Reservation

One reservation: the stay, the price breakdown, the guest, and how to change, cancel or resend it.

What this page is for

Everything about one reservation, with the actions your team needs: change the guest's details, change the dates or guests, cancel with the right refund, mark a no-show, or send the confirmation again.

Who can use it

How to change the dates or guests

Under Change dates or guests, enter the new values and select Change and reprice. The new price is worked out with today's prices. The message tells you if it costs more or less. The guest gets an email about the change.

How to cancel

  1. Choose Who is cancelling. A guest cancellation follows the policy shown; a host cancellation refunds in full.
  2. Enter a reason.
  3. Select Cancel reservation. The nights become free again and the guest gets an email.

FAQs

What does the red overbooked message mean? Another channel booked the same unit for the same nights. Move the guest to another unit through the booking, or cancel one of the bookings.

Troubleshooting

Problem What to do
The change is refused The new nights are not available or break a stay rule; the message says which.
No cancel button The reservation is already cancelled, completed or a no-show.
