List your booking sites and the jobs each link must do. Rates, open dates, bookings and cancellations can follow different rules. Check those rules before adding a tool. Check whether the offer is a full suite, extra channel links or managed help.
Allow time to set up room types, prices and channel links. Booking changes follow each channel’s rules. Do not assume you can add it as a separate layer to any other property tool. Read the Beds24 profile for its plans and requirements.
Plan the move of old bookings with care. The first link does not import them. Date blocks made by hand are not booking imports. Check extra charges for website and booking-engine tools. Read the Hosthub profile for its plans and requirements.
Check which owner or property-manager offer fits you. Compare the work done for you as well as channel coverage. Check what you pay, what is left out and how long the contract lasts. Read the RedAwning profile for its plans and requirements.
Explore all booking-site management tools, what booking-site connections can cover, booking-site services and channel managers to continue your shortlist.
Decide which system controls rates, open dates and listing text. Check the sync mode before editing both sides. One system may own prices while another owns photos. Write down where your team should make each change.
Match each home to the right listing. Check future bookings and manual blocks, then look at dates and prices on each booking site. Go far enough to inspect the offer, but do not complete a test booking unless you intend to buy it.
Edit it in Beds24. Everything sync uses the text and photos from Beds24 in place of Airbnb’s descriptive content. Changes made only in Airbnb can be overwritten. Use View Content in Beds24 before choosing this mode to check what it will send.
Use Hosthub for those blocks when using its documented Airbnb connection. The guide says it receives actual bookings, not manual Airbnb blocks or inquiries. It gives the same advice for Booking.com. Check the dates on linked sites after making the block.
Its page for property managers says your property software stays in control. RedAwning handles the channel links. Check that it works with your current system. Agree where to edit rates and dates. Linking booking sites does not mean it takes over every property task.
