Step 2: Amenities

Synchronization of amenities and amenities-related information from RNS is supported, but turned off by default. This is because RNS does not have a predefined list of amenities and its clients can use amenities with custom names in a non-standard format. This rules apply to the following data:

  • amenities (including amenities distribution) > find Manage amenities in Rentals United only set by default in PMS Settings,

  • bedding information (including property layout and beds distribution) > you can find the Bedding info checkbox being unchecked by default in PMS Settings.

Tip: Why adding amenities directly is recommended?

  • save time and skip the mapping process

  • choose exact amenities that best describe your property

  • create exact rooms and property layout

  • distribute amenities across the rooms

  • no need to contact Rentals United and request mapping of every new property

If you want to proceed with mappings, please contact the Rentals United Support Team. You will have to work with us to compile a list of mappings for your account. Every time you add a new amenity in RNS, you will need to inform Rentals United to map it for you.

Your amenities will automatically start flowing from RNS based on the general mappings we have in our system. Note that the list of mapped amenities is insufficient and we strongly discourage you from using this option. Note that you can contact the Rentals United Support Team and request a full list of general amenities and bed mappings any time.

In case it is mandatory to connect to some Sales Channels or you want to have this information filled in for your property, switch off the synchronisation of this element and update this information directly in the Rentals United platform. Note that if you switch the synchronisation on again, whatever you have in Rentals United will be overwritten with the data from your PMS again.

Bed types

Note: Synchronization of Bedding info is supported, but turned off by default in PMS Settings. It is strongly recommended not to turn synchronization on in this case. See Step 2: Amenities.

If you turned synchronization of Bedding info on, your beds are passed to Rentals United on the basis of general and/or custom mappings.
