The Base Price / Per Night field is a precautionary measure designed to protect the hotel in cases where availability is entered into the calendar without a corresponding price. In such scenarios, the price specified in this field is activated to prevent incorrect reservations. This higher price is set to ensure that the hotel does not inadvertently sell rooms at zero or extremely low prices.
