August

This month, we're continuing to expand AvaiBook's capabilities: we're launching the integration with idealista for accommodation intended for stays of more than 28 days, Market Data now provides better analysis for partial accommodation, and scheduled payments include a new alert to help prevent failures caused by expired cards.

More visibility, more accuracy and more control over your management.

New payment management for your bookings

We've redesigned the booking payment section so you can find all the information in one place and know what action to take at any given time.

See the outstanding amount, payments already made, card status and scheduled payment rules at a glance. Depending on the booking status, you can also collect a payment, share a Pay by Link or schedule the payment directly from the booking details.

Connect your accommodation to idealista from AvaiBook

The idealista integration is now available in AvaiBook for accommodation intended for stays of more than 28 days.

Connect your accommodation and start publishing it on idealista directly from AvaiBook.

Follow the step-by-step guide and activate the integration: idealista

New rental type filter in Market Data

Until now, Market Data metrics were designed for entire properties, making it difficult to obtain representative data when analysing partial accommodation.

From now on, when you access Market Data with partial accommodation selected, you'll find a new rental type filter with two options: "Entire property" and "Private room".

The system will automatically select the corresponding option based on the type of accommodation linked to Airbnb, although you can change it manually to compare how the metrics vary.

With this improvement, you can:

  • Analyse and compare partial accommodation by selecting "Private room".

  • Get more relevant comparables by excluding accommodation belonging to the same owner.

  • Speed up your analysis by automatically preselecting the rental type according to the Airbnb connection.

This feature is available exclusively with the Pro Plan o Elite.

New expired card alert for scheduled payments

To help prevent scheduled payment failures, we've added a new alert to the email guests receive when the card associated with their booking has expired.

From now on, the system will automatically check the card status. If it has expired, the email will display an alert and an "Update card" button, allowing the guest to add a new card directly from their booking.

If the card is still valid, the email will continue to be sent as usual.

With this improvement, you can:

  • Prevent payment failures caused by expired cards.

  • Make it easier for guests to update their card directly from the email.

  • Reduce manual work resulting from failed payments.


July

Throughout July, we continued improving the platform with new features designed to make day-to-day accommodation management easier, while also beginning the rollout of major updates that will be progressively released over the coming weeks.

New access to Online Security

We've added a new Online Security link to the login screen and the Terms and Conditions section, both on the web version and the mobile app.

Go to the Security Vulnerability Reporting article, where you'll find the official procedure for reporting security vulnerabilities, providing an accessible communication channel aligned with European regulations.

With this improvement, we can:

  • Comply with the requirements of the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

  • Provide an official channel for reporting vulnerabilities.

  • Maintain a consistent experience across the web and mobile app.

  • Include security information alongside the other legal links without affecting the user experience.

More transparency in the Booking Engine payment summary

We've improved the Booking Engine payment summary so guests can see a breakdown of each extra and surcharge included in the price before confirming their booking.

The summary now also clearly displays the payment rule configured for the accommodation, including the amount to be charged at the time of booking, the outstanding amount and the scheduled date for the remaining payment.

With this improvement, we can:

  • Provide greater transparency during the booking process.

  • Reduce enquiries related to extras or charges.

  • Improve guest confidence and help increase conversion.

  • Offer a clearer and more consistent experience across all devices.

Airbnb introduces new automatic discounts for your listings

Airbnb has added two automatic discounts that you can activate to improve the visibility of your listings: a 10% discount for bookings made through the mobile app and a 15% discount for highly rated guests (4.8★ or higher and at least 3 reviews).

Outstanding payment alerts in the booking list

We've added a new section featuring the most important outstanding payment alerts, so you can quickly identify bookings that require action before check-in.

From one place, you can see the reason for the alert, the outstanding amount and access the booking directly to manage the payment with a single click.

With this improvement, you can:

  • Identify bookings that require immediate action at a glance.

  • Manage outstanding payments more quickly.

  • Save time by avoiding the need to manually review every booking.

  • Reduce the risk of unpaid bookings before the guest arrives.


June

Throughout June, we introduced major improvements designed to optimise payment management, strengthen integrations with the main portals, expand analysis tools and continue improving the day-to-day experience for owners and property managers.

Improvements to tourist tax settings in Booking Full Sync

If you use the Booking.com Full Sync connection, we've expanded the tourist tax settings available from AvaiBook.

You can now define in greater detail how the tourist tax should be applied and displayed for bookings coming from Booking.com. View article

New partner available: Certicalia by idealista

You can now access Certicalia by idealista services directly from AvaiBook to manage the documentation required for your tourist accommodation.

Through their qualified professionals, you can quickly and 100% online arrange certificates and licences such as:

  • Tourist Licence

  • Certificate of Occupancy

  • And much more...

Keep your business compliant, avoid penalties and spend your time on what really matters: your guests.

Visual improvement when creating manual bookings

We've visually improved the Payment conditions section when creating bookings to help you more easily identify the safest and recommended option.

Pending online payment (Recommended): Allows the guest to complete the payment and add their card details through a secure link, helping to guarantee the booking.

Confirmed option: Now displays a warning indicating that bookings without a payment guarantee have a 30% higher risk of non-payment or cancellation.

For greater security, we recommend always requesting the guest's card details. How to guarantee your bookings

Booking.com: activate the new accommodation promotion from AvaiBook

From now on, when you connect new accommodation to Booking.com Full Sync from AvaiBook, you can activate the promotion for new accommodation directly during the synchronisation process.

This promotion applies an initial 20% discount, helping to improve your listing's visibility and attract your first bookings and reviews.

A more complete integration to make setting up your accommodation even easier. Want to know how it works?

Greater security and protection for payments

We're continuing to strengthen payment security by adding a new layer of consent to provide greater protection against potential claims or chargebacks.

From now on, guests must expressly accept the payment conditions before completing the Fast Check-in process.

In addition, booking and payment receipts will include the guest's signature, the date and time of acceptance and the IP address from which it was completed.

This improvement provides greater traceability and additional evidence to strengthen the protection of payments made. View the details

More information about your booking cancellation policy

We're continuing to improve the information available in booking details.

From now on, bookings from Vrbo, Expedia and HomeToGo will also display the cancellation policy under the "More information" tab, just as Booking.com, Airbnb and other compatible channels already do.

This means you can easily check the cancellation conditions associated with each booking from one place, regardless of the channel through which it was made. Take a look!

Fewer notifications, more useful information

We've optimised notifications related to guest registration submissions so you only receive alerts when your intervention is actually required.

From 8 June, you'll no longer receive emails when a submission is pending processing or has been processed successfully. Notifications will only be sent if an error occurs during submission or processing.

With this improvement, we're reducing unnecessary notifications and making guest registration management clearer and simpler.

A new Statistics Dashboard: faster and more comprehensive

We've completely revamped the Statistics Dashboard to offer a faster, more stable experience with much more useful information for analysing the performance of your accommodation.

You can now view your main business indicators, booking and revenue trends, performance by accommodation and channel, occupancy metrics and much more from a single screen.

We've also optimised the section's performance so it remains fast and smooth, even for accounts with a high volume of bookings. View all the details.

More control over Airbnb Instant Book

We've improved the Instant Book settings so AvaiBook correctly synchronises all available options with Airbnb.

You can now choose whether to allow instant bookings from all guests or only from highly rated guests, while keeping the settings synchronised with Airbnb at all times.

With this improvement, you'll get:

  • Full synchronisation with your Airbnb settings.

  • Greater control over who can book instantly.

  • Fewer differences between AvaiBook and Airbnb.

  • Fewer discrepancies related to Instant Book.

Rentalia comes to idealista

Accommodation published on Rentalia can now appear in idealista's new "Holiday Rentals" section, increasing visibility among thousands of travellers.

May

Throughout May, we continued evolving the platform with improvements focused on user experience, booking management, portal connectivity, electronic invoicing and tools for owners and property managers.

New parameters in rental agreements

  • Booking extras

  • Tourist tax

  • NRUA and licences

  • Italian National Identification Code (CIN)

  • Booking channel/source

More visibility into the status of your portal connections

We've improved how portal connection statuses are displayed so you can more easily identify the current status of each integration and when action is required.

From now on, in the Channel Manager section you'll see clearer statuses such as Connected, Pending portal action, Incomplete configuration or Connection in progress, along with visual indicators and explanatory messages.

For Booking.com, we also display the active synchronisation type (Full Sync or Lite Sync) to give you even greater visibility into your connection type.

Redesigned Amounts section in the booking details

We've redesigned the Amounts section to display the actual booking price more clearly and consistently. The information is now organised with Stay, Extras and Total as the main elements, while Advance payment and Remaining amount are displayed in a collapsible section within the total.

There are no changes to calculations, payments or payment methods; this update only affects how financial information is displayed. View the full guide

New Booking Engine menu organisation

We've updated the Booking Engine menu structure to align it with the product's evolution and make navigation simpler and more intuitive.

Key changes include moving important elements such as Easy Web and Domain to the top level, reorganising sections according to how they're used and making visual adjustments to the icons for greater consistency.

No functional changes, but a clear improvement in usability and efficiency.

New Rentalia payment rule settings!

To stay aligned with Rentalia, we've updated the configuration of its payment rules.

From now on, this portal will have its own independent configuration, adapted to how Rentalia operates. View all the details here

Is your accommodation in Catalonia?

You can now connect your rural accommodation to Airbnb using the NRUA rural tourism exemption.

With this improvement in AvaiBook, you can avoid connection and synchronisation errors for accommodation where this type of exemption applies.

What's changing?

From now on, within the Airbnb settings, you'll be able to select: Rural tourism exemption.

With this update, we're aligning the integration with the options already supported by Airbnb and removing blocks that previously prevented some connections from being completed.

More control over your Easy Web search engine

We're continuing to improve Easy Web to help you provide a faster, more personalised booking experience by allowing you to configure which filters are displayed in your search engine.

  • Search by a specific area (city centre, beach, etc.)

  • Access specific accommodation directly

  • Display more detailed results with accommodation units shown separately

An improvement designed to help your guests find what they're looking for more quickly, with faster, clearer and more precise navigation.
