How to assign a reservation to another listing?

Hostaway now allows you to assign a reservation to a different listing for all channels (Hostaway channels and OTAs)

For OTA channels, this change will not be reflected. This change only reflects on Hostaway. In the OTA, the reservation will appear under the original listing, including in reviews or financial reports.
For Hostaway channels (Direct, Booking Engine and WordPress), the reservation will be removed from the original listing and created in the new assigned listing.

Important: For any OTA moved reservation. Any further changes/cancellation in the channel will not be reflected.

How to move a reservation? 

Go to the reservation you wish to edit > Click on Edit on the top right > Select a different listing from the dropdown

FAQ

Q: Will these changes be reflected in the OTA?

A: No, the listing change only affects Hostaway. In the OTA the reservation will appear under the original listing, including in reviews or financial reports. (Except for Hostaway reservations)

Q: What should I do if I want the payout to arrive in a different Stripe account?

A: Cancel existing scheduled charges in the reservation and manually create new ones in Hostaway.

Q: How do I decide which message automation are sent to the guest?

A: By going to the relevant thread in the inbox, and pressing “Upcoming scheduled messages”. You can then choose to pause/un-pause/cancel scheduled messages. If the desired automation doesn’t appear there, you would need to copy and paste it into the inbox, and schedule it for the future by pressing the clock button next to the send button.

Q: What should I do if there are changes to the price?

A: You can manually edit the reservation total price. Note however that this doesn’t automatically charge/refund the guest and this would need to be managed manually.
