Make First Name and Last Name Mandatory for New Booking
We just had a guest book without entering their last name. Can you update this so the first name / last name are mandatory for a new booking?

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.
3 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.

Modification of scheduled messages
On the "Scheduled Messages" tab, we should be able to modify a message that is scheduled for a guest. For example, If I have a guest pay for an early check in, I should be able to modify their scheduled messages to show their new real check in time. Right now the only option is to delete a scheduled message and then we have to remember to go in and send it manually at the time it would have normally been sent.

Remove & archive blocks rather than delete them, add change-log feature to blocks
Currently when blocks are deleted, there is no record that they ever existed.
This presents an issue if a block is removed erroneously, there is no way to recover the block, or see when the block was removed or by whom.
Further, for active blocks, it is not possible to see who created a block, when the block was created, or if a block has been changed.
What I'd like to see is:
1) Blocks display what user created them and when.
2) Blocks include a log of changes, that include the date of the change, what the change was,…5 votesThanks for your feedback - we can certainly address the labelling of blocks with creator name and creation time in a first phase.

Owner block should come over as a reservation, not a block.
An owners block should come over as a reservation instead of a block. You can even have custom messaging to confirm their stay or confirm cancelation of an owners block etc. This would make things more automated.
20 votesWe are planning to add specific trigger events for this, so this should cover this use case.

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.

Integrate directly with Expedia
I'd like to integrate directly with Expedia from Hostfully to ensure my properties are listed there and not be charged commission through channel partners.
I understand some properties are distributed to Expedia if I am connected to Vrbo, though Vrbo can't guarantee that will happen and we can't request it. I can connect to Expedia through channel management partners, but they charge an extra commission. A direct connection would guarantee I am listed on that channel and save listings expenses.

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.
5 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.

Color coding for multi-calendar view for NON-booked dates.
While looking at the calendar for dates that aren't booked yet, would be nice to be able to toggle some shading for rates/colors. I use it to help adjust my Dynamic Pricing (DPGO for me) to see where I might have a property over/under priced.
Would be nice to have a few brackets can set the amount and color. 0-200 - Yellow, 201-400 - Green, 400+ Red.2 votes -

Ability to split payments for reservations
Would love to have the option for our guests to use the link to pay any amount like when two guests split the bill in two or more, or when they can pay a certain amount at a time, instead of the strict amount based on our reservation payment policy (50% deposit, 50% balance. That said, when we send them the payment reminder, they can use the link in there and enter "x" amount.

Add backward compatibility for PointCentral API
At present, the PointCentral integration does not automatically create lock codes for any existing bookings in the Hostfully calendar.
In order to generate codes, each booking must be manually opened and re-saved. with 44 listings and nearly 1000 open reservations, this is a very arduous task.
Surely there must be some way to make this integration backward compatible, or at the very least create some kind of master "refresh" button/script that effectively opens and re-saves every reservation in the calendar automatically to accomplish this.

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.

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.

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.

Scheduling security deposit payments
We should have the ability to Schedule. Hopefully should also work with payment systems to negotiate a refund on the transaction fees.

Trigger for not completing payment or pre-arrival forms
It would be great to have complex trigger options for "not" completing pre-arrival form or rental agreement.
Also to have the actions "not" sending check-in instructions if they don't complete them.
I have a hard time remembering to constantly check my pipeline to see if people haven't paid. It would be nice to know there was a safety net in place in case I don't catch it. And if you dont send them their check-in instructions, they will most definitely give you what you need.
