Cloudbeds shows how the same physical dorm can be sold as individual beds or as a private room. Label the unit sold before comparing campaign order values: a private-room purchase can include several beds without representing several independently acquired customers.

In Cloudbeds' split-inventory example, linked accommodation options share physical capacity. A private-room sale makes the associated beds unavailable, and a bed sale affects competing room options. Check the linked inventory behind the promoted offer rather than treating each listing as independent stock.

HI USA's San Francisco group page routes groups of ten or more to its group sales team. That contact is a sales step, not evidence of a paid stay. Keep inquiries and confirmed bookings distinct when assessing a campaign aimed at group organizers.
