# How to create Guarantee Price Type in Spoonbill PMS.

**What is a Guarantee?**
A **guarantee price type** means that the rooms reserved are **guaranteed by the partner or guest** and cannot be released automatically back to the hotel. Unlike allotments, the hotel is secured because the reservation is binding, even if the guest list is not yet added.

**How it works in Spoonbill PMS:**

- When you create a **Price Type – Guarantee**, the reservation stays valid regardless of whether guest details have been added.
- The way to do this in our system is to set release days as 0.
- Since the rooms are guaranteed, they are not released automatically back into availability (as happens with allotments).

**Example:**
If a partner books 5 rooms under a guarantee price type, those 5 rooms remain blocked for them until check-in (or until the partner cancels). Even if no guest list is provided, the hotel has the guarantee that the rooms are secured.

- Click on the **Configurations** icon.

- Once you've done that, a new section named **Release days** will appear. Make sure to set it as **0**.
