Allow Booking.com requests to require approval.
Currently we can limit the instant booking per property for AirBNB, VRBO and direct bookings. I'd love it if we could add this to Booking.com (BDC) to prevent last minute reservations. We have been having a lot of policy/payment issues with BDC that come in the middle of the night. I would use BDC if we could limit the last minute instant guests who have issues.
7 votesHello, a new Booking.com API is now available to allow for request approval for bookings made within 3 days of the check-in date. This will be implemented soon.

Hide Inactive property in the list when creating leads
I want to hide/remove the inactive properties from the list when creating new lead.
I don't want to delete them because I might manage them in the future, it's just I am not dealing with them at the moment.

Hide notes from Airbnb calendar after a reservation/block has been cancelled/removed
As a PM, I would like the note that contains the Hostfully UID to be removed from the Airbnb calendar when the reservation/block is cancelled or removed so that the calendar on Airbnb is clear.
From the attached screenshot, the open date has the note Block uid=…., which is confusing. It makes me think that the date is not available while it is.

Check box "Send copy to Agency" for custom templates
The check box "Send copy to Agency" in custom templates like the one in system template is for control purpose, we always do send a copy to the agency.
This is because (as you are aware of) the toggle function is not working well and we need to know when and if a template has been send (automatically and manually). It’s our work process at the moment. Also once in a while the connection we have via Outlook got a token error.
This is also a check when we don’t receive a email send into our Outlook Inbox.

Display Balance Outstanding/Paid to Date on Calendar
We love the new Calendar.
We find it difficult to know if all reservations are paid up. We would love to see:
- One the stacked calendar to display something to show if the booking is not paid in full.
- When hovering mouse over a reservation can the flyout show the Balance Outstanding and or the Paid amount.
- It would be great to have a report to filter reservations that have a non-zero balance outstanding. We spoke to the Help Desk folks and they say they cant have a condition on a derived field.
Thank you

We need Hostfully to interact and sync to Airbnb's new Virtual Tour option.
Airbnb has a new Virtual Tour option where pictures are assigned to rooms and then a sort of virtual tour is available for guests. Hostfully doesn't support this function at this time. Unfortunately, one of their new very popular filters is properties with a virtual tour. This means that we are not showing up on this filter.
7 votesHello Heather,
It does not look like Airbnb supports this feature at the moment. Here's an extract from an article on their site:
"Airbnb currently doesn’t support embedding virtual tours into your listing. You’ll have to upload your virtual tour elsewhere and direct your visitors there. You can add a URL of that site in the description, which travelers can copy and paste into their browser, or a QR Code in the image gallery that they can scan."
Do you have more information, or do you have an article or screenshot that details this feature? Please let us know.

Add Pets as a Complex Condition in Messaging Triggers
You are currently able to log the number of pets and infants on a property in the reservation process.
It would be really nice to be able to trigger automated pet-policy emails only to guests who's reservation has a pet associate with it.
11 votesWe're reviewing this, but please be aware that the system provides a great way to handle reservations with pets. Please see documentation at https://help.hostfully.com/en/articles/6812445-how-to-create-an-optional-pet-fee

Ignore tax charge for over x days for HVMI
Currently, the ignore tax charge for over 30 days is only applicable for Vrbo and Hostfully channel. I want it to be applicable for HVMI.

Add tax options for services
We are legally required to tax services and Add-ons, however, the service provided portal does not allow us to add taxes. Currently we're having to manually build taxes into our pricing for services & Add ons, then our accountant's have to break that information out when the reconcile accounts.
In a perfect world, each property would have a "services tax rate" option, that would apply to any services booked for that property.

Option to override certain settings to be able to save leads
I would suggest an override button and an adjustment to how this process works.
If I have a customer over the phone that wants to make a payment on an existing reservation and I need to adjust the financials, I should not have to change settings to save the lead. This increases the chance of us not collecting payment or providing great customer service.
I can understand preventing us from changing dates due to overlap, but the whole reservation should not be locked.
We should still be able to adjust names, contact info, add notes, adjust financials, etc.
I would…

Inbox default to show all messages, not just relevant ones
I think either changing the default of the inbox view to "all" under that status, or giving the user the option to create their own default view would be helpful not to miss past guests or other messages because the system deems what is "relevant" and to change it is a manual process each time.

Inbox Replies from Guests should only include their reply.
Inbox Replies from Guests should ONLY include their reply, and not have the entire message I sent them tacked onto it. I already know what I sent them, as it's right below their reply. Don't need to have what I sent them included in their reply. It is redundant and messy.

Weekend Rate Adjustment for Pricing Periods
Please add a Weekend Rate Adjustment option to the Pricing Periods feature. It would be great if it could be a dollar value as well as a percentage increase. It is very time consuming to go through each pricing period adjusting the weekends. This would make using the pricing periods much more better. Thank you!

Edit fees/taxes
Currently if a new channel is added, you have to delete a fee/tax and add it again as new to include the new chanel.
We should be able to edit this information as we do with any other content.
In addition, it would be nice to be able to apply globally fees/tax settings for new channels as they arise.
As it is now, every new channel we have to delete and read a tax and fee on EVERY listing.

Mid-Term Stays and Recurring Payments
At least 85% of our guests book via our direct booking website. The majority of them stay with us for 2-6 months. They always want to pay for just 1 month at a time, but Hostfully requires them to pay for the entire stay up front. This scares some potential guests away because even though we explain that we can manually just charge them for 1 month at a time, all they see is the huge total amount for the entire stay when they do a search for their dates. When they do book, we are currently having guests just…

Ability to offer a guest an extended discounted stay or early check-in/check-in if there is an opening after their checkout date
The ability to automatically offer a guest an extended discounted stay or early check-in/check-in if it is available. Currently I do that through Lynx but it doesn't update the reservations in Hostfully nor does it update my cleaning crew. Would be very helpful and allow for a lot of extra upselling!

Direct Book- Customizable Reservation Requirements
Currently, the only required information the guest needs to input when instantly booking via Hostfully is their name, email and dates. We need to collect mobile phone numbers, whether or not they're bringing a pet and would like to require a message from them about their stay.
For instant booking on Airbnb, you can require the guest to answer your customized questions at booking. It would remove so much back and forth for me if I could customize what we capture from the guest at the time of booking.12 votesRegarding customizing the booking flow for pets, the system provides a very elegant and customizable solution, which is described in this article: https://help.hostfully.com/en/articles/6895588-handling-pet-fee-in-the-hostfully-booking-flow

Access and edit guest reservations from "Guest Profile"
Hostfully currently has a Guest list, but it is hidden deep in the UI.
Within the guest's "Guest Information" page you are able to see a history of their reservations (Guest Booking History)
However, you are not able to access a reservation from the Guest record or make any changes to their bookings.
If the reservation records show in this page preformed like the pipeline records, this currently useless feature would become an extremely valuable tool, of particular help with guests with multiple bookings.
