Property Settings

The Property Settings page in Rentals United is dedicated to manage your listings from a single place. Each channel has its own dedicated Property Settings page where you can look up and manage your listings as well as edit some information on top of what is in Rentals United. This allows you to, for example, set different property availability for each channel you are connected to as well as define custom settings for each channel. For example, you can advertise your property with a 7% mark-up in Booking.com, with an 8% mark-up in Airbnb and with no mark-up in TripAdvisor.

Property Settings provide you with the basic information about your hotel and the connection.

  • 1 - Filtering and viewing options

  • 2 - Clusters which represent an individual hotel. Clusters can be folded and unfolded. Even while folded, clusters' top bars take the colours of the properties' statuses, so that you can easily spot accounts that require your attention without the need to manually click them.

  • 3 - Hotel ID and other hotel details such as name, city and currency

  • 4 - Booking mode in which the stays can be booked, that is instant bookings or booking requests, see here

  • 5 - Connection details such as hotel creation date in the channel, last update date, pricing model set in Rentals United and the connection scope.

    Connection scope indicates the details that we can synchronise to and from Booking.com. If Rentals United has access to a certain area, then you will see the green icon. The connection scope may be different across different users as it is dependent on the access rights the user has given to Rentals United while connecting the channel manager for the first time. The data is refreshed once a day. All areas to which Rentals United can have access are:

    • Reservations

    • Rates and availability

    • Guest reviews

    • Content

    • Photos

    • Messaging

    • Performance data and insights

    • Reporting - guest reporting (no-show, misconduct, stay change)

  • 6 - Listing status which indicates whether the listing (hotel) is live and bookable

  • 7 - Content score which indicates the overall property rating based on the received guest reviews

In Booking.com Property Settings, each hotel is represented by an individual cluster. The hotel clusters present the details about the hotel and its set-up.

  • 1 - Cluster which represents an individual hotel

  • 2 - Booking.com room type which is imported from Booking.com. One hotel may consist of one or more room types.

  • 3 - Booking.com room which is represented by the Rentals United property (property name and property ID). One room type can have one or more properties assigned.

  • 4 - Connection status which indicates whether the room type is live and bookable

  • 5 - Mark-up which can modify the prices before they are passed to Booking.com
