3 Limitations

• Blocked dates in Airbnb are NOT imported, you need to block in Beds24.
• You can only connect listings which are live on Airbnb.
• Listings in properties which Airbnb considers "traditional hospitality" like hotels, Bed & Breakfast rooms and small inns are approved by Airbnb on a case by case basis.
• If you do not have Daily Prices or Fixed Prices in which "Airbnb" is activated in the "Channels" tab the "Base Price" (Rack Rate) will be used up to a year in advance.
• Smart Pricing is not available for API connected listings.
• Airbnb applies the minimum stay " first night only" meaning restrictions must only be satisfied for the arrival date of the booking but not on every day of the booking.
• Connecting a listing by API is not compatible with internal calendar linking inside Airbnb.

If you intend to connect the listing by API and want it linked to another listing you can do that but the linking must be established inside Beds24. Use Beds24 Dependencies to manage inventory across multiple listings.

Airbnb does not allow Co-hosts to connect listings or disconnect listings. Only owners can make API connections. This means if you are a Co-Host Airbnb will not allow you to connect your co-hosted listings via Beds24 (or any other channel manager). Solutions to this limitation are:

• Ask the host to transfer their account to you.
• Your hosts make the connection between their Airbnb accounts and Beds24 themselves
  • You can create a (temporary) subaccount in Beds24 for each of your owners. Your hosts will have a login where they then can connect their Airbnb accounts.
  • If you manage a large number of properties we can give you the "Connect with Airbnb Account" button. Your owners will then be able to use this button outside of Beds24 so they will not need to log into

4 Before you connect

4.1 Prices

• We can only send availability if you have set up prices which are activated for Airbnb under "Channels" in the Daily Prices or Fixed Prices.

This tutorial explains how to set prices for channels.

• Airbnb requires a "Base Price" (Rack Rate) which you can set under (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > PROPERTY CONTENT > ROOM CONTENT. Make sure you are prepared to accept a booking for the "Base Price. If you do not have Daily Prices or Fixed Prices which are activated for channel management or in which "Airbnb" is activated the rack rate will be used up to a year in advance.
• In (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT you can set rules for dates with no price. If you require minimum stays we recommend you set this to the default "Close the Room" because we can not send minimum stays to the Base Price.
• You can set a multiplier to mark your price up or down.

4.2 Bookings and Requests

In instances of Airbnb bookings cancelled by the host, marked as "Cancelled by Host," please note that Airbnb maintains a restriction preventing the reopening of dates for the same property. Airbnb will not reopen dates when you have previously cancelled a booking. The dates should be available on all other channels.

When you use the API connection Airbnb only allows instant bookings. In (SETTINGS) > CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT you can set which groups of guests are allowed to book. Strictest is only to allow experienced Airbnb guests who provide government ID to book.

In (SETTINGS) > CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT you can also add a "Custom Value" if you allow guests to send a request if they want to stay longer than your maximum stay rule allows.

After the connection has been successfully set up you can import upcoming existing bookings from Airbnb and all new bookings will automatically import.

Inquiries and requests are only imported if you opt in to importing them.

Other bookings can be uploaded as a .csv file in (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES.

To manually add or blocked dates click on the suitcase icon in the CALENDAR or on "Add Booking" at the top.

If you do not need the actual booking you can adjust the availability in the CALENDAR in the row "Inventory". The number shows rooms remaining to sell. They can be edited to quickly change your availability. Double-click to open a pop-up and save the changes. (it is only possible to lower the number based on the value in (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ROOMS > SETUP "Quantity of this type" and any existing bookings).

Airbnb collects the payment from your guest. Channel collect payments will be shown in the booking invoice if (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER under “Channel Collect Invoice” is set to import them. If you want to import the "Expected Payout amount" or the "Expected Payout and actual payment" from Airbnb you need to set this in (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER under "Airbnb" "Invoice".

By changes or updates of an existing booking, Airbnb will not dynamically update the cost for extra guests if a reservation alteration is initiated by either the host or the guest.

The host can reject the reservation alteration and can update the guest count and the cost of the extra guests, then send the alteration to the main guest, who will need to accept the new reservation.

4.3 Properties, rooms and room types

A listing in Airbnb is a room in Beds24.

Our connection supports room types with a quantity of more than one. If you want to send a quantity of more than one you can not use "House" as the property type.

The name sent is:

• For properties with one unit: property name
• For properties with more than one unit type it consists of property name - room name.

4.4 Local legal requirements

Airbnb will only accept any listing which comply to local laws. Ensure you comply with any permitting, zoning, safety, and health regulations, inform yourself about any local taxes or business license requirements or other regulations that may apply.

Japan, Portugal , Spain, France, Germany

For other regions please check the Airbnb help pages.

5 Set the connection up

5.1 Property settings

If you have multiple rooms in a property these settings will apply to all rooms in the property.

Step 1: Connect your Airbnb account to your property

Each property can connect to one Airbnb Account. Select the Airbnb account you want to connect to.

If no Airbnb account is available go to (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > ACCOUNTS and connect your account.

Step 2 - Apply a multiplier to mark your prices up or down (optional)

If you want to add a multiplier to your prices add a * followed by the multiplier number.

The multiplier applies to all prices and fees which are sent.

For example *1.23 will multiply all prices by 1.23 (i.e. raised by 23%). Lower prices can be sent with a multiplier less than 1, i.e. *0.85 will send a price 85% of the normal price (i.e. lowered by 15%)

To convert the price of bookings imported add a * after the multiplier, for example *1.23* will divide the price of the booking by 1.23.

You can also use currency conversion template variable. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used.

For example *[CONVERT:IDR-EUR] will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros.

Step 3: Check the currency setting is correct

Airbnb only supports following currencies: ARS,AUD,BRL,CAD,CHF,CNY,CZK,DKK,EUR,GBP,HKD,HUF,IDR,ILS,INR,JPY,KRW,MYR,MXN,NOK,NZD,PHP,PLN,RUB,SEK,SGD,THB,TRY,TWD,USD,VND,ZAR

If you are using a different currency in Beds24 select one of the above and use the multiplier (above) for conversion.

Step 4 - Import inquiries from Aribnb (optional)

If you import inquiries Beds24 will create a booking with the status "Inquiry". If the request turns into a confirmed booking the status will automatically change. If you want to automatically cancel requests which do not turn into confirmed bookings you can set up an Auto Action to automatically cancel the booking after a certain period.

Bookings with the status "Inquiry" do not block the room. If you want to block the room for example if you have made the guest an offer you need to change the status manually.

Step 5 - Assign an invoicee (optional)

If you need to send invoices which are different from your standard invoice you can use the invoicee function.

5.2 Connect listings you already have on Airbnb

By mapping a room you connect it so it can update a listing in Airbnb.

Step 1 - Change the pricing model (optional)

Select "Occupancy Pricing" if you want to send prices for different numbers of guests and/or different length of stay. See the chapter "Pricing Models" below for more information.

If you want to change your discounts, descriptions, pictures, or other settings you do this in Airbnb.

If you want to change your descriptions pictures or other settings you do this in Airbnb.

With sync type Everything also your existing listings descriptive content will be overridden by the descriptive content in Beds24 and can no longer be edited in Airbnb.

If you want to sync everything your listing needs to meet Airbnbs requirements. If you see a red button "Fix Content Errors" your listing does not meet Airbnb requirements. Click on the button. Any settings which do not meet Airbnb requirements are highlighted on red. Click on the links to go to the settings where you can fix the problems.

Always go to "View Content" to check what will send to Airbnb before selecting Everything.

Step 4: Connect

12 Options for the sync types

12.1 Pricing models

Airbnb supports different pricing models.

Click on the "Price Data" Button to check which prices and availability will send.

12.1.1 Per Day Pricing

Choose Per Day Pricing (the default) if you have only ONE price per date.

If you have multiple prices activated for Airbnb with different minimum stays the system will send the price with the lowest minimum stay. Of the ones with the lowest minimum stay the one with the highest occupancy will be used.

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.

Only a global max. stay which is taken from (SETTINGS) > PROPERTIES > ROOMS > SETUP can send.

In (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT you can set

• The number of guests for which the daily price applies.
• An extra person price.

12.1.2 Per Occupancy (LOS) Pricing

Choose Per Occupancy Pricing if you want to send prices for different occupancies and/or different length of stay.

If you use fixed prices the price for each occupancy defined in Beds24 and prices for different length of stay can be sent.1 person, 2 person and room price will send. Room price will send for specified occupancy. Multiple prices with different occupancies can send. Prices for "Extra Person", "Extra child" and discounts set in the "Discounts" tab of the Fixed Prices can not be sent.

If you use daily prices the daily price will send including occupancy. Multiple occupancy prices can send. Extra person price will send.

The "Min Stay" set in the Calendar, Daily Prices or Fixed Prices will send.

When sending different prices for different length of stay (LOS), the room restriction strategy must be set to "Stay through". The restriction strategy "First night" may not calculate the correct pricing after the first night.

We can send prices up to 28 days but guests can book longer stays if there are no restrictions. Airbnb will apply the average of the price of 28 days for days 29+.

The "Max Stay" set for the room will send. Max stays set in the prices will be ignored.

Beds24 sends the price for max. 16 guests. If your property accommodates more than 16 guests use "Per Day" pricing with an extra person price.

Due to limitations with Airbnbs multi calendar Airbnb can not show the correct prices in your Airbnb Extranet. The correct prices will be shown to the guest though and the prices sent from Beds24 will be applied for all bookings. If you want to check prices on Airbnb please start a booking for your listing.

Due to limitations at Airbnb if there is a change to the number of guests, Airbnb will not dynamically update the cost for extra guests if a reservation alteration is initiated by either the host or the guest.

The host can reject the reservation alteration and can update the guest count and the cost of the extra guests, then send the alteration to the main guest, who will need to accept the new reservation.

12.1.3 Rate Plans

Rate plans are the pricing model of choice if you want

• to offer a refundable and a non-refundable option and
  • set prices for refundable and non-refundable instead of Airbnbs fixed discount option
  • control the cancellation policy for refundable and non-refundable prices
  • control availability of the refundable/non-refundable booking option.
• parity with other channels which support rate plans i.e. Booking.com or Expedia.

You can create up to 10 rate plans which can be used for all listings in the Airbnb account. A maximum of 2 rate plans will be displayed to guests at a given time depending on the cancellation policy. Airbnb will display one refundable and another non-refundable rate plan and out of these (a) the lowest and (b) the most flexible rate.

A price for each occupancy defined in Beds24 can be sent.

• If you use daily prices the daily price will send including occupancy. Multiple occupancy prices can send on each rate plan. Extra person price will send.
• If you use fixed prices the Single, Double and room price will send. Room price will send for specified occupancy. Multiple prices with different occupancies can send on same rate plan. Prices for "Extra Person", "Extra child" and discounts set in the "Discounts" tab of the Fixed Preice can not be sent.

If you want to send prices for different length of stay you need a rate plan for each.

The "Min Stay" and "Max Stay" set in the Calendar, Daily Prices or Fixed Price will send.

For more information and setup instructions click here.

12.2 Discounts

If you have "Early Bird" or "Last Minute" prices which are activated for Airbnb these will automatically send. Airbnb will not mark these as promotions though.

In (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT you can set:

• A discount for 2 or more days, weekly or monthly. Use either the discounts for the number of days or month/week, but not both because the discount per day will override the discount per week/month.
• A discount for "Non Refundable" bookings. If you select a sync type "Limited," you can set a non-refundable discount in your Airbnb extranet.
• Early Bird and Last Minute Discounts which Airbnb will mark as promotions.

You can also create "Pricing Rules" directly in Airbnb, but we recommend you set all prices in Beds24 to avoid confusion.

Early bird or Last Minute offer are only marked as promotions if the price drops at least 10% from what Airbnb defines as the last 30 days median price. If you use both early bird and last minute and want to remove one, you will need to remove both because Airbnb will only remove them together. After you have clicked "Update" to send the change, you can reactivate the one you want to keep.

Please refer to Airbnb for more information on Discounts.

12.3 Fees and taxes

If you apply fees or taxes you need to send them from Beds24.

• Cleaning fee

You can set under (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > PROPERTY CONTENT > ROOM CONTENT.

Other fees supported by Airbnb can be sent as CUSTOM value in (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER >AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT. If you apply a linen fee Airbnb will add this to the cleaning fee.

• PETFEE 45 (for example)

If you have a price multiplier in (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB, > MAPPING this will also be applied to the Cleaning fee. If you want to override this, then use a CUSTOM value in (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER >AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT.

• If you want to send taxes click on "Check if you are eligible to send taxes" in (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT. If Airbnb allows you to send taxes you can set them under "Custom". Please click on the context help for "Custom" for detailed instructions

12.4 Permit / Registration/ License

If this is required for your property, please go to (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > DESCRIPTION "Permit ID" and enter your details.

Permit IDs in Beds24 are set per property. If you have a different permit Id than the one set for the property you can set a room specific permit as "Custom" value in (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT.

13 Send and receive messages

You can get communicate with Airbnb guest directly from Beds24. This function works for:

• Confirmed bookings
• Inquiries/Requests - if you receive a message from a potential guest inquiring Beds24 will create a request booking. If the request turns into a confirmed booking the status will automatically change. If you want to automatically cancel requests which do not turn into confirmed bookings you can set up an Auto Action to automatically cancel the booking after a certain period.

You can view all messages from the "Messages" component on the DASHBOARD and individual communication from the "API Messages" tab in the booking. You and your guests will see the messages in Airbnb. When a guest sends an attachment, Airbnb makes it available for one hour. Click on “ Reload messages” to reload the image.

To use this function you should:

1. Add the component "API Messages" to your DASHBOARD

2. To send Auto Action Emails via messaging set "Send Message" on the "Messaging" tab in the Auto Action to one of the API options. We will remove the HTML from the message because Airbnb does not support HTML. You have the option to add a plain text message for this purpose.

Airbnb supports attachments in JPG, GIF and PNG format.

Unfortunately, a server error prevented your request from being completed. Airbnb may be undergoing maintenance or your connection may have timed out. Please try again.

If you continue to see this error message being reported, then check if there is an outage at Airbnb, we will send an update as soon as their system is restored. Or go to (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > MAPPING > scroll to the listing and click 'UPDATE'.

Calendar will not Load, it will only show a loading spinner wheel.

Please check that you have prices set and they are sending to AirBnb, have a look under

 (SETTINGS) > CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > MAPPING, and click on "Price Data" to check if prices are being sent to AirBnb.

Sorry, we cannot activate your listing.

Beds24 sent the data but it is stuck at Airbnb. Try the following:

1. Go to  (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > MAPPING
2. Click on "Disconnect"
4. Refresh the page then connect again
5. Wait a bit and then check the "Connection status"
If you then still see "Importing" in Airbnb contact Airbnb support and ask them to check why your listings are stuck. You might need to insist that they forward your request to someone who is qualified to do so.

Please check you are logged out of all airbnb accounts at airbnb before trying to connect a new one to beds24.

It could be that you are already logged into a connected airbnb account so airbnb send you back to beds24 when you click the connect button.

Receiving Requests/Inquiries for dates already booked

The problem is caused because Airbnb thinks your listing is a multi unit with more than one bookable unit.
This can happen if at any time you had a qty greater than one.
Once it happens, the only way to set it back to a standard listing is to disconnect the listing from Beds24 and then reconnect it.
This is because it is Airbnb policy not to change this listing type while it is connected.
It will then connect immediately as a standard listing with a qty of one and the calendar will sync properly.

No prices/availability in Airbnb

Your max_days_notice setting in Airbnb is set to zero which is making the listing unavailable.
You can adjust it directly in Airbnb, it is called maximum advance notice or similar.
Or you can set it to a specific value in Beds24 (Max Days in Advance = 365) and upload it to Airbnb via the Export to Airbnb button.
Note:  (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB > SPECIFIC CONTENT > PRICING > Max Days in Advance = No Limit in Beds24 will not change the value already set in Airbnb.

Availability in Beds24/Dates closed in Airbnb
