RevPAR (revenue per available rental)
- RevPAR is nightly revenue divided by ALL available nights — booked or not. It equals ADR × occupancy rate and is the single best health metric for a rental.
- Category: Revenue
Why it beats ADR or occupancy alone
You can buy occupancy by underpricing, or buy ADR by only selling peak weekends. RevPAR punishes both tricks: it only rises when price and fill improve together.
Example
A flat priced at €120 with 70% occupancy earns €84 RevPAR. Dropping to €100 but reaching 90% earns €90 — the "cheaper" strategy wins, and RevPAR is how you see it.
