The Minimum-figure defines the minimum number of guests the room can be let to. The Maximum-figure defines the number of guests who can be accommodated in the room using all existing beds. The Extra bed-figure defines the maximum number of extra beds that can be used in this category.
When using SIHOT.WEB, the minimum and maximum capacities are important for the booking process: after the client has entered the number of guests per room, SIHOT only suggests categories being able to accommodate this number.
However, by entering a Number additional bed categories, you can add sharers on the rooming list even if this would exceed the definend maximum number of guests. For example, if a baby is to sleep in the same bed as its parents, the booking may be for two pax only. However, because of an additional bed categorie being allowed in the room, you can enter the baby on the rooming list. This ensures that the number of guests overall is correct and the contingency plans show the correct number of guests in each room.
