Overview
This article explains a recent update to how Wheelhouse incorporates Guesty margin/markups into revenue metrics. If your Average Nightly Rate (ANR) or Nightly Revenue looks higher than it did before, this change is likely why.
What Changed
Guesty recently updated how they send reservation data — they now separate margin/markups from accommodation fare in the data they share with connected platforms.
To stay consistent with how Guesty (and KeyData) report revenue, Wheelhouse has updated its calculations accordingly:
Metric | Previously | Now |
Average Nightly Rate (ANR) | Did not fully include markups | Includes markups |
Nightly Revenue | Did not fully include markups | Includes markups |
Total Revenue | Already included markups (under Fees) | Unchanged |
Updated ANR Formula
Average Nightly Rate (ANR) = Accommodation Fare + Markups − Discounts
What This Means for You
Your ANR and Nightly Revenue may appear higher than before — this reflects the inclusion of markups that were previously categorized under Fees.
Total Revenue is not affected — markups were already counted there, just under a different category.
No action is required — this update has been applied automatically to your account.
Note: The impact on your numbers will depend on how much you use markups in your Guesty reservations. If you don't use markups, you won't see any change.
Why We Made This Change
Aligning Wheelhouse's metric definitions with Guesty and KeyData makes it easier to compare data across platforms and ensures your reporting reflects the true nightly value of each reservation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my ANR suddenly go up? If your ANR increased, it's because markups from your Guesty reservations are now included in the calculation. This is not a data error — it reflects the updated formula above.
Did my actual revenue change? No. Your underlying reservation data and Total Revenue are unchanged. This update only affects how markups are distributed across specific metrics.
