This page explains how to create a virtual room with one bed to map to a DORM for Airbnb.com
'''Example''': You have a room type (DORM) with multiple individual Airbnb does not support dorms. We can not send how many beds connected to room types at a channel or your own web siteare available. You also want to sell them on If one bed is available Airbnb.com or other channel that requires will allow a bed/unitbooking for all beds in the dorm which will cause overbookings.
It is assumed you already '''Example''': You have setup the a room type (dorm) with the number of multiple individual beds, if not, create this first(Unit Allocation = one per guest) connected to room types at a channel or your own web site. See the details of how You also want to setup DORMS, Hostels https://wiki.beds24sell them on Airbnb.comor other channel that requires a bed/indexunit.php/Hostel_and_Retreat_Setup
Create a new It is assumed you already have setup the room type with a quantity the number of 1 in SETTINGS -> PROPERTIES-> ROOMS->SETUPbeds, if not, create this first. [[Hostel_and_Retreat_Setup|See the details of how to setup dorms]].
'''Individual Bed'''
Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->SETUP and set the bed/unit to have the same characteristics of your DORM'''1. Create individual beds'''
EXCEPT Go to SETTINGS- >PROPERTIES->ROOMS->SETUP and create a new room for each bed you want to sell on Airbnb with following settings:*Quantity =1*Unit Allocation = one per bookingSet:*Maximum guests = 1
*Sell Priority = Hide (to not show the bed on your own booking page)
*Overbooking Protection =Property
Set up one for each bed you want to sell on Airbnb.  '''2. Set dependencies''' Go to SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES and use the following settings  For the rooms created for the BED/UNIT roomindividual beds:*Requires Availability in = DORMDorm.
*Combination Logic = 1 unit must be available
*Dependency Level = Ignore Sub Dependencies
*Assign Bookings to = First Available Dependency RoomDorm*Use Prices from = The individual bed/unit can have their own rates and prices or you can set them up to use the prices from the dorms.
'''DORM'''For the dorm:
*Do not set any "Availability Dependency". Leave "Assign Bookings" set to "This Room" (the default).
'''Prices'''
 
The individual bed/unit can have their own rates and prices or you can set them up to use the DORM prices at SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->ROOMS->DEPENDENCIES->"Use Prices From"
'''Bookings'''
'''If you manually add a booking you need to do this in the "DORM" room not in the individual room/bed.'''
It is possible that a booking for a bed could be made for the BED 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 BED/UNIT roomyou created for the bed. It is normally possible to reassign the individual room bookings and then manually assign the BED/UNIT room booking booking to the resulting free space. If you cannot tolerate this situation, you should not be using room types to sell your roomsthis method.
<span div class="circlewarning" >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} Note </span> Test dependencies carefully. If you are using dependencies please test thoroughly to make sure your set up reflects your rules. If you are connecting one physical room more than once to a booking channel you are risking overbookings.</div>
