Using Airbnb and Booking.com: Difference between revisions

This approach requires you to import your listings from Airbnb, establish the connection to Booking.com and import the bookings, before completing the connection to Airbnb.  

If you are not logged into an Airbnb account you will see this screen:

Click 'View Listings' and 'Import' the first listing, creating a Property in Beds24 with 1 room.

*Beds24 supports both "'Daily Prices'" and "'Occupancy Prices'" for Airbnb. Please see [[Airbnb_Mapping#Pricing_models|Pricing Models]] for more information and adjust your pricing model if required in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS)  CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > MAPPING

With sync type '''Prices and Availability''' Beds24 will only update your price data (including number of guests, extra person price, base price, taxes and fees, max stay, minimum stay, max days in advance, advance notice/same day booking cut off, last-minute discount, early-bird discount, weekly discount, monthly discount) and availability and import bookings. If you want to change your descriptions pictures or other settings you do this in Airbnb.

'''The set up process'''

Bookings are not removed from the Booking.com extranet. Existing and new bookings are always visible in the Booking.com extranet.

Initiate the connection from the property menu within the Booking.com extranet and then do the Beds24 setup.

If you have a Booking.com group account log to Booking.com and go to ACCOUNT > CONNECTIVITY PROVIDER and select Beds24 as channel manager from there.

2) Set "Booking Price Import" to either import the room price only or the room price plus unpaid extras (cleaning charges, local taxes etc.)

Some Booking.com rate ids can accept a room price plus a single occupancy price on the same rate id. If you have this rate type and want to send the single occupancy price set "Booking.com Rate Type " = "Per Day Pricing + Single". If you do not have this rate type or you are not sure set "Booking.com Rate Type "= " Per Day Pricing" or "Per Occupancy Pricing"  

Booking.com can support more than one price per room and day.  

[[Setting_Prices_for_Booking_Channels#Mapping_channel_rate_codes|Please use these mapping instructions if you have multiple rate codes]].

You can add a multiplier to your prices, add a '''*''' followed by the multiplier number in the "Multiplier" field

**'''*[CONVERT:IDR-EUR]*''' will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros and back to Indonesian Rupees on the import.

3) Make sure your inventory is correct in Beds24.  

5) Click on "Import existing bookings" This will import all upcoming bookings and block the dates in Beds24 Calendar.

<span style=color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}}  </span> If for any reason your existing bookings do not import, the dates could be reopened and resold. To prevent this import the bookings via CSV.

Follow the instructions on the page carefully so they import to the correct rooms.

9) You can allow cancellation fees and commission values to overwrite booking values when cancelled by channel if  {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS)  CHANNEL MANAGER  “Import Cancel Fees”  is set to “Yes”.

1) Change the pricing model (optional)

5) Check that the connection is working properly

<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}}  </span>  Blocked dates are not sent by Airbnb, manually update the dates in Beds24 calendar.  

<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}}  </span> We will import bookings from the last four weeks that are currently ongoing and have not yet reached their check-out date. However, please note that exceptionally long-term stays, those exceeding four weeks, will not be included in the import.
