When creating a new multi-unit listing, you’ll need to decide whether reservations are assigned to a sub-unit automatically, or manually. You can change these settings at any time.
If you choose to assign reservations to sub-units manually, learn below how to view unassigned reservations, and how to assign or unassign them to sub-units.
Even if you set an automatic assignment to sub-units, in some cases, the reservation will remain unassigned, and you'll need to assign it manually:
- If there aren't enough consecutive nights available on the calendar. By default, reservations can be received for a multi-unit regardless of having a single sub-unit to host the entire guest stay. I.e., if the stay can be allotted between different sub-units, each vacant to host a segment of the reservation, the reservation can be booked but will remain unassigned.
- If you move a reservation to another sub-unit via the booking channel, and the sub-unit is unavailable
-
Reservations with a Reserved or Inquiry cannot be automatically assigned. Also, reservations that were imported from Airbnb as "Inquires", and then changed to "Confirmed", cannot be automatically assigned.
-
Auto-assignment is not supported for Booking.com reservations
You can relocate other reservations to different sub-units to create vacancies. Alternatively, you can block the availability of the multi-unit in advance if there is not a specific sub-unit available to host the entire guest stay.
View unassigned reservations
You can view and manage all of your multi-unit listings and reservations in one place using Guesty's Multi-Calendar. If any upcoming reservations are not yet assigned to sub-units, an indication like this: will appear in the left sidebar of the Multi-Calendar, next to the name of the relevant property. Learn how to configure how much time before check-in this indication will be shown in the Multi-Calendar.
Also, you can see all upcoming, unassigned reservations by creating a reservations report.
Manually assign a sub-unit to a reservation
