Do you want to set up Airbnb with occupancy rates?
We only have to be careful with some of the features that can make this process a bit tricky!
First of all, we need to keep in mind that Airbnb works with ads listings therefore does not require the link in the mapping of all the rates as you may have seen for Booking.com.
Each typology of room will be mapped once only with the corresponding Airbnb listing
How to map Airbnb correctly?
It depends on how you want to sell your rooms, you have two options:
- If you want to sell your rooms with a fix price per day, you only have to map the maximum occupancy of your Octorate room with le listing of Airbnb:
- If you want to sell your rooms with a price that depends on the number of occupants you will have to follow the steps explained in this article👇
Example: I have an apartment for 4 people but I want to sell it with a base price of 2 people and add 10 euros for each additional guest.
- In the mapping section I link the the basic occupation, the one with the starting price, with the Airbnb listing
- Click on Rooms > Show > Edit on the rate connected with Airbnb and click here:
- In the new page click on “download content from portal”
Await the outcome of the operation. This is necessary to download in Octorate all the information of the Airbnb’s listing. Whenever you need to edit information in your Airbnb listing, we always advise you to do this before making any changes.
- In the section “General information” set the maximum number of guests for this listing:
- In the section “Rates” set the minimum capacity level and a price per extra person
⚠️ ATTENTION: By setting “ Minimum number of guests” 2, , It will also be possible to 1 person to book, but at the same price of 2 people, the price for each extra guest will be applied by the third person onwards.
- After all these steps you will need to click on Save and Send to portals
Remember to launch a synchronisation with airbnb once you’ve done!
See you soon!
