What is the meaning \/ definition of MaxLOS \u2013 Maximum Length of Stay in Hotels in the hospitality industry<\/a>?<\/p>\n

At a hotel<\/a>, sometimes the number of nights an individual guest, couple or family can stay<\/a> has to be limited, even if the hotel is intensely focused upon maximising revenue! This can apply to a group booking<\/a>, too, particularly if arrival is planned for a certain date and where a group booking discount has been offered and availed of.<\/p>\n

The hotel\u2019s revenue management team, in conjunction with the overall hotel manager, will assess the situation and possibly impose a booking limitation, after considering how many rooms could be sold to other customers at higher rates. Imposing this restraint is done by using a controlling tool called Maximum Length of Stay or MaxLOS<\/a>. This is orginally from airlines, and is not so much used in hotels.<\/p>\n

City hotels are using it currently to avoid long-stay \u2018ghost\u2019 reservations which are used for obtaining a Visa. Such reservations are cancelled late or no-show, but as a ghost credit card is use, the hotel cannot charge a penalty fee. Hotel protect themselves from these types of bookings by use the MaxLos yield restriction.<\/p>\n
