Connection information for Airbnb.
Preparing to Connect
The Property Listing on Airbnb must include a listing title with at least 8 characters, a listing description with at least 50 characters, a minimum of 7 photos including 3 high resolution images of 800x500px and at least 5 amenities.
Not meeting the minimum listing requirements will cause the RMS connection to be auto-rejected by Airbnb and display a 403 error in the channel manager logs in RMS.
The Rate Table Person Base and Maximum Allowed Additionals must match the Number of Guests on the Airbnb listing.
Special offers for new Airbnb listings are not supported in the RMS connection.
Airbnb rejects Rate updates from RMS that are higher or lower than the Rate Range setup on the Airbnb listing.
Co-owned listings are not supported in the Airbnb to RMS connection.
Additional Fees can be setup against the listing in the Category & Rate Mapping using a Sundry Charge.
The selected Sundry Charges will be created on the Reservation Account when the Reservation is created with charges voided and re-created when a modification is received from Airbnb.
If a Tax Invoice has been created on the Reservation Account the Additional Fees will not be voided and re-created with the modification.
Guest Messaging
The 'Messaging API' can be activated in the Channel Connection setup for Airbnb to enable directly messaging a Guest for an Airbnb Reservation using the RMS Message Centre instead of logging into Airbnb.
