There are some caveats when it comes to how rule-sets work with Airbnb, when using Hospitable.

Let’s look at what happens to your rule-sets on Airbnb when you start using rule-sets on Hospitable.

When you connect your Airbnb account to Hospitable, we will ask you if you want to import your rule-sets from Airbnb over to Hospitable.

You can choose to import all of your rule-sets, select which ones you want to import, or prevent any rule-sets from being imported into Hospitable.

Your imported Airbnb rule-sets will be listed on your Hospitable calendar when you select “Apply rule-set” for a selected date range.

Rule sets edited or created on Hospitable will have a "Hospitable" prefix added to their name on your Airbnb calendar.

When you edit a rule-set on Hospitable, you will see those edits reflected on the rule-set on Airbnb and/or directly on the Airbnb calendar.

Edits made to a rule-set on Airbnb will not be synced over to Hospitable!

In order for values in rule-sets to be synced over to other listings on the same property (Booking.com, Agoda, VRBO, Direct), any edits to the rule-sets must be made on the Hospitable calendar directly.

When you create a new rule-set on Airbnb, Hospitable will not pull that in and apply to your calendar.

Only rule-sets which were created on Airbnb before the Airbnb channel was connected to Hospitable, or before the rule-sets feature was enabled on Hospitable will be pulled in and will be manageable on Hospitable.

When you create a rule-set on Hospitable, we will push that rule set over to Airbnb.

We will only push colour, title and discounts, deliberately omitting other details such as availability rules and seasonal adjustment. Those will still be applied to your Airbnb calendar, but not visible on the rule-set settings in your Airbnb calendar.

You will see the rule-set in your list of rule-sets on Airbnb, and you will see it applied to your Airbnb calendar as well. It will be coloured in your Airbnb calendar with the colour you assigned to the rule-set.

Airbnb applies discounts to pricing either directly on your Airbnb calendar, or during the booking process.

Your prices in the Airbnb calendar are displayed with these discounts already applied. This can mean that the prices you see for some dates on Airbnb are different to the prices you see in your Hospitable calendar.

Is not visible in your calendar on Hospitable or Airbnb, but is displayed in the pricing shown to the guest during their booking flow.

This can mean that the guest sees a different price than what you would see if you simply added the nightly rates of the booked nights together.
