Booking Mechanics
Average Length of Stay ALOS
Your mean booking length over a period.
Why you care
ALOS is the single biggest driver of your turnover cost line, and it is the lever most owners never touch.
Worked example
Moving ALOS from 3.1 to 4.4 nights on a house selling 200 nights cuts you from 64 turns to 45 — about $2,850 a year in cleaning you simply stop paying.
