  • Synchronize the prices for additional guests in default rates and also in seasons.

  • The extra cleaning fee is synchronized. Other extras cannot be synchronized or created directly in the portal.

  • We synchronize the owner's contact information, accommodation data such as name, address, coordinates, tourist license, etc.; languages spoken in the property, square meters of the room. Remember that location (coordinates) and tourist license are mandatory for this synchronization.

  • Tourist tax, VAT and deposit are synchronized as informative fields that we send to the portal.

  • The set up of the guests' ages is sent to Booking (that you configure inside the accommodation sheet). If you define the age of babies, children and adults will appear in Booking searches, when filtered by this feature. Currently no price difference will be sent. Babies will not be charged and children will be charged as adults.

  • The cards that AvaiBook supports to make collections are sent to Booking as accepted cards: Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, Diners Club, American Express, VCC, Red 6000 and UnionPay.

  • It is possible to create customized payment rules according to your hosting model. Automatic management of the cancellation policy through AvaiBook is mandatory.

  • It is NOT possible to synchronize offers. They must be created directly in the portal.

Content:

  • Your accommodation content with Booking.com is synchronized: photos, amenities, bed distribution, cancellation policies and house rules. Everything from the AvaiBook Content Manager.

  • Descriptions are not synchronized because they are automatically created by Booking in the listing, based on the amenities you have configured in AvaiBook.

  • The tags you add in the photos of the Content Manager.

The information contained in AvaiBook will be taken as priority in Booking.com. You will be able to configure increments or decrements on your prices for this portal.

Try to keep rates and availability updated for at least the next 12 months.

Synchronization of availability and reservations:

  • Complete traveler data (name, email, remarks, etc.) is recorded.

  • The number of children and their ages included in the booking are recorded.
