Guesty is unable to import guest details from reservations that have check-out dates prior to the date you connected your Airbnb account to Guesty.
Airbnb restricts this information for privacy reasons. -
Photos will be imported from Airbnb into Guesty with a lower resolution, and won't sync with Guesty after the initial import.
If additional photos are added later in Airbnb, they will need to be added manually into Guesty. We recommend removing any photos that were imported from Airbnb, and manually adding them into Guesty.
