Not sending amenities related to enhanced cleaning to Vrbo
I recently received a Vrbo listing audit file that flagged the following warnings:
CLEANINGDISINFECTION is no longer supported.
ENHANCEDCLEANINGPRACTICES is no longer supported.
COMMONSURFACEDISINFECTANTCLEANED is no longer supported.To avoid these warnings, I’d like Hostfully to align with Vrbo’s updates by removing or discontinuing support for these amenities. This will ensure property managers no longer receive these notifications.

Support Booking.com multiple-room reservations within the PMP
At the moment, for BDC channel, Hostfully does not yet support multiple transactions on a single order and only receive the first reservation via API.
We enquire Hostfully to work with booking.com to resolve the tech issue moving forwards. You note that it’s rare but we’ve already had about 3 of these bookings in a short period of time. If 2 suites are booked with booking - then it should automatically show on the calendar, without having to manually blocking out the calendar or raising separate cleaning jobs.
60 votesNow you can manage group reservations from Booking.com in Hostfully, in both the web platform and the mobile app 🤩
When a Booking.com guest books multiple rooms in one reservation, you'll receive a group booking in Hostfully. Each selected room within the group reservation becomes a "sub-booking" with its own details. More details here: https://help.hostfully.com/en/articles/11509339-manage-group-bookings-from-booking-com
We are working on adding more Pipeline actions for group bookings. Currently, if you want to make changes or cancel a group booking, you'll need to do that directly in the Booking.com Extranet.

Report invalid credit card for Booking.com
As a property manager, upon receiving a Booking.com reservation, there are occasions when the credit card may fail to charge for various reasons. However, I face limitations in reporting an invalid card to request a new one from the guest or to request cancellation due to an invalid credit card. This limitation arises because I lack access to the credit card's CVC code, which is now transmitted via API and cannot be viewed on the Extranet anymore.
I'd like to ensure that when a reservation is received via Booking.com and the payment fails, the credit card details are reported…

Support Booking.com Facilities and Services in Hostfully
On Booking.com Extranet => Property => Facilities & Services, we can upload photos for the facilities we have in-house, which helps increase our listing score and get more bookings.
However, this feature is not supported within Hostfully and can also be overridden by Hostfully. Every time we refresh the sync from Hostfully, all setups in the Extranet for Facilities and Services are wiped out.
This is a critical issue, so supporting this feature would mean a lot. Thank you.
5 votesWe made it so you are now able to select all amenities, facilities and services in Booking.com and Hostfully won't override them.

VRBO Listing Description Improvements
When hostfully is integrated with VRBO, the listing description is all out of order. The notes section is at the top, which should be at the bottom like Airbnb. Several fields, are noted through the listing description in a weird order without a headline and it doesn't make any sense. The fields for the neighborhood, interaction, access and transit are described throughout the VRBO listing with no headline and in a very weird order. Those fields should only communicate with Airbnb, since there is no equivalent for VRBO. It creates a very confusing VRBO listing.

Submit and withdraw Airbnb trip change requests in Hostfully/ Change requests auto expire after a certain time
When a guest or Property Manager (PM) submits a request to change their reservation, a temporary block will be placed in Hostfully PMP. If the PM or guest does not respond to the request, the temporary block will remain in PMP. I want to be able to submit, manage and withdraw Airbnb trip change requests in Hostfully; or make trip change requests auto expire after 24 hours, for example, so I don't have to withdraw the request from Airbnb to remove the block.
2 votesWe now support changing Airbnb reservations directly in Hostfully. You can both accept and decline incoming ones from guests and create your own. You can cancel them as well.
The trip change requests don't expire so make sure you cancel them if you want to remove the hold. More info here!

Support more Airbnb amenities
Support more Airbnb amenities:
animals; poolorjacuzziwithnofence; lakeorriverorwaterbody; climbingorplaystructure; heightswithnofence14 votesHi all, you can now set amenities directly on Airbnb and Booking.com and Hostfully won't override them. Since new amenities, facilities, and services are always being added by channels, this will make it easy for you to set what you want without waiting for Hostfully to add it to our product.

Implement Airbnb Resolution Center API
I'd like to receive all financial updates on Airbnb bookings from the Airbnb Resolutions Center on the order in Hostfully so financials can be in synch for bookings and reporting.
Problem Statement:
Right now, if a guest is refunded or funds are collected from a guest using the Airbnb resolution center, then Hostfully does not receive that information for updating bookings and therefore Reporting. This causes a gap in reporting and makes it hard to reconcile.

Partial sync with booking.com
It would be great if Hostfully can build the integration so users can partially sync with Booking.com. For now, there are some contents of the property that we are not able to edit when fully sync with Hostfully and these fields will be erased/greyed out when we connect our listings with Hostfully.

Import Booking.com reservation commission
Booking.com reservation commission should be imported & there should be a field for this in the Enhanced Reporting just like Airbnb Host Service Fee. Sometimes I choose to pay more commission so that BDC boosts my ranking on specific dates. This makes it hard for me to show the correct Booking.com reservation commission in the Enhanced Reports.

Improve the confirmation mechanism for Booking.com reservations
As a PM, I would like to have Booking.com reservations that failed during a database update / outage on PMP to be imported to the system. As of now, it just failed, which resulted in no lead created, and resulted in doubled booking. I have to contact Hostfully support so that they manually import these failed bookings.
5 votesThis work was completed. Now if there is an outage on either side, reservations are automatically imported

Support More Airbnb Property Type
As a PM, I would like to have more property-type options in Airbnb to choose from. At the moment, PMP is missing these: barn, campsite, casaparticular, cycladichouse, dammuso, farmstay, guestsuite, heritagehotel, kezhan, minsu, pension, ryokan, shepherdshut, trullo, windmill.
5 votesThese were added a while ago. Late close on the ticket. You can select these from the main settings of the property under property type.

VRBO integration: display the correct types of supported credit cards
For now, the information about types of supported credit cards does not match between Hostfully and VRBO. That causes issues and confusion. On VRBO, it should only show the supported types of credit cards.

Airbnb - Add photos to "Where you'll sleep" section
Airbnb has a new option to add photos to a "where you'll sleep" section. As a PM, having the ability to add photos to that section helps me improve my listing and set expectations.
As a traveler, it provides me more details on the sleeping arrangements.
I am not currently able to use this section with a full sync from Hostfully to Airbnb as Hostfully does not support it in the API. The only option I have right now, is to do a partial sync or not use that functionality on Airbnb.
37 votesHi everyone! Thank you so much for writing in about Airbnb's "where you'll sleep" feature. We just released the enhancement today.
To use this feature, make sure Airbnb is turned on at the Channels and Property level. Then go to the Property and the Photos tab.
From there, you can enable the "where you'll sleep" option and then map it to the room in the drop-down list. Please see the screen shot attached.
Hostfully yours!

Primary contact on Booking.com
The primary contact on Booking.com needs to be the booking agent not the Admin of the Hostfully Account.
At least remove the syncronization so we can enter the good information because when I make the change it went back the next day.The customer contact me instead of the agent. It doesnt make sens.
13 votesWe have added a picklist on the property main settings to select the primary contact for each property. More can be found in this help article.
