How does Hosthub manage reservation approvals and calendar synchronization for connected booking channels?

Hosthub is designed to streamline property management by integrating with external booking platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com. While it provides powerful features for synchronizing calendars and reservations, there are certain key points to understand about its limitations and workflow for managing reservations.

Approving Reservations

Hosthub does not directly manage the approval process for reservations made through connected booking platforms. If you receive a reservation request:

• Approve Directly on the Booking Channel: Reservations need to be approved directly on the platform where they were requested, such as Airbnb or Booking.com. Hosthub does not have permissions to approve bookings on your behalf.
• Syncing Approved Reservations: Once a reservation has been approved on the original booking channel, Hosthub will automatically synchronize it to your Hosthub calendar. This synchronization extends to all other active connected channels, ensuring consistency across platforms.

Calendar Synchronization

Hosthub ensures that all approved reservations are reflected in your property’s calendar to prevent double bookings and manage availability effectively. The synchronization process happens automatically after you approve the reservation on the external platform.

Best Practices

• Ensure Connections Are Active: Verify that your Hosthub account is properly connected to all relevant booking channels for seamless synchronization.
• Check Regularly: Although synchronization is automatic, periodically confirm that updates are reflected across all channels to avoid discrepancies.

By understanding how reservation approval and calendar synchronization work with Hosthub, property managers can make better use of its features and maintain efficiency across multiple platforms.
