What is hotel occupancy rate?

Occupancy rate is the percentage of your available rooms that are sold over a period. It's one of the three core hotel metrics — alongside ADR and RevPAR — and shows how well you're filling the rooms you have.

How do you calculate hotel occupancy rate?

Occupancy rate = (Rooms Sold ÷ Rooms Available) × 100. For example, selling 13 of 20 available rooms is a 65% occupancy rate.

What is occupancy rate?

Occupancy rate is the percentage of your available rooms that are sold. It's one of the three metrics every hotelier watches — alongside ADR and RevPAR. High occupancy is great, but only paired with a healthy rate — which is why RevPAR (ADR × occupancy) is the number that ties them together.

How to calculate occupancy rate

Divide the rooms you sold by the rooms you had available, then multiply by 100: Occupancy = (Rooms Sold ÷ Rooms Available) × 100. Read Revenue Management for Independent Hotels to turn occupancy into pricing decisions, or browse all our free hotel tools.
