Single / Double Occupancy
What is single versus double occupancy in hotel room blocks?
How many guests share a room, and often how that room is priced and set with beds. Single occupancy means one guest; double occupancy means two, whether in one bed or two. Some contracts quote the same rate regardless of occupancy, while others charge a per-person supplement above double, so occupancy affects both the budget and the rooming list. On the rooming list, occupancy drives bed configuration — a double-occupancy room may need two beds — and any shared-cost split between roommates. For coordinators, capturing occupancy accurately per room prevents check-in surprises, such as a couple assigned two twin beds or two colleagues assigned one king, and keeps room night math and billing aligned with what guests actually booked.
