Nine nights booked, two added. Still one stay.
A guest books nine nights online, then adds two. The two bookings are linked into one chain: 11 nights, one visit.
For example
A long-stay guest extends five times in a month, a few nights at a time.
Without this, the arrivals list shows him as new five times, the repeat report says five stays, and the commission statement has five lines nobody can place.
Here it is one visit.
Extend once. Stay linked.
Step 1 of the extend form. Demo data. Pick the new check-out.
Staff choose the date. For a booking paid by an online agency, the system creates a new booking for the extra nights and links it to the original.
The note on an online agency booking. Demo data. The original stays untouched.
The agency is not billed for the extra nights, and the original keeps its own dates. A direct or walk-in guest is simply extended in place.
The rate and the create button. Demo data. One new booking, linked.
Staff confirm the rate and create the booking. It joins the chain. The stay page reads as one continuous visit, and repeat-guest counting treats the chain as one stay.
The system links them. Staff can too.
When a booking arrives for the same guest name on the day the last one ends, the system looks for the earlier booking and links them itself.
- One hard rule: no two bookings in a chain share a night. Two rooms for the same night stay as two chains. A real room change still joins.
- Repeat counting works the way a hotelier counts: a gap of more than five days (a setting) starts a new stay.
- Statement matching can follow the chain, so extension nights do not look like unmatched bookings.

Four questions, answered straight
- What if two different guests share a name?
- It matches the same guest name and touching dates, so two different guests with the same name could be joined by mistake. Staff can unbind a stay from its chain by hand.
- Does it join bookings made under different names?
- No. A different name is a different guest until the profiles are merged.
- Does it change anything at the agency?
- No. It only links records inside our system. Nothing changes on the agency's side.
- Do the linked stays share one bill?
- No. Each stay keeps its own folio and settlement. The link is for grouping and continuity.
