'''Setup your Property to meet Airbnb DORM setup'''
If it appears that Airbnb see your units as rooms and therefore are allowing 6 people to book each of the 6 beds.


Go to {{#fas:cog}}(SETTINGS) > PROPERTIES > DESCRIPTION >
Try changing your setup to Max guests = 1.


*Property Type = Hostel
Then as far as Airbnb is concerned, each bed is one listing and can only be booked by one person, you have 6 of these one person beds and we tell Airbnb how many beds are available..


Go to {{#fas:cog}}(SETTINGS) > CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB> SPECIFIC CONTENT >
As it is a bed for one person, only one person can book it, i.e. if a group wants more beds, each person will need to book their own bed. It is not possible to choose 2 or more people when booking because Airbnb will put them all in the same bed which is what can cause the overbooking.
*Property Type Group = boutique_hotels_and_more
 
*Listing Type = Shared room
It might be useful to give an instruction in your description that each guest needs to book individually because some guests might not understand this.
*Bathroom Shared = Choose one of the options with shared bathroom (CAN NOT BE PRIVATE)
 
Unfortunately Airbnb is not really good at having beds in a shared dorm room but this is the best way we can set it up.


Go to  {{#fas:cog}}(SETTINGS) > CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB> MAPPING > Sync Type = EVERYTHING
