The Owners Portal is a website, separate from the Guesty dashboard, where your property owners can view data about their properties, earnings, and more.
You or your owners can also block off a listing's calendar for their own personal stays by creating an owner reservation via the Owners Portal.
The selected dates will be blocked in all booking channels.
Important:
Owners will be able to book their own stays via the Owners Portal after you've enabled reservations via the Owners Portal "Features" section.
Keep in mind that Guesty fees aren't applied to owners' reservations.
