Account Settings

Account Settings is a dedicated tab available for each channel that allows to define some additional settings, specific only for this particular channel. Hence, not all channels will have this tab visible. Additionally, any setting that is defined within the Account Settings tab will be applied exclusively for this particular channel. Other channels will not be affected.

Automatic listing content update

With Automatic listing content update, you can turn on an automatic property descriptive content update and make your connection to Booking.com seamless. This means that whenever you edit your properties in Rentals United, the listings in Booking.com will be automatically updated. Find the important information below:

  • Setting can be turned on / off per account

  • It affects property descriptive content only

  • The changes are pushed to the channels every 4 hours. It means your updates should be visible on Booking.com within the next 24 hours, depending on the channel's processing time

  • Listings that do not meet minimum requirements to connect will not be updated. In case your changes are not visible in the channel, make sure that your properties meet these criteria. Note that you will not see any notification in Booking.com Property Settings if the property does not meet minimum content requirements.

  • In case the update is unsuccessful, you will see an update error in the Booking.com Property Settings.

Note: For Booking.com, updates are possible in two configurations: 

  • one hotel - one room - one rate

  • one hotel - one room - multiple rates

If you need to update the channel for properties in a different set-up, please contact the Rentals United Support Team and we will carry this on for you.

Note: Property descriptive content updates include fees, taxes, standard number of guests and maximum occupancy. These data can influence your pricing. Changes in extra guest price or discounts do not trigger an update.
Note: If you attempted to add a new property to Booking.com in the past and it was failed for some reason, the automatic listing content update feature will try to push the failed properties to the channel. If you do not wish these failed property pushes to be processed, make sure to clear the error that shows up after the initial push failed.
