adding a3rd party booking thinggy to PMP

Trying to find a more professional look (than std PMP) to booking on our (soon finished) website.
I would like to have a drop down from the calendar with the holiday price.
I have a month`s trial of bookalet.
After much maths, managed to get it to price our short breaks,
( 2days @ 70%, 3@75% , 4@80, 5@90% of week rate) .
All good but when you go to the booking page it then looks very confusing to the customer - e.g.base price £2400 discount £1980. Amount due £420.
Does anyone have a booking system that will handle different rates for different length of stay?
Best,

Not quite suer why you find it confusing - except that from the example quoted, you seem to be offering an 80% discount to the price rather than the cost of the stay being 80% of the base price.

Sorry, me not being clear.
The only way bookalet can handle 4 nights being 80% of a weeks rate is to make the nightly rate the same as the weekly rate (in this case £600). You then set a discount so that the (4 x £600) is reduced to £480.
I feel that this is confusing to the customer as they will see base price £2400, discount 80%, amount to pay £480.
Does anyone use a booking widget that will simply let you set 2 nights, 3 nights 4 nights etc as a percentage of the weekly rate?
Struggling with this web site now

PIMS will price up a 2,3,4 or 5 days stay exactly as you have described, but the widget in your website doesn't quite work as you suggested.
Guest will complete a simple form with start and end dates (plus whatever else you choose to ask) and then come back with a fixed price quote and an (optional) offer to book (i.e. complete a full booking form) at that price for those dates.
You can see this in action at

Booking at Balmoral calculates each day at 1/7th of a week
Booking at Sandringham uses your short break plan calculation
