Managing a property room arrangement

Setting up your property room arrangement helps your guests choose a desired room to book, thus making their stay more comfortable and suitable to their needs. You can list the "room types" and which bed types are included in every “bedroom”.

In the context of room arrangement, “room types” refer to the composing rooms or spaces inside a property. These room types can be, for example, bedrooms, living rooms, and bathrooms.

• Shared room: A room shared among members of the guest's party (for example, a shared space). You can indicate which rooms are shared for listings connected to Airbnb or the Booking Engine (Booking Website for Lite users).  
• Full bathroom: contains a toilet and bath.
• Half bathroom: contains a toilet and a sink (also known as "powder room").

Configuring these rooms and spaces is described in this article.

General limitations

You can add a bed to a bedroom or shared space, but cannot add a bed to a full or half-bathroom.

You cannot add a bedroom to a "Studio" property. Also, you cannot add a shared bathroom (full or half) to a property whose listing's type is "Entire place/apt".

Channel information

Airbnb

• You can assign photos to rooms within the listing. Assigned photos will sync to the "Where you'll sleep" section on the Airbnb listing page.
• Set or update your room arrangement in Guesty only if you have set a Full sync for your listing.

• Adding a name to a “shared space” or “bedroom” type won’t sync to Airbnb. A “shared space” type will display as  “living room” in Airbnb, while a “bedroom” type will show as “Bedroom X”.
• If a "shared space" doesn't have a bed, it won’t be included in the "Where you will sleep" section in the Airbnb listing page
• The order of your space arrangements won’t sync between Airbnb and Guesty. However, the number of bedrooms and shared spaces will sync.
