Occupancy rate

The occupancy rate is the share of nights offered for sale that were booked over a period: booked nights divided by available nights.

The occupancy rate measures how well a property fills up. It is calculated on the nights actually offered for sale: nights blocked for your own stays or for works are left out.

Formula: occupancy rate = booked nights ÷ available nights × 100.

Hypothetical example: an apartment open for 30 nights in November and booked for 18 shows 60%. If the owner blocks a week, 23 nights remain available, and the same 18 booked nights give about 78%.

Read it alongside price

A high rate is not a success if it comes from low prices. Read it with the ADR, the average price per night sold, and with RevPAR, which combines the two. Averages published by market data providers vary with their method: compare yourself first with your own months and with similar listings in your neighbourhood.

RentDari's analytics calculate occupancy by property and by period. To raise yours, our guide to increasing your occupancy rate details seven levers.
