See below how different booking channels compare on key data points regarding their setup when connecting to Guesty.
Booking options
See below the two possible booking options:
- Instant book: Potential guests can reserve a property based on the availability of the listing. Once their credit card is approved, the reservation is confirmed.
- Non-instant book: Potential guests can request to reserve a property based on the availability of the listing. You will need to obtain their credit card details and confirm the reservation.
Importing reservations
When discussing whether reservations are imported from a booking channel or not, you must differentiate between the following types of reservations:
- Past reservations: Reservations that were made on the booking channel and were checked in before the booking channel connected with Guesty.
- Future reservations: Reservations that were made on the booking channel but were not checked in before the booking channel connected with Guesty.
Sync time
Some booking channels sync with Guesty immediately, when an update is made, while others sync daily. Additionally, within a booking channel, some data may sync immediately while other data may sync daily.
Note:
As seen below, the term "booking channels" also refers to manual reservations and other reservation sources, such as the Guesty Booking Website.

Important:
Messages from past reservation are only imported for Airbnb reservations.
Note:
Published Booking.com listings can't have reservations that were made on the booking channel (past or future), since these listings were originally created in Guesty.
The same is true for reservations that are made through the Guesty Booking Website and manual reservations.
Guesty users must create a new Misterb&b account through this link.
If you have an existing account, contact Misterb&b support to merge the accounts and transfer any future reservations to the new account created from Guesty.
