For your listing to appear on the Booking Engine, specific settings must be enabled and properly configured. Generally, you need to ensure the listing is marked as active, has valid rates and availability, and is set to display on direct booking channels. Below are the main settings that influence whether your listing shows up in the Booking Engine:
- Minimum/Maximum night requirements: If a guest’s intended stay is shorter than the minimum or longer than the maximum nights, the listing won’t display.
- Advanced notice: Some listings require a certain amount of lead time before check-in. Searches without enough notice won’t see these listings.
- Occupancy limits: If the number of guests exceeds your listing’s maximum occupancy, the listing won’t appear in search results.
- Calendar blocks: Dates marked “blocked” (maintenance, owner stays, etc.) prevent availability on those days.
- Guest filters: If a guest applies filters (amenities, property type, etc.) that your listing doesn’t match, it won’t show up in filtered results.
- Revenue management settings: Dynamic pricing or other pricing rules might restrict availability. For example, pricing rules that are too narrow can effectively block bookings.
Double-check these booking settings to ensure your property is accurately reflected in the booking engine.
