1. keep seperate listings for entire house and individual rooms . then keep the minimum rate for booking as close to what you expect for full house booking . say if you are looking for 200 per night for all rooms , dont set any discount or keep very less discount for 2 people ,
down side of this approach is , you the house will be prefered only by bigger group due to rates ( I do this ) and keep like 5% discount for less people
2. if house is self checkin i think keeping flat rate for 2 or 8 is only safe option .
3. i ask the house keeping staff to go and greet the guests and if extra we charge like 30 per person this charge i keep less that what they would have paid other wise in any bnb
what you should also do is, if you have booking with discount for 2 i.e different price for 2 and 8 guests ,i would recommend go to fianance section and download excel sheets for all booking and review the pattern if yoru bigger business is from 2 guests that is most of your bookings are 2 guests , you can check while greeting to show house controls etc and meeting guests during checkin if you can .
i made and execl sheet to review this so i can make better decisions
