*If you use daily prices with "Extra Person" prices your daily price needs to be set for the max occupancy and the "Extra Person" price needs to be added with a negative value so the price for the full occupancy can send.
*The maximum stay accepted by HostelWorld is 14 days.
'''Private Rooms'''
To sell a complete room at Hostelworld set it to a "Private" room type in their system. We will still send the bed price as per a bed but Private rooms will only be sold if all the beds in the room are booked together.

Existing bookings are not automatically imported when the connection is established and should be entered into Beds24 manually.

Bookings coming from a channel should be modified by the channel. Cancelling a booking in Beds24 will not cancel the booking in the channel and can cause a double booking.
If for some reason you need to make a change in Beds24 and do not want an update from the channel to override it, you can set "Allow Channel Modifications" = No ("Details" tab of the booking").
