Show property price in the list view once dates and guest count have been entered
Right now prospective guests are REALLY struggling to understand how much our properties cost. It's the number one question we get from people who are searching on our direct booking site.
The problem is that there is no way to compare prices across properties other than drilling down into several property pages open in several tabs and entering dates and guest count info in each one.
It would be much easier to enter the dates and guest count once in the main search and see the total displayed under each property's tile. It's nice that there's already the ability to…

Expand length of the Direct Booking Site "Review Response" field
As a PM I would like to have up to 500 characters to respond to a guest review so that I can be very detailed about my response. Right now, there's a limit of 255 characters.

Improve "Available Properties" email
The price quoted in the email is deceptively high and would scare off guests since it is the total including the deposit and all fees. I would think that if they clicked on one of the properties in the email that it would show them a breakdown of how that figure was calculated. But it just takes them to the listing. Not a quote. ---Personally I'd prefer if this email would publish the nightly rate instead. Let the guests see all the fees and deposits later. This email should entice them, not scare them off.

Add “Referral Source” as a Required Field for Direct Booking Inquiries
Description:
Add an option in the Hostfully Direct Booking Site settings to create a required custom field asking “Who referred you to our rental?” during the initial inquiry or booking request process.

• Helps property managers identify successful referral channels.
• Supports referral programs and marketing ROI tracking.
• Improves lead quality by gathering valuable info at the first point of contact.Suggested Implementation:
• Allow admins to create a custom “Referral Source” field.
• Option to mark the field…2 votes -

Allow booking request outside booking lead time (Direct Bookings)
It ill be great to have a DBS button the same way it works for Airbnb. This is because we're a business who work in business hours. We have instant booking setup in general but after a certain time in the day, it becomes more complicated to accept a last-minute guest. They should be able to submit requests too.

Differentiate the "Additional charge option" from the "Security deposit" on the checkout page
We used the “Additional Charge” feature, but on the checkout page, next to the security deposit it says (refundable). The security deposit is not actually included in the amount they pay upfront, so it is technically not “refundable.” Many guests contact us to ask when they will receive a refund of their security deposit and we have to explain to them that it was never paid, but is just an additional charge option we have after checkout if needed. Guests are often disappointed to realize this, thinking they were going to get $500 back of what they had already paid.

Make Direct Booking site pricing details editable- Units section (not frontpage)
Not being able to modify DBS price display for Units once you click from frontpage shows an average price which is higher than half of our year and can turn away guests that are looking for lower prices. This is misleading guests.
It should be exactly the same as the units that show on the front page.
