Hotel reports are not just numbers—they give you the full picture of your hotel's operations. These reports help you understand your business better, improve guest service, manage staff, and grow revenue. With the right system in place, using these reports becomes simple and powerful.
Why Hotel Reports Are Important
As a hotelier, your daily routine includes a lot—welcoming guests, managing bookings, checking housekeeping, handling payments, and solving unexpected issues. With so much happening, it’s hard to know exactly how your hotel is performing.
That’s where hotel reports come in. They show you the facts—what’s working, what’s not, and what needs attention. These reports give you clarity, save your time, and help you make smart choices. When you use them regularly, you’ll notice improvements in service, revenue, and team performance.
Important Hotel Reports You Should Use
Let’s go through the most important hotel reports every hotel should use, with simple examples and clear reasons for each.
1. Housekeeping Report
What it is: This report shows which rooms are clean, dirty, under maintenance, or ready for new guests.
Why it matters:
- You can quickly know which rooms are ready for check-in or still being cleaned.
- Helps front office and housekeeping staff coordinate better.
- Tracks complaints or special guest requests (like extra towels or room changes).
- Allows you to assign cleaning tasks fairly among staff and follow up easily.
Tip: Run this report before and after every shift for better communication between departments.
2. Night Audit Report
What it is: A full-day summary that includes income, guest activity, and financial details.
Why it matters:
- Confirms that all transactions during the day were recorded correctly.
- Shows total room and POS (restaurant, bar, etc.) earnings.
- Lists no-shows, cancellations, and pending payments.
- Prepares accounts for the next business day.
With a good PMS, this report is generated automatically, saving you hours of manual work.
3. Sales & Marketing Report
What it is: A report that tracks how your hotel is doing in terms of bookings and sales through different channels and campaigns.
Why it matters:
- See which salesperson is bringing in the most business.

Why it matters:

A strong financial report gives you peace of mind and helps with long-term planning.
5. POS Outlet Report
What it is: A report that tracks earnings from your restaurants, bars, spa, gift shop, or any outlet other than rooms.
Why it matters:
- Shows which outlets are performing best.
- Helps you understand guest preferences by seeing which items sell more.
- Lets you spot underperforming services and improve or remove them.
Tip: Use this data to design combos, happy hour deals, and cross-sell during check-in.
6. Guest History Report

Why it matters:
- Helps staff deliver a personal experience every time the guest visits.
- Identifies VIP guests and loyal customers.
- Makes communication and service faster and better.
Makes it easier to send targeted offers or birthday greetings that guests love.
7. Occupancy Report
What it is: A report that shows how many rooms are occupied, available, blocked, or under maintenance.
Why it matters:

Combine this report with your revenue management system to set smart room rates.
8. Source of Business Report

Why it matters:
- Helps you understand which channels bring the most business.
- Shows if you're spending too much on commission-based channels.
