A software company's definition of a property might be different from your personal one or another software. Here is how we classify and qualify properties at Hospitable.
Properties are a group of listings from different booking platforms of the same physical property.
Let’s say you list your property on Airbnb, VRBO and Booking.com; you will then merge all three of those listings together under the same property in Hospitable. This will let us know that those are all listings of the same physical property, and we will sync their reservations between each listing, as well as any calendar values, according to your sync settings.
You should group (aka merge) your listings into properties if:
you host a listing on multiple platforms and want to consolidate their management
you manage co-hosted listings
you have created A/B test listings
For billing purposes, you are charged per active property (not per active listing).
