What syncs, and which way
Once a property is enabled and its units are mapped, Airbnb sync is two-way - but each kind of data has one home. Edit it in Stay N Host and let the sync carry it; editing the same thing on Airbnb directly is how the two sides drift apart.
Out to Airbnb
Section titled “Out to Airbnb”| What | How it gets there |
|---|---|
| Availability (your calendar) | Pushes automatically, within about a minute of a change. |
| Nightly prices | Automatic, same cadence. A per-date override wins, then the listing’s base rate, then its unit type’s, then the property’s. |
| Stay rules (min/max nights) | Automatic. Defaults live on the unit type; per-date rules sit on the listing’s Channel links tab. |
| Guest capacity (adults, children, infants) | From the unit type’s Capacity & stay tab - after editing it, click Re-sync setup on the property to push it. |
| Content: photos, descriptions, policies, facilities, taxes | The Push content button - a deliberate manual act, available to Admins and Content Managers. |
In from Airbnb
Section titled “In from Airbnb”| What | Where it lands |
|---|---|
| Bookings, changes, cancellations | Your calendar and Bookings - routine events apply themselves; anything touching money, a conflict, or a cancellation is held in Bookings to Review. |
| Guest messages | Your Inbox; replies you send there flow back to the Airbnb guest. |
| Reviews | The Reviews screen, with the Airbnb rating shown on the property’s channel card. You can publish one public reply per review back to the channel. |
The messaging-app gate
Section titled “The messaging-app gate”Airbnb only opens guest messages and reviews to properties that carry its messaging app. The property row on the Airbnb screen tells you when it is off and offers Turn on guest messaging; until then, neither messages nor reviews arrive, silently.
What’s next
Section titled “What’s next”- Handle bookings held for review
- the events that deliberately do not apply themselves.
- Direct bookings vs Airbnb bookings
- how the two kinds of booking compare once they are in.
