Note: the Headline field will be the public name of your rental, which will be used externally for guests, such as on the Smily payment page or external platforms.

Location: 
The first line allows you to determine the advertising area for your rental (think of it as being the nearest touristic area)
The second section (Address) allows you to localize your rental.

Amenities: a large scale of amenities so your customers get as much information as possible

Rates & Rates rules: you can define the base rate for your rental, different seasons with different influences on the base rate and rates rules. You can consult the dedicated manual articles for more information on adding your rates.

Special offers: allows you to give discounts independently from the seasons' rates

Photos: you can upload as many photos as you want.

Videos: you can also upload videos to show your property

Rental Agreement & Rental cancellation policy: if you have a specific rental agreement or cancellation policy for a property, you can add it in these sections. If you don't add a rental agreement or a cancellation policy in the rentals section, the default policy from your account settings will be used.

Fees/Services: you can assign the fees and services that apply to your rental. For more information about fees and services, check out this article: Fees/Services.

Taxes: you can assign the taxes that apply to your rental. For more information about taxes, check out this article: Taxes

Contacts: add any contacts responisible for the management of this rental - more information can be found here: Contacts.

Private: Private notes - these notes won't be synchronised with any channels so they won't appear anywhere except in the rentals section

It is important for you to fill out as much data as possible as it will be used to create/update your website (through our website builder), but also can be pushed to several distribution portals (like Airbnb for example).

That's it! Your property is setup!
You can repeat the process and add more rentals or go to Bookings tab and start updating your calendar.

Delete a Listing:

To delete a listing, go to the "rentals" menu, then click the "action" button and select "cancel rental":

Before performing this action, it is important to ensure that the listing is properly disconnected from the distribution channels.

Note: We recommend that you save the identifier of this listing before deleting it so that you can ask us to reactivate it in the future. The listing identifier is available in the URL of the listing page.

Example : for the URL : https://www.bookingsync.com/en/admin/v2/1234/rentals/190718/edit

The Rental ID is : 190718 

FYI : here the ID 1234 is the account ID.
