The Rooms menu groups the room itself and its three supporting lists:

To create a room, go to Dashboard Rooms Add New

At the top of the screen you will find the standard WordPress fields, which apply to a room like any other post:

Everything specific to booking lives in the Room Settings panel below the editor, split into tabs down the left edge. Each tab is documented in turn below.

This tab sets how much the room costs. The Regular Price Per Night is the foundation; every other option below is added on top of it. Price fields show your WooCommerce currency symbol automatically. Any surcharge you do not need can simply be left switched off.

Add an extra charge for each guest, on top of the nightly rate.

Charge different rates on weekend nights. All four fields below appear only when the master switch is on.

This tab controls how many guests (and pets) a single unit of the room can take. These limits also drive the guest steppers in the search and booking forms — a search asking for more guests than any room can seat simply returns no results, so keep the maximums realistic.

Three tabs work together to control when a room can be booked and at what price on specific dates.

It helps to know which price appears where, because a room has two kinds of price: a fixed headline rate and a date-specific rate that includes any price ranges and discounts.

The price on the room card and in the top-right of the booking form is the room's base nightly rate — the Regular Price Per Night (or the Sale Price when one is set and lower) from the Pricing tab. It is a fixed “starting from” figure.

As soon as a guest selects check-in and check-out dates, the booking form recalculates the real price for that stay — applying weekend rates, price ranges, per-date prices, and any discounts. The cost breakdown under the form then shows the saving in full:

So a discount you configure is always visible to the guest — just at the point it actually applies, in the breakdown, rather than as a static label on the card.

Facilities are the small icon + text items in a room's details row (shown on the card and the single page). This tab has two parts.

Type a value into any of these to show it next to its icon; leave one empty to hide it.

Because the value is free text, the same field reads correctly whatever you type — “King bed” on one room and “Twin beds” on another, with no separate unit field to manage.

If you have created your own facility icons under Rooms → Facilities (such as Balcony or Sea View), a checkbox list appears here. Simply tick the ones this room offers. Each one also gets an optional text box so you can reword it for this room only (e.g. “Private balcony”) — leave it blank to use the facility's own name.

This second part appears only after you have added at least one custom facility, so a fresh site sees just the four built-in items.

A simple checkbox list of the add-ons guests can select when booking this room — breakfast, an airport transfer, a cleaning fee, and so on. Tick the ones this room offers.

The services themselves, and their prices, are created once under Rooms → Extra Services and can then be reused across many rooms. See that section for how each add-on is priced.

Two per-room presentation overrides. Both default to Inherit, meaning the room follows the site-wide settings under Auriva → Theme Options → Rooms → Single Room until you change them here.

Found under Rooms Room Types Room Types are categories for your rooms — Studio, Suite, Deluxe, Family, and so on. They behave exactly like the standard post categories: give each a name (and optionally a parent, since they can be nested) and assign them to rooms from the room edit screen. They are used to group and filter rooms in listings and menus.

Found under Rooms Facilities This is where you define the amenity icons that appear in each room's details row. Add a facility, give it a name, then set:

The four built-in facilities (Bed, Size, Sleeps, Bath) already work without doing anything here — this screen is only needed when you want to add your own amenities or change the icons and ordering.

Found under Rooms Extra Services Create an add-on once here, then offer it on any room from that room's Extra Services tab. Each service has the following settings, grouped into Pricing, Per-guest pricing, Availability and Display.

The Charge options and how each one multiplies the price:

For the guest-counting Charge options only, you can charge adults and children different amounts. Fill in Price per adult and/or Price per child and they replace the base price for this service; leave both blank and every guest is charged the same. Set the child price to 0 to include children free of charge.

Controls the /rooms/ listing page — how rooms are laid out and paginated.

Rename the URL bases used by rooms.

Controls the individual room page (/room/room-name/).

Controls the reservation form and how the booking flow behaves.

Shown beside the Adults and Children steppers so a guest knows which one, say, a 16-year-old belongs in. This is a property-wide policy — the same house rule for every room. Leave a field empty to show no note.

Colours for the date picker and availability calendar. Leave any field blank to inherit the theme palette — you only need to set the ones you want to change.

A single setting that only matters when you delete the plugin.
