Assigning owners and listings

Once you add an owner, start using Guesty's Accounting feature, and/or set up your Owners Portal website, you'll need to assign at least one listing to the owner.

You can assign a listing to an owner from the "Properties" page . Alternatively, you can assign multiple listings to an owner via the owner's profile. 

This process is also accessible through the Guesty Mobile App.

Important:

  • At least one property needs to be assigned to an owner. If an owner only has one property assigned, and you want to unassign it, you will need to assign a different property to the owner before proceeding. Alternatively, you can delete the owner.
  • Make sure that your listing is assigned a single owner before assigning it to a business model. A listing that is assigned to a business model must be associated with exactly one owner.

Assign and unassign multiple listings to an owner

You can assign listings to an owner in bulk by using filters via the "Properties" tab in the owner's profile. You can filter by tag, city, country, owner, and property level.

For example, to find listings in Spain, you can use the "Country" filter and type "Spain". This will display all your listings in Spain. You can then select multiple listings or choose individual ones to assign to the owner.

Follow the instructions below to assign multiple listings to an owner.

Step by step:

  1. Sign in to your Guesty account.
  2. In the top navigation bar click the mode selector and select Operations mode.
  3. Click Owners and select the relevant owner.

  7. Click + Filters and select any filters you want to apply.
    Once you have selected your filter type, click the dropdown arrow next to each filter to refine your search.
  8. Check all the listings you want to assign to the owner. If the selected listing is a multi-unit, the parent unit and its sub-units must be selected.
  9. Click Done.
  10. Click Save to apply changes.
    The listings are now assigned to the owner.

You can also unassign and reassign listings to owners under the "Properties" tab in the owner's profile. Click Edit to open the sidebar displaying a list of "Assigned" and "Unassigned" listings.

  • Under "Assigned" click the X next to the listings you want to unassign.
