Add Request to Book for Booking.com
Right now only instant book is available. PMs would like to use a booking request flow instead.
28 votesGreat news! You can now set Request to Book for Booking.com!
Currently, this option is limited to:
- New properties on Booking.com (i.e., listings that are newly introduced and meet Booking.com’s eligibility requirements). Existing listings already set up with Instant Booking cannot be switched to RTB.
- Specific property types where guests rent the entire place, including: Holiday homes, Apartments, Villas.
- If you are using master - subunits, or multi-unit listing, the option to set "Booking Request" is only visible in the top-level property (e.g. master unit). Still, all the child listings will inherit the same booking setting as that of your top-level property.

Fully support Airbnb photo tours with all room types
AIrbnb now has PHOTO TOUR.
In Hostfully it appears to map from "Where you will Sleep" in a photo.
Which is very confusing as it's no longer just where you will sleep. (hence why I wasn't using it).
It is now a way to setup the Photo Tour.
If you set it up directly on Airbnb, the next sync will override it and it will be undone.
Every ROOM must have a photo tagged to it before Airbnb will show the actual Photo Tour.
Can you update the description to show Photo Tour Mapping not where you will sleep and…37 votesGreat news! Hostfully now supports all Airbnb room types when adding new rooms - right from within the platform.
Previously, certain room types had to be created directly on Airbnb. Now, when you add a new room in Hostfully, you'll see the full list of Airbnb-supported room types available to choose from and can easily set up Airbnb Photo Tour in Hostfully!

Improve how photos can be organized and re-ordered
The drag and re-order is too tedious, especially when you just got all new photos for your listing and need to delete all these old ones and reorder 50 new ones.
I think that there should be a toggle between the current view and a thumbnail view that puts the photos in a grid (maybe 4-5 across and then they are in rows going down) without the photo comments in this thumbnail view. That way we can reorder the photos quickly and see better what overall the order looks like to guests, and then when we are ready to add…
71 votesHi everyone! We're excited to inform you that with the redesign of the property settings, now it's easier than ever to organize and re-order your property's photos.

Thanks for your patience while we worked on improving this feature!

Enhanced Photo Gallery Layout for Property Listings
Currently, the property photo section displays images vertically, one below the other. While functional, this layout can make it difficult to view the overall sequence or organisation of photos.
We propose implementing a gallery-style view, where 4-5 photos are displayed per row. This change would allow users to better visualise the sequence of images, organise them more efficiently, and easily select multiple photos for deletion or editing in bulk.
This enhancement would streamline the photo management process and improve the overall user experience.
4 votesThis requested layout has been completed. Thanks for the input!

Support more types of taxes WITH "long stay exemption" for direct bookings
Support more types of taxes WITH "long stay exemption" for direct bookings and all other platforms, especially Occupancy Tax/ City tax / Tourist tax.
Because, the governmental rule can be that this occupancy tax is valid up until a certain number of nights (in this case 30 nights). So, it must not be shown when a guest books for 31 nights.
Hostfully only has the option Ignore tax charge for over applied to Rental and Cleaning fee taxes, not Occupancy tax.
Long term stay exemption from Fees & Policies tab only applies to Airbnb, not Direct Booking.
However, we need…

Support cancellation policy at property level for Booking.com.
The issue is new property on Booking.com requires no prepayment and full refund policy until they clarify the listing so changing it from Channel level will affect all other listings. Really inconvenient.
14 votesThe option to set a cancellation policy at the property level is now available for Booking.com. You'll find this within your property settings for each property!

Able to delete the common space on property setting
Each time, I want to delete the common space, I have contacted CS to delete it from back end. I want to have the option to delete the common space on the property setting UI directly.

Show character count in all fields with a character limit in Property Description Tab
Now that Airbnb and VRBO both have restrictions on the number of characters for Public Name and Long Description, it would be extremely helpful and more streamline to make those adjustments. Instead I'll have to copy and past into a word doc and the paste back into. It's kinda clumsy and time consuming as I have 20+ properties to adjust. Unless I am missing it somewhere. :)
70 votesGreat news! With the redesign of the Property Settings, now you'll see the character count LIVE in all fields with a character limit in the property's descriptions.

Airbnb "Where you'll sleep" photos
The photos from Hostfully can be mapped to Airbnb even though it's not a sleep area so the work "Where you'll sleep" could be a bit confused, I think it would be better if we can change it to something like "Map to Airbnb" only or remove the "sleep portion".
3 votesThe new v3 photo manager now supports the new "Map to room" as available on Airbnb. Please contact our team for early access if interested.

Do not require to toggle off and then back on to Apartment in the Room Type field.
Currently, the Room Type field defaults to Apartment, because it is the first in the list. However, to select an apartment type for the Booking.com Room Name field, you must toggle OFF the Room Type: Apartment, then toggle back to it, in order for the booking.com Room Name dropdown to populate with Apartment options.
Can Room Type Apartment just have the Apartment options without toggling off?
OR, leave that field blank and force one to select so it will populate that applicable Booking.com Room Names as applicable?1 voteThis is fixed now with property settings v3
