner, accommodation, building, month, and year

  • Select the comparison option (months or years)

  • Review gross, net occupancy, and occupied days

  • Export the data if needed

Summary and Next Step

Now that you know how to check monthly occupancy percentages, you can analyze the monthly evolution of your accommodations and identify opportunities for improvement. The next recommended step is to combine this information with rate and booking reports to maximize occupancy and optimize revenue.
