How can I see more information about the price breakdown?

‘Include_price_details’ is a feature that you can activate for your reservations. It allows you to see extra price information in your XML messages.

 This information includes VAT and city taxes, as well as a maximum of five extra charges per property. The property determines which extra charges are applied.

If you don’t have this feature activated, you won’t see these extra charges, although they will appear in the respective confirmation emails to the guests and the property.

To see how it would look in the XML message, let’s imagine a property with the following extra charges.

Tourism fee

A tourism fee of €2.80 per person per night is excluded

 Cleaning fee

A cleaning fee of €27 per stay is excluded 

A guest makes a reservation for one room for four guests and four nights. The fees are reflected in the XML message as follows:
