Moving a reservation to another listing

You can move a reservation from one listing to another. You will need to make the change either via Guesty or the relevant channel, depending on where the reservation originated from.

For a reservation in a Confirmed status, moving the reservation to another listing will not affect the original reservation price. The price per night will remain unchanged, even if the new listing has a price per night that is lower or higher than the original listing. Also, fees and taxes will remain the same, and won't change according to the new listing’s pricing.

A reservation in Inquiry or Reserved status does not benefit from locked prices. Changing the listing will cause a recalculation of the price per night as well as fees and taxes.

If there were Auto Tasks assigned to the original listing, these tasks will be canceled and new tasks will be created based on the new listing's Auto Tasks setup.

If Smart Calendar Rules were triggered for the original listing, the block will remain on the relevant dates for the connected listing, even if you move the reservation to another listing. In this case, contact us to remove the block.

Available listings for reassignment 

When assigning a new listing to the reservation, you’ll be able to choose a listing if it is available on the relevant dates, or if the dates are under a "flexible" block, which can be overridden. You won't be able to move a reservation to a listing if its currency is different than the currency of the original listing. You can change the listing's currency if needed. If you’re unable to assign a listing, check our troubleshooting article here.

Relocate reservations from a deactivated listing

When relocating reservations from a deactivated/decommissioned listing, we recommend creating a reservations report of reservations assigned to the deactivated listing to ensure you transfer all of the relevant reservations.

Relocate a reservation mid-stay

There is no option to relocate an ongoing reservation to another listing if the new listing has been occupied during the past days of the reservation.

To overcome this, you can split the reservation. We recommend shortening the dates of the current reservation, ending it on the day of the split, and creating a new reservation for the second listing, starting from the day of the split until the end of the stay.

Where to change the reservation assigned listing

Change the assigned listing via Guesty or the channel as described below. The new listing will be blocked in Guesty and the channel, and the block will automatically be removed from the original listing’s calendar on both platforms.

Airbnb

Pro users Lite users

  • Pro users: You can send a reservation alteration request for the guest's approval, asking to move the reservation to another listing. You can only switch the listing to another listing under the same Airbnb account. Also, you can change the assigned listing just in Guesty, and it won't be updated in Airbnb. Learn more.

Booking.com

  • Only the guest can change the room in their reservation to another room in the same listing (i.e., a different Room ID under the same Hotel ID) via Booking.com. The change will automatically sync to Guesty. 
  • To move the reservation to a different listing (i.e., from one Hotel ID to another), you'll have to cancel the existing reservation in Booking.com, and then create it again with the updated listing. The new reservation will then sync to Guesty.
  • In case you want to move a reservation from one sub-unit to another under the same multi-unit (i.e., under the same Room ID), do so in Guesty, using the instructions below.
