Double Occupancy Percentage

The percentage of occupied rooms hosting more than one guest. Calculated by dividing the number of rooms with two or more guests by the total number of occupied rooms. This metric affects labor costs, amenity consumption, and ancillary revenue potential.

Why it matters: Higher double occupancy increases per-room costs (breakfast, amenities, housekeeping labor) but also boosts ancillary revenue opportunities. Hotels charging a double occupancy supplement generate incremental room revenue from the metric.
