Make sure the number of beds set up in Hostelworld is the same as in Beds24. If this i s not possible Use the setting "Number of Beds" for this room (SETTINGS-> CHANNEL MANAGER->HOSTELWORLD)
6 Notes
The password is a special API password not your regular Hostelword password. Changing the password will break the connection.
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 dorm but Private rooms will only be sold if all the beds in the room are booked together.
