Hostaway updates hostaway.com

To minimize the impact of Covid-19 on your business, Airbnb has created a Toolkit to help you continue welcoming guests (longer stay, flexible cancellation policies and much more advice).

We have added a few improvements to the UI of Cross-Listings:

• In Listings, you will now see a line that identifies the Parent and Children.
• We have added the Parent and Child icon to dropdowns.
• When selecting a Child listing we have made it easier for you to identify the selected listing/s through modal + confirmation pop-up with all the changes

If you need to unmap a listing to fix an issue on Booking.com or Expedia you can now choose whether to keep existing reservations or not after unmapping and therefore keep your reservation and payments history.

Please note that if you choose to keep your reservations after unmapping, these will no longer be synchronized with the channels. Also, in order to avoid double bookings when you remap the listings, those reservations will not be reimported.

You can now set your minimum stay to be up to 200 nights both at the calendar and listing level. In the calendar just click on the days you wish to change the minimum stay. In Listings go to Edit > Additional Info > Minimum Stay and update it there.

Please note that Expedia only accepts a top minimum stay of 27 days. We will automatically adjust your settings for Expedia in case your minimum stay is above 27 days.

If your listing is set to instant bookable = yes in Hostaway you are now able to select which categories it applies to and export it to Airbnb:

choose between:

• Everyone
• Experienced guests
• Guests providing government ID
• Experienced guests providing government ID
