It is possible that a booking for a bed could be made where there is always an individual bed available but not the same one on each night. In this case the booking will remain in the room you created for the bed. It is normally possible to reassign the individual room bookings and then manually assign the booking booking to the resulting free space. If you cannot tolerate this situation, you should not be using this method.

Sell dorms on Airbnb
This page explains how to create a virtual room with one bed to map to a DORM for Airbnb.com

Airbnb supports dorms. We can send inventory/how many beds are available.

Example: You have a room type (dorm) with multiple individual beds (Unit Allocation = one per guest) connected to room types at a channel or your own website. You also want to sell them on Airbnb.com or other channel that requires a bed/unit.

It is assumed you already have setup the room type with the number of beds, if not, create this first. See the details of how to setup dorms.


Setup your Property to meet Airbnb DORM setup

Go to (SETTINGS) > PROPERTIES > DESCRIPTION >

  • Property Type = Hostel

Go to (SETTINGS) > CHANNEL MANAGER > AIRBNB> SPECIFIC CONTENT >

  • Property Type Group = boutique_hotels_and_more
  • Listing Type = Shared room
  • Bathroom Shared = Choose one of the options with shared bathroom (CAN NOT BE PRIVATE)
